Micro/mini pigs DO NOT EXIST!!! Stop getting pigs because they’re cute as babies.

I cringed so hard watching that exchange yesterday. And while he SHOULD apologize, his apology came after a 15 minute break where someone probably coached him, and made him out to be an upstanding guy. It glosses over the original exchange where he was totally out of line and frankly, extremely immature. He was trying…

What about when his yearbook came out with him bragging about the chicks he banged?

You’re right, assaults cannot really be dealt with unless a victim is willing to report. However, we should be putting pressure on people (let’s not kid ourselves, I mostly mean men) in positions of power to create a system in which victims feel safe coming forward. Because whatever this is, it’s not that.

One time, I discovered that the passenger sitting next to me was fearful of flying. It was at takeoff, when I felt a vice grip on my arm. I talked her through the rest of the flight and the landing.

I was rear-ended on the freeway several years ago and for a long time after that getting on the freeway terrified me. But I still did it because I didn’t have any other way to get to work. Does that make me a liar?

Also, as someone who is terrified of flying but also likes to travel and visits my family who live on the other side of the country multiple times of year...the idea that people who are afraid of flying would never willingly travel by plane is so absurd that it makes my brain melt.

Look, if someone doesn’t like to fly when they don’t have to, but can overcome their fear of flying when necessary, then there’s no way they were sexually assaulted as a teenager. That’s just science.

I can’t watch this today. I’ll read about it over the next few days, just to slow the flow of horrifying information that will likely result in Kavanaugh being confirmed. The US will have an attempted rapist on its Supreme Court.

we don’t know them. They live in Canada.

This whole thing is seriously triggering for me.

Ford’s comment about laughter being the most hurtful detail she remembered really resonated with me, and I teared up when she said it.

This is so hard to watch. I have to keep taking breaks.

Or, put another way: Crimes of sexual violence are the only case where you have to prove a crime was even committed, rather than who committed it.

Crimes of sexual violence are the only crimes where the accuser is guilty of perjury until proven innocent.
