Wow - STRONG recommendation for #Netflix doc #CallMeLucky. As a survivor of #sexualabuse, I'm uplifted and wrought and sobbing... it's a truly amazing film and story (which I was unfamiliar with!). Watch it.
Real Law Review: Kavanaugh v. Ford Hearing https://t.co/1EXQLqcnhR This might be one of the most pointed and insightful analyses I’ve seen of the #KavanaughFord testimonies, and an absolute must-watch if it’s something you can handle at the moment. c/o @LegalEagleDJ
@APolyPrincess Long story short: I wouldn’t make it a mandatory/core part of a scavenger hunt. It might be appropriate to make it a bonus task that a team could attempt if they feel it’s fun/ not likely to be harmful, but allow others an out or not competitively disadvantage them if they demur.
@APolyPrincess ... that I think one could lead others astray by definitively saying either “Yes” or “No”
I think that asking to spank a stranger could, itself, be a trigger or trauma or tribulation for someone. It’s seeking consent, but simply asking someone to fuck can be boundary-violating...
Also, it’s clear within seconds why #TomStoppard radically elevated R&G’s prominence, but at no point yesterday could I understand why #BrettKavanuagh & #LindseyGraham deserved so much screen time.
If you’re going to turn politics into #theatre, study good theatre #ProTip
Yesterday’s bombastic, meandering, melodramatic, impassioned testimony from #BrettKavanaugh (with phrases like #SearchAndDestroy) made it clear he’s looking for someone to blame.
But the committee is well within its rights (and duty) to vet him - why not blame #Trump?
The difference being that Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are Dead was, and is, terrific & engaging theater. #BrettKavanaugh’s weepy, immature, hostile attempts to defend himself were not, nor were LG’s soap-operatic, transparently-partisan wrestling promos.
I have called for:
—Complete disclosure of all documents
—Subpoena Mark Judge
—Postpone the vote
Dr. Ford was credible & courageous.
What message will we send to our daughters & sons, let alone sexual assault victims?
The message I will send is this—I vote no. #RightSideofHistory
I was saddened to see #GeorgeWBush come out in (tepid) support of #Kavanaugh, but I think even our second-dumbest-ever president (plus all 43 of the smarter ones, of any/all parties) would have dropped Brett like a rapey hot potato long before this point. #ThisIsNotNormal
I’ve been busy with getting a company off the ground, so I haven’t had much time to comment, but I wanted to say this:
Dr Christine #BlaseyFord is an American hero in the truest & most literal sense;
#BrettKavanaugh is an amalgamation of all the worst boys I knew in HS.
@HDTGM - I’m relistening to older eps & just stumbled across @paulscheer & @MsJuneDiane’s baby cooing (at this time) & for just a split second, Paul forgets that he’s supposed to be funny, that he’s hosting a show, and is just a sweet dad, and it was so lovely it made me cry 😭
It’s pretty live over here at the @UHouston Student Center, y’all - it was definitely not nearly as turnt when I graduated back in 2013 😮 good vibes. I always love paying my alma mater a visit ❤️ #Houston#htowntakeover#cougarpride
Did y'all know research shows that knowing your own desire helps you navigate all sexual situations better - including ones that might include sexual violence?
Pleasure-inclusive sex ed *literally* keeps us safer. Support it - for EVERYONE.
@elisabeth My Mom - @UHLAW ‘84 - would say that, for some, the J.D. isn’t just unnecessary in discerning right from wrong, but an active hindrance.
And I taught LSAT for a few years, so... you know. I get it ✊#BasicallyALawyer 🙄😬
@elisabeth Total agreement on all main points.
‘Rarely’ is right, though - you technically didn’t even trot it out here, either. At this point, pretty much all I know for sure is: not Princeton, Brown or Dartmouth 🤔
@DawnHFoster Also, I can’t be the only one who chortled aloud when I read his first line: “There’s very little in life that annoys me.”
...though I may well have been the only person to chortle loudly enough in a @DennysDiner to get a ‘you okay, hon?’ from staff 😬 admittedly
