They tried to bury her and she continually clawed her way to the surface despite Cornell shoveling dirt on top of her.
I hope people understand how impossibly difficult it is to advocate for yourself as a victim and how insanely resilient you have to be to even file.
They don't tell you how repairing your own broken stuff makes that stuff feel way more intimately yours than buying a replacement for the broken thing.
with the story out of cornell, I'm reminded of the sexual assault case out of columbia that radicalized me back in 2014. truly nothing has changed since then
I went back to actually reading aloud for 30minutes everyday because my verbal dexterity was diminishing! I was rushing through words, not finishing pronunciations plus had a terrible breathing technique when presenting! Glad to report that I have improved so much!
not to get too #real on here, but being a woman online feels like a slow descent into madness. Like it actually feels like self harm. I feel crazy just seeing the filth and depravity men are capable of. How can I be expected to live amongst them? When I know what they do?
Hasan Piker, once again, clarified his statements on the 'be normal' discourse:
"It is abnormal to constantly fucking make it seem like people that have disabilities are not allowed in normal society. It is those who focus on the people that are more vulnerable and direct their entire attention and enmity at people who are more vulnerable and marginalized; those are the abnormal freaks. That's it.
This is not about excluding people. It's actually about welcoming in people with differing opinions into the fold and being a little bit more understanding of the social conditioning that plays a role in their development, in their output, with the hopes that they can change; with the hopes that they can change their minds. That is my argument, that's always been my argument and that will always be my argument."
I think part of the virality of the bar discourse on the left was that a certain contingent of people are eager for proof that requiring masks will turn away a ton of people from movement work, but irl organizers know that its usually nbd, even for normies.
Men need to be socialized on what to do when other men ask them to participate in sexual violence. From Gisèle Pelicot to Cornell University men act as bystanders to the sexual violence of other men when they could’ve intervened and saved someone from extreme acts of violence.
I don’t think most American leftists believe in socialism truly. The snobby of cynicism and disdain for the people they seek to liberate is palpable and it is embarrassing, it is something you should be disgusted in yourself for, the ppl need you to show up for them.
Just like Gisele Pelicot.
Her husband “advertised” her online. Said men could come rape her unconscious body.
Some men showed up and changed their mind.
They knew it was wrong & walked away… but didn’t stop to get her help.
Men protect men.
morning! abdel continues to need your support as his family is forced to endure gen0cide. can you match at least 10usd? can you double it and make it 20? at the bare minimum r3post https://t.co/PyTxK6RHrf
@BillieNyelish it's whatever, it's over I'm just sad that the tl was overwhelmingly focused on bullshit instead of netanyahu. I don't have answers but at least don't give into nothing discourse is my first suggestion
@BillieNyelish he came for the un speech yesterday n there was a very polite protest where some ppl got dentained. I assume hes left since but mamdani did not arrest him as promised bc he can't (not saying this passive aggressively I just. I'm not dumb I know it's nypd who runs shit)
