  1. Rachel Maddow is right: according to the U.S. Census Bureau, women still only make 77 cents on the dollar compared to men. According to a new report, “Women’s median earnings are lower than men’s in nearly all occupations…” [IWPR, April 2012]. 
    Wisconsin’s Equal Pay Law has been repealed. Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin argued that the reasons for getting rid of Wisconsin’s Equal Pay Law are that “money is more important to men” and that they “may be a bit more money conscious.” 

    Congress is slated to very soon be voting on a new act called the Paycheck Fairness Act, which would strengthen the federal Equal Pay Act of 1963.
    Take action today! Tell your Congressman to pass the Paycheck Fairness Act.


    It does not matter to us what political party you are or are not part of nor does it matter to us that you don’t live in America. This is blatantly sexist and downright misogynistic. What is important to us is that everyone is seen equal and everyone has the same rights. What is important to us is that America continues to takes steps forward to make this an equal nation.

     
  2. ieatcatlitter: May is Borderline Personality Disorder Awareness Month, as well as mental health awareness month. University of Washington psychologist Marsha Linehan, one of the world’s leading experts on BPD, describes it this way: “Borderline individuals are the psychological equivalent of third-degree-burn patients. They simply have, so to speak, no emotional skin. Even the slightest touch or movement can create immense suffering.”http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1870491,00.html You never know who is currently having a rough time or dealing with mental illness, unless they tell you. The likeliness that that will happen is generally slim, especially with BPD.

    What do we do? Seeing as how we are just starting out, the possibilities are endless but as of right now we’re an online community whose sole purpose is to listen and inform.  We are by no means professionals, but we have had our own struggles.  We are not advice givers but we are great listeners.  Really, we just want people to know that what they’re going through isn’t weird, it isn’t taboo, and it most definitely is not the end all, be all.  We hope to inspire people to realize that there is so much more to the bigger picture.  As with anything, we hope that Project Midnight will grow and that we will be able to become even more active in the self-harm, and mood/eating disordered community.

    Along with striving to be a community people can feel comfortable in, we want Project Midnight to be informative. Not only do we want to supply information about self-harm and mood/eating disorders, but we also want to inform people about what is going on around them - with the government, with their countries, with social aspects that everyone can have a say in. If there is something that you don’t think is right, then find a way to change it. If there is something you feel passionate about, there is always some way to get involved. Despite what people may say, your voice really does matter.
