Hi all,

There are reports that another ethics investigation may be opened against Nunes:

Oh, Phoebe. I’m so sorry. <3 <3 <3

I haven’t been posting much. I’ve been in a weird head space so I haven’t had much to say. My boy’s cancer has decided that it doesn’t want to play nice or mind its own business so it’s been a tough couple of weeks. He’s handling it all pretty well and I’m proud of that but also heartbroken & angry for him. Imagine in…

Your first paragraph.

sunshine bear, how are you feeling today? You’ve been on my mind since I read your post late last night, and I wanted to reach out. I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this right now. I’m sending you a huge hug in case you need one today. <3

Yup, just like that but less poofy! Just a regular low ponytail, segmented. Segmented ponytail has netted real google results so I’m gonna roll with that. 

Seriously? A situation went sideways on her (and smells like a damn set-up), and she was alone with a man larger and stronger than her. She did speak up when he hurt her, he didn't seem to care. Way to victim-blame.

So, this sounds traumatic, and be extra kind to yourself.  Pamper yourself, smooth your fur, eat good food and be glad they are not part of your life.  Sounds like drama and no reward for you. There’s better experiences out there, be good to yourself and you’ll be in a place to enjoy them when the time is right.  

Thank you. The whole thing was very surprising to me when he was explaining it. Worse, I think he'd have a woman come in for a week or two, then another, ect. It seemed predatory, but if the woman is willing, can you call it that?

Nah that’d squick me out. I don’t understand it at all. Like I don’t understand why you would WANT a random woman on your holiday, even if you were planning on bascially using her as a live-in prostitute. It would be so awkward?? It kind of gives the impression he doesn’t think of women as people, but rather as like,…

Your body physically reacting is completely normal, and doesn’t mean anything. His actions (not listening to you, not respecting your boundaries, not checking in with you, hurting you without your enthusiastic consent) are what makes this wrong / an assault. Not your reactions. Our bodies have a bunch of hard-coded…

It sounds like you were, and are, in shock. Which is perfectly understandable in the circumstances you’re describing.

This whole thing seemed off to me, and you’ve confirmed why. 

Thank you for your kind words and your wisdom. I do have an appointment next week at the local women’s health clinic for std checks. I went to the hospital later that afternoon, after the incident, to get checked for immediate physical damage; thankfully there was minimal lasting damage.

I’m sorry this happened to you. You did nothing wrong. Always remember that.

Thank you. I do appreciate your kindness. I'm in Australia and my doctor gave me a number for the sexual assault helpline, I should just bite the bullet and call. Thanks ❤

Oh shit! I’m really sorry! I hope I’m completely wrong. Look, you were there, like I said, and if she seemed genuine, then I’m way off base. I shouldn’t even have suggested it. I’m sorry.

Oh Jesus fuck I didn't even think about that. Fuck fuck fuck fuck
