My advice is NOT shitty. It is the correct advice. There are organizations out there to assist with legal representation if someone lacks funds. Also, no one “calls a judge” for an order of protection.

I AM AN ATTORNEY. What do you think a prosecutor is? Did you ever actually work in law enforcement, because how did you do that and fail to comprehend what a prosecutor is? Your reading comprehension is severely lacking. This is a complex case, because it will impact her life in many ways. This is not an easy thing to…

Did you miss the stalking part? The part where at least three times I mentioned prosecuting stalking cases, working a stalking case with a victim, and training on stalking cases? Your advice is simply horrible. There’s no other way to describe it. It’s terrible advice. From a former victim advocate and a prosecutor,…

I’m sad about Gimme Brow, too! :( The lady who did my brows at Ulta pointed me to Brow Wow by Benefit. It’s not bad. Pretty decent. But, it’s not Gimme Brow.

It is not bad advice. It is the proper advice. I prosecuted DV cases and stalking cases. Before that, I was a victim advocate for DV victims where I assisted them with getting orders of protection. I know A LOT about them. I also spent 3 years training CJ professionals on DV, sexual assault, and stalking. So, I’m well…

Thank you for helping one of your students!

I wish you well. If he’s lawyered up, it may be even more beneficial to you to seek out your own legal counsel, especially to discuss other issues that may arise if something is pursued or if any of these investigations move to charges. I have a feeling his lawyer told him to be on his best behavior right now. Also, I…

LW1 - Consider seeking out legal counsel who specializes in assisting crime victims. The attorney can provide you with more advice about your options in your area. If you and the lawyer decide to pursue contacting police, you tend to get a better response when you have a knowledgeable lawyer with you. Maybe contact…

Gavin DeBecker also has a quote in that very book that says something along the lines of “the first time you’re a victim; the second time you’re a volunteer.” So...he’s a tad problematic.

It was said in anger. There’s nothing feminist about resulting to calling a woman a cunt only when you’re angry.

Let the relationship run its course. It will. I know that’s hard to do. But, people are very sensitive and very protective of their romantic relationships, and it will only be seen as jealousy. You run the chance of ruining the friendship if you say something. If she’s not in an abusive situation, don’t say anything.…

The ones I bought on Amazon, Hue, were hit or miss. I have some that have held up over a year. One pair ripped instantly. I second the Assets tights recommendation. They’re pricier, but I’ve had some for over 5 years. I also like Lane Bryant’s tights and Target’s tights — I think they’re called A New Day.

Not so much cooking as assembling, but today I put together a delicious quick and easy lunch option and I was happy with the results. I was getting bored of standard lunches, so I went to Trader Joe’s and just started picking up ingredients.

Lately, I’ve been bummed with the comments section in general. I’ve been reading since 2009/2010-ish. I know I don’t read as much now. Simply because the comments section has moved away from the old Jezebel and not in the best way. It used to be standard practice that sizes and weight are not mentioned. I’ve seen…

It’s bullshit. I’m not a hairstylist. However, a few years ago I got my hair cut to chin length from butt length. I wanted healthier hair and asked my hairstylist what to do to keep it long and healthy. She said trimming only helps b/c it cuts down on split ends, which make the hair more breakable. But, frequent…

It is Joseph. He’s in Handmaid’s Tale.

Yep. That’s why I don’t want to buy it. If I start buying a $47 foundation, I’ll keep buying it. Slippery slope.

I need a foundation recommendation. One that won’t settle into fine lines. I’ve been using Maybelline’s Fit Me foundation and Neutrogena’s Long-Wear Foundation. A few weeks ago, after a Christmas party, and drinking, and lots of laughing, I looked like I was 70 years old. I didn’t know if I should scream or cry or do…

I know the person was making a jokey tennis reference. However, this still wasn’t a line call, b/c it was clear what happened.

It’s not a “line call” to review evidence in an investigation. That’s what’s supposed to happen when an investigation takes place. The judge didn’t make the call; police investigators did. Judges don’t present and file charges. Police present charges and prosecutors file charges.
