I do not fear man or devil; it is not in my blood, & if they can shoot any straighter or quicker than I, let them try it

☞ “I do not fear man or devil; it is not in my blood, & if they can shoot any straighter or quicker than I, let them try it, for a .44 equalizes frail women & brute men, & all women ought to be able to protect themselves against such ruffians.” -- Ellen “Captain Jack” Elliot, Queen of the Rockies.

☞Today in History -- On today’s date 103 years ago, Friday, June 17, 1921, noted Old-West Anglo-American gold prospector & Indian fighter Ellen “Captain Jack” Elliott (1842-1921) met her earthly demise at the age of 78 when she died from the effects of “leakage of the heart” at the town of Colorado Springs in El Paso County, Colorado.

☞Requiéscat in Pace, Captain Jack Elliot.

☞The following text is an excerpt from the website of the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City:

Ellen Elliott Jack was born in New Lentern, Nottingham, England, on November 4, 1842. As a young girl, Ellen encountered a gypsy queen who foretold of a life of tragedy & treasures. Who would have believed these predictions would come true? Ellen met her future husband, Charles E. Jack, in 1860 whilst aboard the steamer, James Foster. Once married, Ellen settled with Charles in New York, but soon he left the city & became a Navy captain during the Civil War. While he was gone, Ellen gave birth to their first daughter & soon after the war gave birth to a son. Tragedy struck when both children were lost to scarlet fever. Later, Ellen had two more daughters, losing one to scarlet fever. It was not long after these deaths that Captain Jack died of an enlarged heart.

Ellen decided that she would head west & placed her surviving daughter in the care of her sister-in-law. She established a thriving boarding house in Gunnison, Colorado & began her search for treasure in the mines of Colorado. During one of her trips into the mountains, Ellen discovered the very profitable, Black Queen silver mine. The mine provided Ellen with happiness as well as heartache. Several men proclaimed their love for her, but Ellen did not return that love until she met a man named Walsh. It turned out that Walsh was a con man & he tried, & failed, to steal all of Ellen’s wealth.

Accomplished at handling pistols & rifles, Ellen had to use these weapons more than once throughout her life. The boom towns she traveled through required that she be ready to defend herself & face arrest for doing so. Of the numerous times she was arrested, Ellen was always justified in shooting the man or men who tried to steal, cheat, or kill her. Ellen spent the rest of her life prospecting in the Colorado area. It is said she always carried her pistol & her pick-ax with her no matter where she traveled.

☞The photograph, from a 1906 picture postcard, depicts Captain Jack Elliot, Queen of the Rockies, at around the age of 64 holding her British Bull Dog double-action .44 calibre revolver.

Undressed woman was observed standing on ledge outside kitchen window of HDB building in Yishun before she jumped to her death.

Undressed woman was observed standing on ledge outside kitchen window of HDB building in Yishun before she jumped to her death. The Ministry of Manpower (MOM) has since issued a statement and rejected the claims, saying that the woman was not a domestic worker, in response to several social media posts that claimed the woman was a Filipino maid. On Thursday, October 12, the unfortunate occurrence took place in a HDB estate in Yishun. Social media users widely disseminated images and video of the incident. The images showed a woman standing on the ledge outside her kitchen window without any clothing on and holding onto the clothes drying rack before she collapsed. The woman was taken to the hospital unconscious and ultimately died from her injuries, according to the police, who said that they received a cry for help from Block 874 Yishun Street 81 around 7.20 am. Police investigations into the incident are presently taking place, and based on their preliminary investigation

My Shocking Experience With Patient In A Hospital

My Shocking Experience With Patient In A Hospital I once cared for a middle-aged patient who presented to emergency with a dildo-related very embarrassing situation. He purchased the toy for one of his sexcapades. Curiosity hit. And he shoved the damn thing in his pooper, high-high up! “Me first” attitude didn’t do him much good. Funny feelings subsided fairly quickly and the horror struck when he couldn’t get it out. His drainage was jammed, the toy was slipping further up and after about 24 hours of wishfully waiting for it to naturally pass, it hurt bad enough to seek medical help. The official party line, that he vehemently iterated, was I just fell onto it, how else do you think it got up there! Needless to say, emergency surgery was necessary and he landed in the ICU with sepsis related post-op complications. It took him loooong before being able to use the toilet normally! Google ** NOT the patient’s X-ray, but it looked similar** Though I have seen some really absurd stuff in

Ana Mendieta, Untitled (Rape Scene), 1973

Ana Mendieta, Untitled (Rape Scene), 1973 "Untitled (Rape Scene) is the documentation of an action that the artist performed in her apartment in Iowa City, while she was a student at the University of Iowa on the innovative Intermedia art course run by the German artist Hans Breder (born 1935). It was created in response to a brutal and highly publicised rape and murder of a nursing student, Sara Ann Otten, by another student in March 1973. The following month Mendieta invited her fellow students to her apartment where, through a door left purposefully ajar, they found her in the position recorded in this photograph, which recreated the scene as reported in the press. Some time later, Mendieta recalled that her audience ‘all sat down, and started talking about it. I didn’t move. I stayed in position about an hour. It really jolted them.’ (Quoted in Ana Mendieta, p.127, note 11.) In 1980, she commented that the rape had ‘moved and frightened’ her, elaborating: ‘I think all my wo

When we got to that house, we were told that we were there for the sexual pleasure of the Japanese military

When we got to that house, we were told that we were there for the sexual pleasure of the Japanese military ... We immediately started to protest. We said we were forced to, that they couldn't do this to us, they didn't have the right to Doing it, it was against the Geneva Convention, and we never would. But they laughed at us, you know, they just laughed. They said they could do with us what they wanted. " One of the most heinous war crimes committed by the Japanese Imperial Army in Southeast Asia during World War II was the ruthless sexual exploitation of 200,000 Asian women (Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Filipino, Korean and even Japanese) and 200 -300 Dutch and 30 Australian women. During the war the imperial army, worried about the spread of venereal diseases, decided to open a chain of brothels in all the conquered territories in order to avoid this problem (this was an example of what had happened in India in the nineteenth century where the he Bri

Making Sense of a Rape Photograph: Se.xual Violence as Social Performance on the Eastern Front, 1939-1944

Making Sense of a Rape Photograph: Se.xual Violence as Social Performance on the Eastern Front, 1939-1944 This article begins with a disturbing image that has a no-less unsettling provenance. It shows a group of fifteen young German soldiers standing in a semicircle, carousing and laughing as one of their comrades emulates a sex act with an unidentified woman who may or may not be dead. The laughter of his comrades suggests approval for the actions of the man on the ground. Although it is not clear if the photograph depicts an act of actual rape, its aftermath, or mere mimicry, what is certain is that the depicted scene ascribes the woman only one function: she is an object of amusement that mediates coercion and asymmetric power relations It is very possible that this picture was taken before or after the soldiers raped the woman. However, irrespective of whether any penetration actually occurred, the men imitated a rape scene showcasing the woman’s body as a sexualized object of

Catherine the Great, Empress of Russia was so infamous for her sexual freedom

Catherine the Great, Empress of Russia was so infamous for her sexual freedom Catherine the Great, Empress of Russia was so infamous for her sexual freedom that when she died from a stroke at the age of 67, there was even a rumour claiming she actually died while copulating with a horse. We learned about Catherine the Great how she modernised Russia, enlarged her empire, protected the Orthodox Christianity, pioneered public vaccination, women’s education, assassinated her husband, enlisted Voltaire to her cause and presided over the age of the Russian Enlightenment. Her kinky side, however, was rudely omitted from her official biography. The flamboyant and powerful empress, Russia’s longest-ruling female leader, had 22 male lovers throughout her life, many of them significantly younger than her. But aside from her extra-marital affairs and multiple illicit relationships with Russian royalty, Catherine also had a habit of collecting sexually-charged furniture and even kept an erotic
