When I was 16, I went to visit my sister at UW-Madison. It was the early 90s. She was in a sorority, and we went to a frat party that was co-hosted by her sorority. At one point we got separated, and a frat man to whom I'd been previously introduced said he'd help me look for her. He grabbed my hand and ended up taking me to the attic that had multiple bare mattresses on the floor and multiple other frat men just hanging out in wait, several of whom surrounded me immediately. Thankfully, my sister had been alerted by her sorority sister that she'd seen frat man take me in that direction and came to get me right after we got up there. I know people will fault me for being at a frat party at 16. I know people will fault my sister for taking me to a frat party when I was 16. I know people will fault me for drinking at 16. I know people will say that if anything had happened it would have been my fault. But they won't fault the frat for having an attic sex (assualt) den with bare mattresses on the floor. They won't fault the frat that had no issue serving alcohol to a minor who very much looked like a minor. They won't fault frat man for taking me to the attic sex (assault) den when I clearly looked like a 16-year-old at 5'1" and 85 pounds. Women and girls are forced to carry all of the responsibility and all of the blame by men and boys who are automatically exonerated from fault for simply having a dick. Be fucking better.
This is your annual reminder that the person who started the "Kamala Is a Cop" meme/hashtag to take her down was later revealed to be a child sex offender.
Remembering Promising Young Women. It not only captured men's conformity to men's sexual violence but the system's as well. And how men's sexual violence destroys women's futures, & even their lives, while protecting rapists'.
@cataguzman@DanielleKGomes1@simscircuit So I’ll be 50 in a few days, and TIL both this and America being considered one continent. Always something new to learn!
So you are telling me A 13yr old girl in Ethiopia was abducted and abused by a group of men but was rescued by lions when they heard her crying and protected her until the police came. The man vs bear argument had been upgraded to man vs lion. A literal wild animal saved a girl from men…. Literal humans!
@glitch_prod@MarissaLenti My kid enjoys using my ancient, extra-soft baby hairbrush to brush Maid Jax, voice acting how much he hates it, but this is an even more delightful sort of torture.
💔1: Impossible to read the news about Victoriia Roshchyna without feeling tremendous pain & anger. Her body returned from russian captivity in such horrific condition, damaged from starvation & torture, that several DNA tests had to be performed to confirm her identity.
Rescue operations are currently underway in Odesa following another Russian strike on the city's energy infrastructure. Once again, civilian energy facilities have been targeted – for nearly three years now, the Russian army has relentlessly used missiles and attack drones against them.
Just yesterday, after the notorious meeting in Riyadh, it became clear that Russian representatives were once again lying, claiming they do not target Ukraine’s energy sector. Yet, almost simultaneously, they launched another attack, with drones striking electrical transformers. And this is during winter – it was minus 6 degrees Celsius at night.
At least 160,000 Odesa residents are now without heat and electricity. Thirteen schools, a kindergarten, and several hospitals have also been left without power or heating. Repair crews are working tirelessly, and all municipal services are engaged. I am grateful to every rescuer and to everyone helping people.
We must never forget that Russia is ruled by pathological liars – they cannot be trusted and must be pressured. For the sake of peace.
Washington Post’s John Hudson:
“The 19-year-old acolyte of Elon Musk known online as ‘Big Balls’ is listed as having taken on a new role at the State Department, raising concerns among some diplomats about his potential access to sensitive information.”
Elon Musk is mounting a blitzkrieg-style administrative coup of the US government, accessing & editing critical systems that manage everything from Social Security payments to private taxpayer info. Join @IndivisibleTeam in DC today to demand a stop to it: https://t.co/VJuKsBKRPj
