I found out yesterday that I passed the bar exam.

An hour ago I watched helplessly as my kid fell backward off our back step and heard the conk when her head hit the concrete. She’s absolutely fine. I called the on-call nurse from her doctors’ office who told me what to look out for, but she’s been her usual self. I just am still shaking. I truly have never been so…

So, I’ve done a week in the new job which is a bit like a tiny, part-time prison for tiny, part-time prisoners. It’s so intense and I’ve been called all the very worst swears by the children and I’ve physically restrained several of them and it’s sad and heartbreaking but guys I love it.

Step away, it won’t end well.

Yeah...never relegate yourself to being someone’s “other”. Very rarely is it worth it.

So it only took nearly six months but finally the work issue has been resolved. Not only in writing have my workplace found me to have committed no wrongdoing of any kind but also will be admitting fault on their part in that it wasn’t handled “completely appropriately”.

My beautiful, adorable Ollie fell asleep on the 19/09/19.

Yes, IMO the incidents Kavanaugh is accused of are really bad, but what equally pisses me off is his lies, his indignation.

Sure it does. A guy isn’t going to do that because he thinks the woman will say “yay!” and commence to sucking. He’s going to do that because he knows it will make her uncomfortable. In this case, she’s saying that she felt Kavanaugh did this to flex his power over her - to say, “See, I can do this nasty, threatening…

A sex offense? Yes. Pushing your/someone’s uncovered genitals toward someone’s body when not wanted? Preeeeetty much the definition.
