me.
i'm brooke. a short, fatish, bisexual, feminist, pacifist, very-liberal activist. i have 4 cats. and 2 computers, 2 kayaks, 1 masters degree, multiple backpacks, and way too many books.
i live in the most beautiful eugene, oregon. i'm currently disabled due to treatment resistant severe depression. i've been blogging since election day of 2000.
i'm born and raised in the mountains of southwestern virginia. i could join the daughters of the american revolution, i don't think they'd like me cause i hear they like to throw tea parties instead of rallies and revolutions.

Thursday, July 17
i'm watching a program on holocaust denial on opb. they show pictures of the bodies of the dead. i want to reach into my television and hold each and everyone, and comfort them as they pass into the world beyond. and i see the pictures of those being deported and i want to gently take their hands and lead them away to safety. i want them to know how cared about they are, how 60 years later there are people who care that they exist, who wish they could take the fear off their faces.
the holocaust is past. but each time i sit down to read a story, each time i watch a television program, i want to be able to reach into time and stop it.
how could they have looked into the faces of the innocent, the terrified, the eyes of wonder of how this could be happening and do what they did to them? how is it that humans can be so inhuman? how can humans not care to such degrees?
