My TEDx talk on sexual abuse is live. We’re all in this together to support victims and make sure we help each other heal. #metoo #tedx #hopeandhealing #sexualabuse https://t.co/41SsguF2eM

Pretty sure @drpepper is going to have to be in my acknowledgements for my master’s capstone this summer because that’s how I’m surviving all this.

@TashaSeegmiller I only have one class, but I am also not ready. 😅 But do classes start on the 28th? Or 30th? 😬

[Wendy Jessen (Hope and Healing) @WendyJessen]

@TashaSeegmiller Give the extra credit! It’s okay to give extra goodness because we need it sometimes. 💙

[Wendy Jessen (Hope and Healing) @WendyJessen]

@YamileSMendez Sending love and comfort! I’m so sorry! 💙

I subbed my last paper for this semester. It’s a sports comm class which is def not my realm, but guess what? It’s easy to tie sports back to my pet topic of sexual assault given so many pro athletes are perps.🤷🏻‍♀️ I cited 34 sources/8.33 pgs. I’m dead inside. See all my tabs below

4/12/19 This thing I did-not saying I did it well. I’ve never been so scared out of my mind & only hours of practice got me through it. 😬🫣Speaking out for other survivors drove me to persevere.

@HaydenCoombs I really dislike this. So much.

[Wendy Jessen (Hope and Healing) @WendyJessen]

@TashaSeegmiller Now news agencies are sharing body camera footage from officers’ entrance in the home. This is so gutting—all the stories, all the what-ifs, and also knowing that everything in the criminal justice system isn’t as cut and dry as we’d all like. 💔 I have to write a paper now—how?

[Wendy Jessen (Hope and Healing) @WendyJessen]

As in, I feel it is salient that the publics know this. 😂

[Wendy Jessen (Hope and Healing) @WendyJessen]

I dislike the words salient and publics. I don’t have any good reason why.

I may not be going to Taylor Swift 😭😭😭, but I did cite 13 sources in my paper, so it’s basically the same thing, right? 😭

[Wendy Jessen (Hope and Healing) @WendyJessen]

@HaydenCoombs If we are in the realms of gender, social justice, and feminism…I’m all over it. But I can also enjoy watching some sporting events too. 😂

[Wendy Jessen (Hope and Healing) @WendyJessen]

The number of times I just want to quote myself when writing an academic paper…

Professor: you need a source for this.

Me: it’s me. I said it. It came from my brain.

[Wendy Jessen (Hope and Healing) @WendyJessen]

@HaydenCoombs It’s true, but now I have more thoughts. 😅🤷🏻‍♀️
