You’d love to hear the conversation I had with my therapist the other day about self-doubt as a form of bondage. A kind of slavery, if you will*.

You’re describing an experience that is not universal to people who can be defined as “slaves.” If those are your criteria for what constitutes “slavery” then no one but Africans in the Euro-American slave trade can be considered slaves. That’s a narrow and ridiculous framing of what “slavery” is.

Isn’t “slavery” (of a kind) what this is all about, though? Forcing Kesha to work against her will, bound by a contract entered into under false pretenses (Dr. Luke has my best interests at heart / is not a rapist) is a kind of enslavement. She is being treated as this man’s legal property.

No sighs from me.

WAIT! This is the lady who played Pilar on Weeds! OMG. I’ve seen her name and photo in headlines but this is the first time I’ve matched the face to where I’ve seen her.

Sorry, but six days ago? People are in such a hurry to digest shit, and using a national platform to drag this friend as a “cuntface” with your side of the story, which we just have to trust, is beyond passive-aggressive.
