leaves in the forest: rape is a tired trope that needs to be put to rest
http://leavesintheforest.blogspot.com/2015/05/rape-is-tired-trope-that-needs-to-be.html
Leaves in the forest. One jag's thoughts on stuff. Wednesday, May 20, 2015. Rape is a tired trope that needs to be put to rest. After last Sunday's episode of Game of Thrones. The New York Times. Fans: How do you feel about the show's depictions of sexual violence? That's a good question; one I think needs asking. I'm to the point where I can't stomach any rape scene, regardless of the context. I've seen arguments recently re: Game of Thrones. However, that lament the rape scenes. An argument can be made...

What Makes Indiana's Religious-Freedom Law Different? Just look at our history. This country is still predominately a Christian nation.

Leaves in the forest. One jag's thoughts on stuff. Saturday, January 17, 2015. On newbuddhist.com today. A university student doing some research for an essay regarding contemporary Buddhism asked, Why does Buddhism appeal to you? My answer to such questions changes depending on the day, with certain aspects taking the forefront in my mind, and today was no different. Since recently starting Richard Dawkins' The Selfish Gene.

leaves in the forest: salo
http://leavesintheforest.blogspot.com/2011/12/salo.html
Leaves in the forest. One jag's thoughts on stuff. Monday, December 26, 2011. I watched Pier Paolo Pasolini's last film, Salo, or the 120 Days of Sodom. Tonight. The genius of Salo. Is also its downfall and why it was banned in several countries. It's one of those films that, if we let it, succeed in forcing us to confront what we fear the most—the evil that lurks in the depths of the human heart, a horror that's all the more terrifying because it's real. In this, Salo. December 29, 2011 at 1:32 AM.

http://leavesintheforest.blogspot.com/2009/05/si-se-puede.html
Leaves in the forest. One jag's thoughts on stuff. Saturday, May 2, 2009. 161;si se puede! Yesterday, I attended the May Day rally and march. In downtown Portland. I ended up talking to some cool people and marching for a great cause. It felt good being a part of something that's trying to raise awareness about important issues that affect us all, especially when it comes to immigration. To live in this country while I simply have the luxury of being born here and often take that for granted. Mancow wate...

leaves in the forest: August 2014
http://leavesintheforest.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Leaves in the forest. One jag's thoughts on stuff. Monday, August 4, 2014. Fives days at our lady. Thursday morning, I awoke to a bright, blue sky and a dull headache nesting behind my right eye, excited and at the same time somewhat anxious about my five-day guest house retreat at Our Lady of Guadalupe Trappist Abbey. Which I found had a lot in common with the wisdom of many of the Thai Forest ajahns, whose ascetic lifestyle in many ways mirrors that of the early Christian monks and nuns who lived conte...

Leaves in the forest. One jag's thoughts on stuff. Friday, July 10, 2015. Some reflections on the passing of my mother. Even still, I wasn't really. On the flight; and with every bump of turbulence, I thought that at least my pain would end if I were to die. Midway through, they called for a doctor. Someone was having a medical emergency. I'm not sure how serious it was, but after we landed a lady was helped off by EMTs before the rest of us could exit, and I hoped that she'd be OK. While there is a lowe...

leaves in the forest: colour me impressed, pope
http://leavesintheforest.blogspot.com/2015/05/colour-me-impressed-pope.html
Leaves in the forest. One jag's thoughts on stuff. Wednesday, May 13, 2015. Colour me impressed, pope. While I'm skeptical a two-state solution is viable given the history and logic of settler states. On a related note, I also read that the Pope helped facilitate. The US-Cuba deal, which may allow US researchers access to a potentially-effective lung cancer vaccine. Developed at the Cuban Center for Molecular Immunology, as well as offered this gem.
