A disturbing, but all too familiar incident that illustrates why the work to stop violence against women is not over by a long shot.

From globalpost on Tumblr:

MUMBIA, India — On July 9, a group of men attacked a girl after she stepped out of a club on a busy street in Guwahati, Assam. A reporter, who was later joined by a cameraman, filmed the entire incident, and a local television channel released the footage the following day.

The girl was molested, burned, and beaten for at least half an hour. The men tried to strip off her clothes. The girl fruitlessly begged bystanders, passersby, and the men filming for help – nobody put a stop to it.

From A Swiftly Tilting Planet...

One of the versions of Patrick’s Rune per Madeleine L’Engle:

“In this fateful hour,
I place all Heaven with its power
And the sun with its brightness,
And the snow with its whiteness,
And the fire with all the strength it hath,
And the lightning with its rapid wrath,
And the winds with their swiftness along their path,
And the rocks with their steepness,
And the earth with its starkness,
All these I place
Between myself and the powers of darkness!”

I am thinking about Neil Armstrong and I am thinking about Apollo 11

I am thinking about Neil Armstrong and I am thinking about Apollo 11

“RT @ABCWorldNews: Neil Armstrong, the first astronaut to walk on the moon as commander of Apollo 11, has died. He was 82 years old. http://abcn.ws/RaYbbC”

From discoverynews:

“For those who may ask what they can do to honor Neil, we have a simple request. Honor his example of service, accomplishment and modesty, and the next time you walk outside on a clear night and see the moon smiling down at you, think of Neil Armstrong and give him a wink.”
