<description><![CDATA[Obsessed twitter, blogger Graham Murphy is still at writing an entire blog dedicated to little ole m]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Obsessed twitter, blogger Graham Murphy is still at writing an entire blog dedicated to little ole me. At first I was mad, because the accusations he was making were blatant untruths. Now it&#8217;s funny because if u read it you&#8217;ll find he can&#8217;t even get his lies straight. Here&#8217;s a list of his most outrageous, incoherent accusations to date</p>
<p>1) <a href="http://twitterdicks.com/Psychos/index.html">&#8220;The BLOG is dedicated to exposing the truth about Theresa Fowler, AKA: @THEE_STUPID</a></p>
<p>My name is Theresa Powell, not Fowler. this man is so deranged he can&#8217;t even keep his victims names straight.</p>
<p>2) <a href="http://twitterdicks.com/Psychos/PowellBlog/files/c6c9ce6f5e9e0501f4a8043c824470d8-4.html">Theresa Powell, AKA @Thee_Stupid on Twitter, claims that she needed to blog about someone because they won’t go away, but in the same tweet says they are now ”suspended.” How does someone fit so many lies in one tweet? </a></p>
<p>Ok this time getting my name right, but he accuses me of lying and uses a a screenshot of a suspended acct as &#8220;proof&#8221; I&#8217;m lying.The screenshot was of his suspended account and I did blog about &#8220;that person&#8221; Graham Murphy here? So where is the lie?</p>
<p>3) <a href="http://twitterdicks.com/Psychos/PowellBlog/files/f3e3c9d04b56723e5ca8af04bb2bcf3d-5.html" target="_blank">@Thee_Stupid: Zimmerman Supporter &#8220;She is even trying to start up an organization to fight racially motivated crimes. (She will never succeed in this endeavor because nobody wants to work with such an angry, bitter, unhinged person.)&#8221;</a></p>
<p>False, I am part of a large active community online  #TeamTrayvon as evidence by this 1 of many Trayvon Martin supporters: <a href="http://twitter.com/RIPTrayvonMarti/status/217668451903352833" target="_blank"><s>@</s><strong>thee_stupid</strong> Thanks for following and supporting ‪<s>#</s><strong>TeamTrayvon</strong> <s>@</s><strong>thee_stupid</strong>-1:19 PM &#8211; 26 Jun 12 via Twitter for iPhone · Details</a>, as well as local groups. The evidence Graham Murphy uses to make it appear I have abandoned my efforts for justice for Trayvon Martin are Photoshopped screenshots with statements I never made. If any of it were true he&#8217;d be able to publish the url of the tweet, he can&#8217;t becuz it doesn&#8217;t exist.</p>
<p>3)<a href="http://twitterdicks.com/Psychos/PowellBlog/files/bb88a7070ab650c5e893762a83ab675c-6.html" target="_blank">More LGBT Hate :Apparently hate knows no bounds with Theresa Powell, on Twitter known as @Thee_Stupid. She will tweet out seemingly supportive statements about the LGBT community, but hiding behind anonymous emails, she likes to send out what she deems as disgusting pictures and physical threats. I received a new folder in my DropBox account with more disgusting behavior by Stupid and after going to her timeline, I find that yet another blog entry is necessary.</a></p>
<p>This accusation is not only an outright lie, if you read the link, there isn&#8217;t any 1 statement from me.It&#8217;s just Graham Murphy accusing me of pretending to be other people, with not 1 iota of proof that I am.  It&#8217;s just a bunch of tweets from people Graham Murphy claims with no proof I associate with and a picture of man with breasts addressed from someone I don&#8217;t even know? He&#8217;s even given up trying to make it appear I am the person sending out this garbage.</p>
<p>And if you look at the other people he attacks, they are all women. This isn&#8217;t the work of a bullied transgender male, it&#8217;s the work of a misogynist who thinks he&#8217;s so smart, people can&#8217;t see through his sloppy photoshop work.</p>
<p>Update: While the accusations linkd have been apparently taken down, I still think there is merit to illustrating what cyberbullies do and this one in particular. For independent confirmation of this person&#8217;s activities visit:</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>UPDATED: Graham Murphy/Sandy Dolan/ @GendrQueer whatever his name is has moved his smear site yet again.  <a href="http://twitterdicks.com/Psychos/PowellBlog/files/c6c9ce6f5e9e0501f4a8043c824470d8-4.html" rel="nofollow">http://twitterdicks.com/Psychos/PowellBlog/files/c6c9ce6f5e9e0501f4a8043c824470d8-4.html</a></p>
<p>If you read the page, it&#8217;s incoherent. He attributes things to me with other people&#8217;s name attached to them, but if you just read his commentary you&#8217;d believe I was head of an Anti LGBT Hate Group! I am just the latest of several women he attacks with total fabrications. But the real problem is he is a hacker who breaks into computers and destroys them.</p>
<p>This is a hard post for me to write. Generally when I was a disagree with someone online I stop following or block and move on. I have an offline life so it&#8217;s not that serious to me</p>
<p>However I am also passionate about certain causes, especially social justice, politics. criminal injustices and civil rights. So I devote my spare time to engaging with others working to that end.</p>
<p>Unfortunately I became involved with a tweeter, named Graham Murphy who endeared himself to me when the Trayvon Martin story broke.  He tweeted me saying &#8220;because my tweets moved him he was going to make a site in Trayvon&#8217;s honor&#8221; and asked me to assist him it. I was very touched and began emailing with him.</p>
<p>Immediately I was inundated with warning from other Tweeters who told me this man (at the time name azliberial) was a dangerous, psychotic transgender person with hacking skills. I was warned he had hacked several people&#8217;s computers, regularly posted hate sites against his &#8220;enemies&#8221; and went as far as tracking people down, trying to get them fired or their children taken away.   His avi at the time was  a graphic of sunshine , so I never asked him/her about their sexual orientation, since it had nothing to do with what we were doing.  I ignored, even defended him against his naysayers at the time because all I knew of was the great work he was doing with Trayvon Martin&#8217;s, ALEC &#38; Anti-Rush Sites.</p>
<p>But when the warning kept coming with evidence I finally did inquire with Murph as to whether any of the accusations were true, (ie had he hacked people, made hate web sites, tracked down people calling their jobs trying to get them fired and calling children&#8217;s services to try to get people&#8217;s children taken away,etc) I even joked with him that if he was a real hacker  I could use his services because I had a wayward son I really was concerned about.</p>
<p>He responded, that all the people warning me were really 1 person &#8220;his stalker&#8221; &#38; all accusations  but one about a reality star on Big Brother, Shelley Moore, were untrue. He admitted he had participated in a hate group about her, &#8220;after seeing the error of his ways&#8221; he wrote an apology and left it. He painted everyone else in the group as the real hackers and stalkers, etc. Since I don&#8217;t watch reality TV I didn&#8217;t care.</p>
<p>Then something strange happened. I began making friends with certain tweeters, &#38; Graham would insist that I stop speaking with them, because they were his &#8220;stalker in disguise&#8221;.  Also he advertises as a website designer and I inquired about some site ideas I had. He told me he would do one for free, I insisted on paying him, but in the end, he came up with a story that he had been diagnosed w a brain tumor and couldn&#8217;t do it. I felt so bad, I told him don&#8217;t worry,   Two days later, he wrote back it turned out to only be a cyst and now he could do it.</p>
<p>I immediately recognized that as bs. You can&#8217;t be diagnosed 1st with a brain tumor then it magically turns into a cyst. But I didn&#8217;t confront him, just told him get better, I&#8217;d find another way. Soon after he was kicked off Twitter claiming it was &#8220;big businesses&#8221; that had pressured Twitter to kick him off, even though several others were tweeting against ALEC corps, somehow he was singled out!.Knew that was BS too, but didn&#8217;t say anything.  He came back as LGBTliberal &#38; a bio that said he/she was the &#8220;T&#8221; in LGBT. Having deep respect for a person&#8217;s privacy I didn&#8217;t ask at first what that meant. The Trayvon site was gone, but I still helped him with the ALEC &#38; STOPRUSH sites, because those were causes I believed in, even though the psychopath mask was becoming evident, I still didn&#8217;t think I had anything to fear  He said he didn&#8217;t want to be apart of the Trayvon Martin movement anymore because he had problems with the lawyers over his tribute site. I told him I was going forward with my plans to hold a meeting about all the cases, including Anna Brown, Marissa Alexander, etc. He told me it was a waste of time, he also continued to complain about me talking to his &#8220;enemies&#8221;.</p>
<p>Funny things started happening to my computer right before that meeting, and people I work with began accusing me of having let a hacker infiltrate our system. I brushed  it off, but was banished right before the meeting from using company software. My &#8220;Constructing an Org to Address  Racially Biased Killings and Prosecutions&#8221; had to be switched at the last minute to a new online meeting site. I sent out invitations &#38; soon after cancellation invitation went out. I did this several times, then figured it must be the site. NOPE I HAD BEEN HACKED WITH A TROJAN/KEY-LOGGER  THAT WAS ACCESSING MY COMPUTER, DOING THIS.</p>
<p>I didn&#8217;t know that for sure until the next week when Graham Murphy, now furious with me over disagreeing with him about Cory Booker, befriending his enemies, etc,  Tweeted out a screenshot from a networked computer purporting to me my login and email address but was really a co-worker&#8217;s. He also infiltrated  emails belonging to me &#38; others, deleting&#38; posting things from different accts. We exchanged nasty emails, which of course he denied being the one, but he forgot he told me he had done this to his &#8220;stalker&#8221; already.</p>
<p>Once the computers were unnetworked and cleaned &#38; he couldn&#8217;t access them anymore, he began to blog about me <a href="http://www.americahatesbullies.com/blog/files/5268332deac3cda219a6d32af1c63d1d-23.html">here </a>, except some of the content included other people&#8217;s information and out right lies. I was going to ignore it, but it effects other people, plus since I didn&#8217;t exchange hard drives like my co workers, he has hacked me again!! He also started a group called &#8220;#Grahams Gang&#8221; on Twitter this weekend, encouraging people to unfollow me because I am anti_LGBT (apparently if you don&#8217;t like Graham, you hate all LGBT), with multiple accts all coming from his IP address, which were shut down within hours.</p>
<p>Are u ready to bang your head against a wall? I am! I have most emails/correspondence backed up on USB &#38; was going to post them here to negate what&#8217;s on his phony &#8220;America hates bullies&#8221; site, but 1) I don&#8217;t feel like it, in fact I will be hospitalized this week, part of the reason I wanted to defend myself to some degree here, 2) Any1 who reads my twitter feed will know what he has on that site under Tess, (Theresa Powell) is fake or should know it. If anyone wants me to address a specific accusation just leave it in the comments and I&#8217;ll pull up the documentation.</p>
<p>The Number 1 lie he posted on &#8220;America hates Bullies&#8221; is that I spammed him with invites to the &#8220;Trayvon Constructing an Org&#8230;.&#8221; Meeting. The reality is Graham Murphy was the person who hacked the acct cancelled the meetings, causing me to resend invites, then he turns around and says I was spamming. It looks real, but the only reason I kept rescheduling was because I didn&#8217;t know he was the one inside my computer doing the cancelling. This is what psychopaths do. Play innocent sweet victim, reel you in, then try to control u. If control fails, they can&#8217;t just walk away, they have to try to destroy you. Lie #2, He accuses me of knowing his gender. His bio said I&#8217;m the &#8220;T&#8221; in LGBT, I did not see the picture he lies was clearly posted on his site, because the Trayvon site didn&#8217;t have his pic on it. After we argued he sent me unsolicited pics of him as a white woman and a black man via email? How the hell am I suppose to figure out which side of the T he was on?</p>
<p>Now yesterday he was DEMHARD2012 &#38; a bunch of other acct dubbed #grahams gang that got suspended. Who knows who he is today? Just be warned.</p>
<p>I will not be destroyed nor I will not keep it to myself.  I have worked professional as an advocate, I am in training to become a disability rights advocate, if ADA survives the election and truly despise being painted as anti-LGBT. When I get out of the hospital and get a new computer (Yes Graham, I know u still keylog this one) I will move forward with the Org aimed at Racially Motivated Killings &#38; Prosecutions, supporting Obama 2012 and marriage equality as I always have.</p>

<p>It isn&#8217;t my site but I co sign and will help spread this message, because this guy is dangerous, you can&#8217;t disagree with him w/o incurring his wrath.</p>
<p>Hope everyone has a wonderful day and except for specific questions I&#8217;m done with Graham Murphy and any of his trolls!</p>
<p>Now leave this garbage in the trash. Real work needs to be done!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color:#808080;"><strong>[Published in <span style="color:#333333;"><a title="Infinity" href="http://www.beat.com.au/arts/infinity"><span style="color:#333333;">Beat</span></a></span>, Issue , February 22 2012]</strong></span></p>
<p><a href="http://rebeccaharkinscross.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/infinity-482x298-482x298.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-476" title="Infinity" src="http://rebeccaharkinscross.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/infinity-482x298-482x298.jpg?w=300&#038;h=185" alt="" width="300" height="185" /></a><strong>With a lineage stretching back nearly 400 years, ballet is hardly renowned for its avant-gardism. Since its advent in the Italian Renaissance, this form of dance has retained much classicism up until the present day, an air of the esoteric clinging like soil to its aristocratic roots. But on the anniversary of their 50<sup>th</sup> year, the Australian Ballet are set to challenge such perceptions with <em>Infinity</em>, a series of three new works focused squarely on the artform’s future.</strong></p>
<p>Bringing together some of Australia’s most esteemed choreographers — Graham Murphy (formerly of the Sydney Dance Company), Gideon Obarzanek (formerly of Chunky Move) and Stephen Page of Bangarra Dance Theatre — these innovators will no doubt push ballet’s parameters. The only theme that unites <em>Infinity’s</em> parts is that they are new works, all of which question the way we define ballet in the 21<sup>st</sup> century.</p>
<p>It is only fitting that Graham Murphy would return to the Australian Ballet for its jubilee celebrations — he began his career as a dancer with the company in 1968, going on to become one of Australia’s most stalwart choreographers. In contrast to the narrative-driven works that he has created of late, Murphy’s contribution The Narrative of Nothing is as abstract as its title would suggest. Using minimalistic sets and costumes, Murphy has discarded the opulence and pomp of classical ballet to emphasise its gestural essence.</p>
<p>“It’s really about the body and the movement, and I guess when that happens you’re so exposed,” says Brooke Lockett, one of the dancers performing in Murphy’s piece. “Costumes and sets and all that kind of lavish stuff can hide a lot, but when that’s all stripped away you really do just see the movement”.</p>
<p>These movements will be set to a score by acclaimed composer Brett Dean (who most recently composed the operatic adaptation of Peter Carey’s <em>Bliss</em>). Co-commissioned by The Australian Ballet, the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic and the BBC Symphony Orchestra, Dean’s ‘Fire Music’ is dedicated to the victims of Black Saturday. As part of his research, he conducted interviews with a fire scientist from the CSIRO, structuring his composition around the motions and propulsion of fire.</p>
<p>Lockett has worked with Murphy several times in the past, but has found The Narrative of Nothing to be an entirely different experience. “At this point in my career, this is the most definite input as an artist that I’ve been able to have,” explains Lockett. “You have a voice and you feel valued, and every day every individual is growing in the piece in some way… We’re making something really special together and each day it just gets better and better”.</p>
<p>This sentiment is echoed by Benjamin Stuart-Carberry, who will be dancing in Gideon Obarzanek’s There’s Definitely A Prince Involved. Having only been with the Australian Ballet since 2010, Stuart-Carberry has also found it challenging to adapt to Orbarzanek’s choreographic style. “He works very differently to a lot of people who come in and make work on us,” says Stuart-Carberry. “[Gideon] might have some idea, but he’ll really just go with the flow and take a lot from the dancers, whereas a lot of other people will come in with a kind of staid movement vocabulary that they want to put across”.</p>
<p>It has been over 20 years since Obarzanek made a ballet production, his most recent position as Artistic Director of contemporary dance company Chunky Move. (Obarzanek stepped down from the role in 2011.) In preparation for the piece, he asked friends and colleagues what they knew about ballet, which, to his surprise, was not a lot. Most referred to <em>Swan Lake</em>, but Orbarzanek found that each persons’ recollection of the story was vastly different.</p>
<p>“They came up with the themes of love and evil and good kind of thing, so I think he’s taken that and reflected it into our personal lives,” explains Stuart-Carberry. “You often search for this idealised, balletic Hollywood movie moments and experiences, but in real life its much more messy and tangled. I think people are remembering the story of <em>Swan Lake</em> as a bit more real”.</p>
<p>Revising ballet’s traditional narratives is also central to Stephen Page’s Warumuk — in the dark night. Page utilises this European artform to tell an Indigenous story, exploring Aboriginal astronomy and the creation myths that are said to be reflected in the constellations. The piece is based on conversations Page had with Yolngu families last year in Yirrkala, an Aboriginal township North East Arnhem Land.</p>
<p>Dancer Jacob Sofer has found the most difficult task is adapting to Bangarra’s style of movement — a world apart from the pirouettes and pliés of ballet. “It’s a whole new way of moving,” he explains. “It’s very grounded. There’s a lot of squatting on your knees. It’s barefoot which we just don’t do a lot. But it’s a lot of fun.</p>
<p>“We did a few steps the other day that were kind of breakdance, on your shoulder/on your face handstands, that sort of thing. It was a little interesting to see the ballet boys trying to work those out!”</p>
<p>With <em>Infinity’s</em> three works being rehearsed separately, the dancers are anticipating opening night as much as the audience. “We’re like this little family and you’re always such a big part of everything together, but on dress rehearsal and opening night it really will be like going out to watch your friends do a show that you know nothing about,” says Lockett. “I think there’ll be a really lovely, supportive feel”.<strong><em></em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em>Infinity</em> will be performed at <a href="http://www.theartscentre.com.au/" target="_blank">The Arts Centre</a> from Friday February 24 ­– Tuesday March 6. For bookings or further information, visit <a href="http://www.australianballet.com.au./" target="_blank">australianballet.com.au.</a></strong></p>
