My husband has several Facebook friends who aren't fans of the Occupy movement. So when I told him I'd created a photo blog, Otherwise Occupied (http://otherwise-occupied.tumblr.com/), as a way for people to show their support for the occupiers, he thought of those naysayers and suggested I try to win them over.

A beater—a gray Ford Fiesta, I think, with a chipped hood--turned onto Penn Street. As it rattled by, the passenger--a woman--yelled, "Get a job!"

Lady: that's why we were there, about 100 of us, outside the Wells Fargo Building on the corner of Sixth and Penn. http://readingeagle.com/...

Wells Fargo drew its blinds, but the truth was right outside: Reading is now the poorest city in the nation, with 41 percent of its residents living below the poverty line. http://www.nytimes.com/...

I cannot be at Liberty Square. I have a child to care for and, thankfully, a job. But this diary is a message from me to Occupy Wall Street:

Thank you.

Thank you for standing for me, my family, and my city, which recently earned the distinction of having the largest share of its residents living in poverty.

Thank you for loving us, believing in us, and fighting for us.

I do not speak for Occupy Wall Street. But they speak for me.
