chills down my spine that last story

Do you have to provide proof of absence? That’s ridiculously restrictive. We need to reform voting restrictions in this country.

That sucks—what state are you in that you don’t have absentee voting??

Threw me too until I went to jsonline.com They’re now “part of the USA Today Network,” and Journal Sentinel has Milwaukee-Wisconsin listed above it. Not sure what their actual name is anymore.

What happened? Did you share your concerns with your instructor?

I did not know that about strangulation—do you have references you can point to? I’m super curious, because if true, it seems like something we should be talking about more often.

Yeah, I was curious re: the student reaction on campus and went to UW Madison’s reddit page. Unsurprisingly, women noticed something off about the dude then too.

Yes, giving my friends’ kids an option or an out is something I offer up too, especially if my friends haven’t considered these things yet.

Anyone ever come across any paralegal intro courses, or something similar? The Intro to American Law might cover some bases, but I’m coming from the support staff side of things.

At one point last night, toward the end, he said something about her in such a vile tone, I turned to my husband and said that he’s gonna get her killed. This man’s rhetoric paired with the scary fundamentalists he leads is downright dangerous. I hope to God the secret service is up to the task. I feel sick.

A homeless man recently called after me, followed me, and then *touched me on the shoulder,* the other day when I was walking with my headphones. He also seemed to come out of nowhere—which freaked me out because I’m super vigilant about my visual surroundings when I’m walking with headphones.

This made me angry and anxious the first time I saw this, and it’s just as visceral now, a couple days later. I’m not left handed, but if I had been in her spot, my left hand would have balled up and jammed itself into that asshole’s mouth so fucking fast. What I would give to see a woman fight back this waste of…

Gotta link?

People are weird, aggressive jerks while commuting—while bicycling, I’ve run into more than a few psychotic drivers than I care to dwell on.

Riding on the sidewalks is *legal* in Madison, WI, so long as buildings’ exits don’t directly dump out onto the sidewalk. But I still don’t recommend it, because we have a ton of one-ways downtown, and drivers are rarely scanning the sidewalk for bicyclists like they should be.

The tag is perfect.

Ha—I have two cats, and I talk to them like they’re dogs. I think it helps more with my sanity than their dis/obedience. The tabby listens for the most part—he’s typical cat. Doesn’t give a shit, kinda just rolls with the punches and is happy to sit down when you tell him to. He prances off if you admonish him for…

oh i got chills

OMG I will never have my back to a doorway ever again OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMFG.
