In this Torah portion, in Honor of Miriam the Prophetess

Miriam: Tambourines of Rebellion

The other meaning of Miriam’s name is “rebellion” (from the root meri).

According to the Midrash, Miriam was called Puah due to another episode. “She revealed her face brazenly (from the root hofiya) against Pharaoh pronouncing, ‘Woe to this man, when G-d avenges him!’

Miriam valiantly stood up to the mightiest ruler on earth, audaciously rebuking him for his cruelty to her people. This was Miriam, the mother of rebellion. Rebelling against the status quo, fighting against apathy and cruelty.

This was the strength of Miriam. A feminine strength born out from bitterness; a faith sewed amidst despair. This was the strength of the women who left Egypt, equipped with tambourines and dances of joy and faith. And this is the strength of all women.

Bring it on SFWA & Writer Beware . . . Miriam Silverstein has spoken!

Author Victoria Strauss; Garnering the Brain Dead & The Under Informed

You have to go here first, (click the link) READ THIS:

Cleo Voght! Who Are you? . . . Victoria Strauss Must be Drinking Kool-Aid

Then read the comments (below); note also who the entries are from. For example, Steven Gould, Richard White, MacAllister Stone, Michael Capobianco (the dying Ann “A.C.” Crispin’s Husband), Randy Dotinga, Rachael Saltzman, Brett T. Mazzoni ( a real loser), Jenna Glatzer (LOL! Jenna Glatzer . . . how dare you even mention Internet harassment!), and the Queen of the Cease & Desist Orders . . . P.n. Elrod. The best thing is that we didn’t write the post that Victoria Strauss is referring to. Victoria, Ann, Randy, Richard,  MacAllister, and Glazer . . .  we’ll just continue to keep our comments here. Have some more Kool-Aid.

They just can’t ignore The Write Agenda and when there’s nothing going on . . .  they just make up stuff.

  Victoria Strauss The Matawan library emailer has a beef with me and a number of others–she likes leaving anonymous comments on our blogs, and possibly thinks that not doing it on her home computer keeps her anonymous. She doesn’t seem to realize that she should go farther than her local library.

  Stephanie Sekellick Kelsey My local library requires registration to use their internet, and you have to use your library card number, which you can only get by showing a driver’s license. A phone call to the library reporting misuse of their system would end that tyranny fairly quickly, I imagine.

  Victoria Strauss Yes, we think a scammer that Writer Beware has exposed/warned about is behind the website from which this email probably originated. It’s all anonymous, but they do drop clues here and there. They’ve been attempting to wage a smear campaign against me and anti-literary scam activists for more than two years now.

UPDATED 05/09/13 – Protected: The “Victoria Strauss” Files . . . Yes, Here We Go! Hey TWA Members . . . This is pretty wicked … excellent job on the videos! WOW. The audio was perfect. Thank you! We love the Randy Dotinga audio! OMG! Can you say BUSTED????

Hey TWA Members . . . this is pretty wicked … excellent job on the videos! WOW. The audio was perfect. LG <<HUGS>>

Timing will be of the essence . . . Strauss & Dotinga made the case. Dotinga . . .  OMG what a dumb ass! ROTFL . . . We’ll post this at the right time. ((This was really  . . . REALLY . . .  good work!!!)

TWA12009878: “When will Strauss ever learn that she is a meaningless SOB?  This is awesome stuff! Perfect timing TWA. You guys rock! “

TWA13409998: TWA are you serious? LOL! You guys are awesome. Scalzi is a butt fuck! I’m cancelling my SFWA membership.I knew that there was more to this. Who the hell elects a President on less than 50% of the total membership?

TWA268409998: Lizzy! Are you serious? Well done! Miriam . . . this was an awesome job done by your crew. Was that really Strauss babbling? That was the best.

TWA2684882958: I’ll keep this short. TWA gets it. The SFWA is fucked up! 

TWA71433382: Why is Dotinga kissing Victoria Strauss’ ass? What’s in for him? You guys are really on something here. I had doubts but you’ve illustrated the voting patterns of the SFWA; these are very strange incidents. These are some really self-serving bitches here. TWA . . .  you nailed it. 

TWA71891275538: TWA, you warned Strauss about “karma,” . . . I’m a believer! So much irony. Crispin is dying, she previously sprained her ankle and Strauss raised the issue about karma? Oooo. . . Stauss . . . well  . . . let’s just watch. Thank you TWA!

TWA72891227538: Miriam, as you know, I’m a SFWA Member. I do appreciate the time that we spent together in NYC. This is very alarming. Shocking may be a better word.  TWA13409998 may have it right. Electing a president of an organization on less that 50% of the membership vote is a problem. So, Gould posts a “platform” and doesn’t campaign and gets elected? There’s issues here. Serious issues. TWA, keep up the good work! The new buzz word with these self-serving “weinerdogs” is “wing nuts.” Be proud. The fact that they acknowledge you proves that you are a force . . . otherwise  they would ignore you; they don’t.

TWA6145122333614: LOL, TWA you obviously struck a nerve. It’s so interesting that Victoria Strauss, Ann Crispin and Writer Beware have never commented on the Charles Petit case. He was their attorney and it was a publishing scam. I will not be renewing my SFWA membership. Thank you for sharing this.

If you are a member . . . click below. LOL Enjoy!
