- Suspended, Not Silencedby JonathonThere’s something undeniably powerful about watching someone working through the stages of suspension. We all build up ideas about ourselves—what we’re allowed to feel, how much we’re allowed to express, when it’s okay to break. For some, suspension is not about pushing physical limits its… Read more: Suspended, Not Silenced
- A Nightbird’s Passageby JonathonSome stories take their time, unfolding over decades, through life’s long detours and diversions. But dreams never rest until they’re fully realized. Even after 15 years, Robb knew there was still a suspension experience waiting for him. Something left unfinished, something essential. At the Ontario… Read more: A Nightbird’s Passage
- What Lifts the Body, Shifts the Soulby JonathonFirst suspensions are rarely just about the body—they’re a meeting point between the physical and the deeply personal.

I’ve had a… Read more: What Lifts the Body, Shifts the Soul
- Skin and Strings: The Art of Human Puppetryby JonathonOne of the most powerful things about being at a convention like OSC is the sheer concentration of experience, creativity, and capability in one place.

Thats pretty sweet man, props to that. I’m thinking of getting the flag somewhere on me, but i like your idea of educating people on how many people actually died during that crisis. Props to educating people, the more that know the better.

My grandmother has told me of all of the men and boys in her family and how they were taken away never to be seen alive again.
It is so important that people become aware of what happened to the armenian people.
Hitler himself had been quoted as saying, “If no one noticed all of the Armenians that went missing, no one will notice the Jews.”
Thank you.

This is fantastic!
Nine comments on this post only? I’m shocked. More people need to be educated about the Armenian Genocide. One and a half million Armenians were deliberately sought out and systematically exterminated by massacre and deportation by the Turkish Ottoman Empire and that’s something that should NOT go unspoken.
As people we should acknowledge the destruction of the Armenian population, as should all governments in the world.
It’s time for the Armenian Genocide of 1915 to be officially acknowledged. This cannot be denied any longer.
