I’m abandoning Tumblr.

Well, this tumblr, anyway.

It has come to my attention that certain people are lurking here and taking what I say elsewhere to harass others. 

I loved being able to come here and say whatever I wanted without having to worry about it. Only FOUR people from my real life know about this blog. I was shielded. But now there’s been a breach.

I used to bitch about the evolution of Tumblr… it used to be all grown ups, mostly thoughtful people and now the place is overrun with children. But the funny part is, there are 15 year olds here that are more mature than what I’m dealing with.

So, anyway. Here’s the deal. I’m taking my ball and going to play elsewhere. I’ll leave this up ‘cause it records THREE years of memories and I’ll be damned if I let anyone interfere with that. But I’m getting a new Tumblr where I can go back to speaking freely from now on.

So, if you care enough use my ask anything and let me know and I’ll give you the new url. Make sure you don’t ask anon ‘cause I’m not divulging the info to those. Sorry about the extra work! 

P.S.: I’m giving myself MAD props right now for my restraint in crafting this post ‘cause there’s much more I want to say…but I won’t out of respect. I’m thoroughly pissed off and sad that I’m having to do this.

I’m not jumping on the Gears of War bandwagon

Despite the fact that that’s all my friends are playing today =/

I hate that game, I keep getting stuck behind the walls. Taking cover is for sissies.

This Is All Kinds Of Wrong of the Day: In 1991, Troy Davis was convicted of murdering off-duty policeman Mark MacPhail in parking lot in Savannah, Georgia, and sentenced to die.
As no physical evidence connected Davis to the crime, and a murder weapon was never found, the conviction was entirely based on the testimony of nine witnesses, seven of whom have since recanted all or part of sworn statements.
Several of the witnesses said they were pressured by police officers to place the blame on Davis, while ten new witnesses have since come forward to say Sylvester “Redd” Coles — the man who reported Davis to the cops — was the real murderer.
Despite a slew of doubts concerning his guilty, Davis is on course to be executed Wednesday night at 7 PM by lethal injection. The Georgia Board of Pardons and Paroles today denied his request for clemency, even after hearing from a juror in Davis’s trial who said the verdict could no longer be trusted.
A last-ditch effort to prevent Davis — who has had three previous stays of executions — from being put to death is underway, but many fear Davis’s legal avenues have unjustly reached a dead end.

This is fucked up. There has been a slow shift in the country towards recognizing that eyewitness identification evidence is unreliable for a variety of reasons and it boggles my mind that with his request for clemency was denied. That alone should cast doubt and allow for a stay of the execution. Nevermind all the people who testified about who was the real murderer and all the recanted testimony. This makes me so sad.
