Thank you for this. It’s easy to forget when weasel words are used that, as Chief Queef also points out, they were children. I was assaulted at that age, and for many years I thought I brought it on myself. And then I found a picture of myself from that summer, and I realized that no, dude was a fucking sicko. Doesn’t…

There’s something satisfying about that. Like, maybe there is some justice in this world.

I have to say, that so many of the responses here are shutting down people attacking Brown's accuser gives me hope. It would have been a different story even just three years ago. As a survivor, thank you to all of you who are willing to at least hear her out. It means a lot.

Why do you look like you want to run? Maybe it’s no more than usual, but it’s still…

I have, but women’s jackets usually have absolute bullshit pockets, if they have pockets at all.

Ha, I wish. That would be awesome. 

I might be mistaken, but didn’t the whole playing of the anthem before NFL games and the big to-do around the Salute To Service begin after 9/11?

Your assessment is most likely spot-on, and makes me want to grab a bottle of Bombay East.

Me too. I don’t mind going to Carousel, so long as I have enough warning to travel a bit more first.

Earlier this year, my husband and I separated. I was the one who initiated the split, but it’s still got an emotional impact and it’s hard for that to not affect my work, and I knew I would need time off to deal with the legal side of it as well, so during our weekly one-on-one, I let my manager know what was…

Or some duck tape!

This is one of those times when I’m really glad that my work blocks YouTube videos. I can’t see it unless I watch it on my phone, or from home later tonight!

Apologizing is just what we do.
