I cannot tell you how many inappropriate fantasies I have about Renner. That man is ridiculously good looking. Pretty much many of the Avengers cast I'd have some fun with (Renner, Hemsworth, Hiddleston). Renner also likes dogs. This makes me wildly happy.

Huh. I don't know how to answer this one.

See, you and I seem to be the same. Uncanny!

Oh yeah, I definitely had a similar environment. I just didn't talk to people, and was good at school. So a shy girl terrified by guys and trying to meet girls who seemed to hate me (I was socially awkward, and still am in some ways), I was an easy target for names, abuse, bullying and ostracism.

Wow, were you me in middle school? I literally had the same thing, plus a rumor that I was a lesbian (in my MS that was the worst thing to be called) go through my school. This plus my crazy awful periods, and previous attempted rape by a church member did me in. I was a depressed, anxious mess. I am in a low point…

Well, I am roughly the same age, so... I guess I can be okay if I want to jump him. :)

Yeah, I don't watch much of Missy Eliot videos, but I do remember that one. I think in some ways the 90s were fantastic, but there were some problems too (I am very young as I was born during the 90s, but in no way will I judge!)!

I noticed the same thing! I saw that and was happy and then angry (Hangry??? Yep, that is my new word, Hangry). How is this in any was difficult to do? Janelle Monae just did it, and for some reason 99% of pop/rap/rock/ R&B/music can't do this? She did, without even trying. I just can't even.

Heck yes. I will need to take my Buffy collection, and maybe some sort of Netflix like movie streamer. 'Cause Buffy!

Bahaha! Bravo!

I'm just saying, I think we could be buddies. This is how I feel all the time. Also born in 1990, and I cry when I see this as the standard behavior of our cohort.

I will also add:

I'm going with Ian Somerhalder, because he is a cutie, and would probably know this is lame!

Yeah, I can agree with you on that one. But when one of the schools has a "joke" about a certain fraternity being a breeding ground for sexual assaults, then you know CO has some issues. I think that it is in some ways getting better, as a lot of the Rape Awareness and LGBTQIA groups are gaining ground at the school,…

I second this sentiment. I'd also love if they could wrangle in Jeremy Renner. Just. For things. And wearing a lot less things.

Hi shadowmoon!

Well, thanks for replying. Nice to know there are some super supportive Jezzies around!

Yeah it is a huge vicious cycle. Certain people are abused by law enforcement, so they react with fear, anxiety and stress. This causes people to fear law enforcement, which means they hide and mistrust law enforcement. then the things they have done to protect themselves are used as reasons to abuse and stigmatize.

Unfortunately, my classmates would wax about how the police had to do this for some reason. I would probably hear "well, she must have done something to cause this," or, "I wonder what she did to make the officers react in that way, it looks like she was being aggressive/loud/disrespectful."

This is how my classmates (in a forensic psychology program, dealing with POC's who may have been abused by cops, or see them in that way) feel. This is how they act and we have several people who have worked in law enforcement in the program and they say the same thing "if they are nervous, they have something to…
