It’s just fucking awful, horrible news and my heart goes out to her friends and family.

I thought the road to hell was paved with GOOD intentions

My twitter is someuseforaname

I was a skinny baby, next to my cute chubby-baby twin sister I looked like an alien, I was just eyes and hair.

There’a reason we can him Piers Moron in the UK you know.

I wonder how many of their former classmates have read this and thought WTF? I’m expecting a rebuttal from one of them any day now. Something along the lines of ‘Brock Turner has always been an entitled dickwad surrounded by sycophantic friends’

Gainful employment and respect? Don’t forget his future plans of touring schools to warn students about the dangers of drinking and promiscuity.

I feel genuinely sick about every part of this story

This. Those people who, without any sense of irony tell you that you don’t REALLY know true poverty/problems/etc unless you’ve SEEN these places/people with your own eyes.

OMG, I saw that book too and pondered over getting it! I am not having any luck with books lately! This is why I stick to textbooks!!

Your mum sounds like a real treat, this sucks. Well done for standing up for yourself, I can't imagine how hard that was. You rock! I wish I could offer more but all I have is interner hugs.

That’s pretty terrifying, I hate moths, this will give me nightmares

It was pretty funny! I haven’t looked at the TED talk yet as it’s getting a bit late here for getting more worked up about this lady. I’ll save it for tomorrow.

Oh my goodness, I just read this - DYING!

Thanks! Am definitely warming to the idea!

I was thinking about it also with all the uncertainty of the site that happens every few months. It’s tiring! The community is the main reason I come back these days. It's not like the old days when you'd be waiting gleefully for a Lindy article.

Haha, good suggestion. I thought I’d enjoy travelling vicariously with this lady, but she appears to be everything that wrong with the ‘self- love’ movement. As I’ve said in another reply, I’m into all this ‘namaste’ peace and love crap, but lady - have a bit of self awareness!

I’m going to stick with it for a bit and see if anything sticks, but she just doesn’t seem like a very likeable character.

I’m usually asleep by SNS, midnight is too late for me, but anxiety is keeping me up recently. I have so much to say! But the main thing - I’m avoiding getting twitter as my crappy phone can’t handle many more apps. I have been thinking about it recently because I want to keep in the loop with all you Jezzies.

So I just bought ‘Eat Pray Love’, after two unrelated people at different points of the same day recommend it. (I thought it must be some kind of cosmic message or something *shrug*)
