If no one is being paid to work nights/weekends then it’s not the writers’ fault. Perhaps the EIC, or the publisher who won’t provide the budget. Maybe there’s just not anyone who wants the job, like so many other jobs these days.

Your not wrong.

keep up with the Jones’.

This is why intersectionality is so important in topics like this. Yes, the police likely steered her in the direction they wanted her to go but they weren’t the ones who got her a book deal. We can acknowledge the cops were only willing to help this woman to the extent that she helped them at the same time we’re…

At the minimum, she owes him is acknowledgment and an apology for profiting off the injustice perpetrated against him. We all know that the cops don’t take rape seriously unless it’s out of their hands (Weinstein, Kelly) or they can justify their own biases like the black male rapist terrorizing white women. What was…

But wasn’t reliving and reexamining the rape and trauma the whole purpose of writing her memoire?

Much of the vitriol sent her way has nothing to do with Broadwater, but with an overall anger at a system that allows such things to happen over and over and over again, failing rape victims and the falsely accused alike, because it is more interested in upholding a racist status quo than it is in justice as a true…

“Ms Sebold is now not only having to contend with the fact that she had a part to play in sending an innocent man to jail for nearly two decades.“

This whole thing where we act like she was an unwilling accomplice in this man’s incarceration is pretty disgusting. She sacrificed this man’s life just because she had “a feeling” it was him during a random encounter on the street. You can’t do that, then act like she was unwilling after the fact.

Lord, the excuses made for what this woman did. Her defenders always want to bring up internet death threats Seibold gets to make sure you know who the real victim is after she got caught falsely accusing an innocent man of rape and collaborating with a bunch of racist cops using racist tropes to convict him. And…

Did not do anything malicious… except being coached into lying and robbing a man of his life.

Now, holding all these truths at once, here is what I feel about Alice Sebold as a person: nothing. I don’t believe Alice Sebold is “evil,” a “cunt,” “deserves to rot in prison,” or any of the other vitriolic takes that have been shared online in the days since Broadwater’s exoneration. We forget that there is a…

It seems like there’s a lot she could do. She could begin by reaching out to him to ask him what he wants, what he needs from her to make him whole.

The premise that freshly traumatized 18 year old Ms Sebold manipulated by the racist police and racist justice system is valid. But for decades, she knew she was not sure. Yet, she let that discomfort go unexamined. She ignored the disturbance in her survivor narrative through her book deal and was prepared to see…

I think I’m in agreement about future profits from Lucky- I would prefer all profits. All profits from Lucky.

I’m cognizant that the greater villains here are the prosecutor and police, individuals who knew witness ID to be worthless. But I think trying to dodge any culpability for Alice is not fair. I’m not implying…

An 18 yr. old, White rape victim was asked to put faith in a system that ultimately failed. The system which is taught by white parents to obey in a very different way than black parents warn their children to be wary. Ms. Sebold’s trauma and blind faith put Mr. Broadwater’s life in jeopardy in so many ways from the…

Y’all, I think it might FINALLY be happening! Our son, his partner and their toddler might be coming from Oz to the US in late January or February. We have not met our precious granddaughter (our only grandchild) yet as she was born just after the pandemic started. She will be almost two when we get to hold her. I’m…

Union workers are much more comfortable saying, “This is not ok, I am not doing this, do I need to call my union representative?” Non-Union workers are much more easily pressured to just do what the boss says even after pointing out unsafe things.

She’s been using the memory of those those four little girls ever since I’ve been aware of her—which has been since 1987, when she spoke to the incoming Black students at Stanford my freshman year. When she became Provost and Black students confronted her about campus policies, she immediately went to “How dare you /…

Pretty sure Rebel Wilson is the one always talking about her body.
