I want to hear literally everything about your life. How can we set up a pen pal system

You were assaulted, period. Whether or not another received worse doesnt negate what happened to you. Dont let anyone try and diminish the impact that it has had on your life. Do try and find someone to talk to about this and how it has changed you. Very sorry.

Were you married? I normally wouldn’t pry but I need some background info. I can understand if you weren’t married and you dated 2 maybe 3 years. Like it makes sense to be Aunt Erin’s boyfriend and not Uncle Bruce. But if you were married, upon saying the vows you become Uncle Bruce.

Santa Rosa native here, living 0.5 miles from an evacuation boundary. Please consider donating to Laguna Veterinary Hospital. It’s a small clinic with only one vet. They’re caring for injured pets and absorbing all of the costs. They nees money for medical supplies and prescriptions that only they can buy.

Born and raised in beautiful Santa Rosa, getting by on the support of the community. We’re the biggest city north of the bridge but it feels like a small town, we love our neighbors and we’re looking out for each other more than ever. I’m not ready or able to fully articulate my feelings, lots of shock and grief, some…

What makes this spooky is the Coffey Lane subdivision isn’t some rural section of land - this was a MASSIVE section of Santa Rosa. I lived through the Rim Fire in Tuolumne County and now this, and this one was way scarier because how deep into Santa Rosa it got. This was close to downtown shopping malls and well known…

It really is a flawed but wonderful part of the world. I wish more people got to know it before a fifth of it burned u. If you don’t know SR, you don’t know how much was lost. It’s devastating to our city.

Rosa native here as well, what a city huh? In the recent months I had become increasingly irritated by it. The new courthouse square, the much delayed smart train and the growing homeless population, sky high rents. I was ready to just run away from it all, now having been evacuated since Monday all I want is to go…

I grew up in Santa Rosa, and this is so wholly devastating. My childhood has burned up. While my home wasn’t destroyed, homes of good friends and loved ones are completely gone, and the fires are still not wiped out.

Right before I turned 21 I moved to a new city, transferred colleges, and got an apartment by myself. I picked a place out on the third story of a rambling old Victorian mansion - a modest studio with white metal cabinets from the 1950's and a rusted fire escape which always gave me bad feelings. It was metal, and…

My senior year of college, my boyfriend lived off campus and so we spent a lot of time at his place. It was out in the middle of no where, surrounded by woods and only accessible by this one lane country road. One night, around Halloween, we decided to watch the movie The Strangers. It’s a horror movie about a couple…

Love. Very true. Also very black mirror.

This is not a ghost story, but a horrible human encounter. This happened about 4.5 years ago:

That story is why I am no longer allowed to read scary stories.

There’s always a reason to keep quiet. Not wanting to be the cause of that person’s divorce or job loss. Convincing yourself that it wasn’t that big of a deal. Not wanting to cause a scene or a fuss. Fear that you’ll be blamed. Endless reasons.

And after thousands of people are dead and the killing tapers off, we’ll all read long-form pieces in The New Yorker about this, Netflix will produce a documentary on it, and a movie about it will win an oscar and everyone will say “Never again...”

Tell us again that nobody knew.

...I had school in the morning...

“Oh, Kate lives to say no to me.”

Really terrible that people just can’t go to work, do an honest job, and be treated fairly and with respect. Men like Weinstein probably hate movies. They just go into the business to be able to pressure beautiful women into having sex with them because the good looking girls wanted nothing to do with them growing up.
