get a box. knowing this now and watching him in that film?

You got here first, with the best. All the stars for him.

I see survivors, some like her, regularly as a hospital/crisis advocate. If you want to help others like her, in her honor and as a way of doing more than just being out-raged. USE YOUR ANGER TO FUEL YOUR ACTIONS. Every city/town/state has some kind of rape crisis services, trying to help all survivors on little $$.…

From Prescott Arizona we drove to Arcosanti, in the late 70s. Nothing I’d ever seen came anywhere near it and nothing I’ve seen since even touches it. I remember walking and staring and looking up and thinking that this was sf in actual time/material, come to reality. My friend was living in Phoenix and driving over…

Aye - people who call your words/life ‘cheesy are jerks. You are the opposite - worthwhile and solid. A farm and love? And you and their Dad? they _are_ rich.

“(I) will think twice before posting things like that in future.” Think twice, then twice more - and specifically think about the things you learned by reading the Voice article. And think again and again about acorn and her/his reality.

Don’t apologize - not one bit. Call him out. Call anyone who defends him out. Do not expend one drop of energy worrying about being strident. Strident is what they call us when we are making them uncomfortable. Good. They damn well should be ‘uncomfortable’ and more. Be judicious, yes. Talk smack and talk _smart_. Put…

Jesse (and anyone else wondering about this). I work w/beaten women. I am _very sure_ that her injuries looked hideous several hours later or the next day: blue, purple. red and yellow - heavily swollen and distended

This movie may be fine - great acting by 2 talented people. But I’m not watching it. I’m _fed up_ with films/books/tv about women and children enduring the obscene and celebrating their endurance of the unendurable, even if that celebration is due and right.

Do NOT say “they’re in a better place” until you know for absolutly certain that the grieving person believes and holds to that belief. Even if _they_ have said this very thing before. Because suddenly they may not see it that way anymore.

all the stars for the tapeworm. And yes I am stealing this.

What can we do to help her? Seriously - ask her and share here. I’m not too far away - in SC., know lots of people who live in-near Asheville. I was visiting there about a month ago. No exageration, the hospital assault should be investigated as criminal sexual assault: he raped a person _hospitalized_ and medicated…

“Or possibly because the characterization of these kinds of minor cultural differences as “creepy” is the kind of condescending white western histrionics...”

More stars in the skies for you. I’m stealing this and using it.

Lamb is dead. News @ 1 am that he died of a self-inflicted gunshot. No doubt, more details will be present by morning. The woman he was living with and another man are both dead.

And Jael said to him, “Go, boast before your father in hell and tell him that you have fallen into the hands of a woman.”^[3]

Well stated and correct - except that this does not match the reality facing survivors. Prosecutors decide about cases to pursue and choose _not_ to pursue some. “It wouldn’t diminish the fault of an assaulter if a drinking woman were assaulted and there would be no reason ascribe moral or legal fault to the…

I run a kitchen at a coffeehouse - great coffee, smashing desserts, no alcohol, specialty sodas/beverages. Talent one night is greatwomanwhoshallremainnameless w/a band she put together for the tour - hipster fellas from Brooklyn/NY/the Shore. Very much over being around us (we’re not coolkids). She was terrific. They…

This face.

Another grammar nerd/bitch here - for good reason: difference.
