It’s not really semantics, though, since so many people like to talk about punishing “criminals” or taking action to stop “crime.” There are lots and lots of things in the law which are illegal or against the law, but which aren’t crimes. You deal with things like that every day, actually, and are intimately familiar…

I don’t think that’s how it works

Ugh. Yes. I’ve experienced that and it is an absolute mind-fuck.

Oh, absolutely! And, sadly, my advice is aimed more at the guys who are trying to get better, since the guys who are so blind to the accomplishments of others and the assistance they themselves got are... not necessarily reachable. 

Really interesting story, and definitely shows the ways in which the “Great Man” narrative (i.e., the idea that social change occurs through one or two individuals alone) can so easily erase the impact of women.

You say that, but right now, a young Zephyr Timblebum is booking her first modeling gig. And Glynda Wonklefuss is heading to Hollywood to follow her dreams.

Sounds like the “law” that was violated was “disrupting an educational institution,” which is exactly the kind of bullshit law that is specifically designed to give police officers the authority to pick and choose which kids get thrown to the wolves of the criminal justice system. Which, to no one’s surprise, will be…

Ooh, that reminds me that I could have a burrito for lunch.

Around! My June and July was insane (in good ways and bad ways) and a lot of my internet time was staring at pictures of cats to keep myself sane ;)

We have a type of red squirrels in the US too! They’re so much cuter than grey squirrels, agreed.

And that’s good for me because it means one less guy competing with me. I am 34.

Right, like, my partner and I have gone through similar maturing over the years, we’ve both changed, grown, and matured. And like... I enjoy that! We’ve grown together!
