Rape is a crime, and any student is within her/his legal right to report a crime to the police and pursue justice that way.

As the palest white person ever, I understand where this ebullience is coming from.

I might get pilloried myself for saying this, but I keep mixing him up with the Bolton bastard. I can't tell their faces apart unless I have their pictures side by side. I think it's the hair that keeps throwing me off.

Gaaaaaah. (Not directed at you, directed at J and anyone who thinks that kind of nonsense is appropriate past the age of 25.)

I second the volunteering suggestion. It really will make you feel less depressed the more often you do it. And, on the less altruistic side, it adds something to your resume. Let's say life sucks for a bit and you stay unemployed for a year. (I know I know I know, and fingers crossed it won't happen, but let's say.)…

You're wonderful. The #1 most important thing right now is that she knows she has your continued love and support, and you've given her that already.

That suuuuuuuuucks. I'm so sorry.

People hate the uniform (and what it represents). If you encounter that level of hate, try to find a way to remind yourself that people don't hate Pilot to Gunner, they hate the police as a monolith.

YES, seriously. When did this happen?

I HATE THAT. That is all I have to say.

Aw, that is awkward. Have you ever tried getting together with just your boyfriend and one of his male friends for brunch or something? It might make a difference if you take the time to socialize with them more on your terms - sober and in small groups - so that they can get to know you as a person. Then when you…

Sympathy, I have so much sympathy. What an uncomfortable situation to find yourself in, and it sounds like you've finally gotten yourself out of that hellhole and now you're being dragged back in. That's awful.

God, that sucks so much. I'm so sorry you're going through that. I want to give you all the hugs (or all the hugs that you want, and no more than that).

I absolutely, without a doubt, would have started spiking my sandwiches with durian and ghost peppers.

I LOLed. Well played. Well fucking played.

A lot of people are baaaaaaaad at writing profiles. It's possible to focus on a whole bunch of non-essential stuff about yourself (what you typically do on a Friday night/over the weekend, what kind of music you like, how you like to have fun sometimes but also be chill, that you love your niece/brother/dog more than…
