Thank you! That means a lot to me, truly.

Thank you! That is such a good way to look at it and that is what I am going to tell myself when I think that I’m overreacting or whatever other guilty feelings come up. 

Thank you! The support from people here is pretty mind-blowing, I really didn’t think my post would even be seen. It is wild how light the sentences can be even for cases where the perp pleads guilty and where there is evidence. In my case there is the entire thing caught on video but he still pleaded not guilty so…

Thank you!

Ugh I know, it is so ridiculous the thoughts that go through my head but then, it’s what we see in the media all the time when someone reports or speaks out about sexual assault. I don’t believe for a hot second that any woman would actually go through this process for attention. And yet there’s that nagging voice in…

Thank you so much!

You’re right...thank you! I guess regardless of the outcome (though it happened right outside my work where there are cameras, so the entire thing is on video and hopefully will be pretty cut and dry) it at least sends a message that I won’t stay quiet if people violate me like that. And it has also helped me speak…

Thank you! Speaking (or typing) it did help, and so does everyone’s support. Can’t wait for this to be done!

I’m a longtime lurker and infrequent poster, hence firmly in the greys so I don’t know if anyone will see this. But, I feel like it will feel good for me to say.

Seriously. I’m super duper white and the first thought in my head when I read this was how much I hate white people. Watching these entitled, awful people treat this man the way they did especially makes me sick as here in Canada we are equally terrible to our First Nations people.

This has been one of the banes of my existence since getting a dog. Mine is anxious and reactive to people and dogs bigger than she is, so we stay out of the off-leash areas. I can’t believe though how many people just let their dogs run around the streets without a leash. And as their dog is barreling towards us and…

Oh man, it’s good to have someone else say that! Having a dog who does not like being engaged with unless you are in her circle has totally changed how I am with other dogs. I don’t ask to pet at all but when I say that people look at me like I’m one of those people who hates all dogs but my own which is furthest from…

Oh she would have messed him up good and trust me, I had the thought! Unfortunately it would probably have ended with me charged and her euthanized. A lot of people ask to pet her and I only ever let kids, as those are the only strangers she isn’t reactive to. And it’s only ever men who try to challenge me on it. The…

So... there are a lot of good men in my life but I’m gonna need all men to just disappear for a good long while. The other day a man called me a bitch when I declined his request to pet my dog (she is scared of strangers petting her). Go away for awhile, guys. Until you can figure out that women are not here solely to…

I got to see this pod a few years ago, back while Granny, who lived to be about 105 years old, was still around and with them. They are incredible creatures and it is amazing to see them, in their natural habitat, as close as they want. This story is so heartbreaking and whatever J35 was seeking in carrying her calf…

Who the fuck shoots a memorial signpost for Emmet Till?? His killers got off, they bragged about killing him and being acquitted, literally the only thing anyone could have against this child is that he was black. Oh wait, that’s all the excuse so many Americans need. I feel sick.

Okay okay, this video is extremely sweet. Her daughter will love having this as she grows up.

I hope to god that Christopher Cattrall is somewhere inside and safe right now. There has been an extreme cold warning up until today in that area... with windchill in some areas it was -35C. Hope he is found safe!

Sorry for your loss. I like to think it was her telling you she was okay.

Oh man do I ever hear you. I’m sorry. :/
