We have a number of teachers at Atop, including me. Today I received an email from my state teachers association that included some links about the Save Our Schools rally in DC on July 30. Matt Damon was a speaker (his mother is a teacher). Here is an MS NBC commentary on it. www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/43996175#43996175 |

A proposed anti-LGBT constitutional amendment to make marriage only between a man and women is currently being debated in the North Carolina House of Representatives.
This must be the most evil, disgusting man who has the audacity to call himself christian.

WOW, just wow! In Response To String Of Sexual Assaults, NYPD Tell Women To Cover Up Instead Of Catching Attacker j.mp/mSfOD2 by @mariesdiamond I had so many things I wanted to say in response to this that I just didn't know where to start, so I will will limit myself to Yuck! Not enough but anything else would be a rant. |

I found this interesting, but too far off topic for the main thread- This is a tumblr showing/telling stories of many, many people struggling in these economic times. It is in support of the Occupy Wall Street protest movement. Mostly stories from young people. Lot's of stories of student loan debt being an overwhelming burden. Also medical bills, mortgage problems, disability issues, difficulty finding jobs, etc. Yes, lots of these stories reflect some poor financial choices, but until the current economic mess most of these choices were considered a good risk on the way to a bright future. Anyway. here's the link. Fascinating, whether or not you support the Occupy Wall Street protests- wearethe99percent.tumblr.com/peace&love |

OK slightly random but... Just had to share the best stories of same sex relationships in the animal kingdom ever. Not so intrigued with the first example. I had no idea how kinky dolphins are. But my favorite is the penguin couple. So incredibly sweet. www.popsci.com/science/gallery/2011-09/gallery-gay-animals |

I should have because they are important and the truth they are telling and trying to get the country to hear is important. I applaud their bravery and hope they have the stamina to continue their demonstration until and after the media begins to take them seriously. This voice needs to be heard. |
