Just needs alt-text:
How to avoid sexual assault! A QUICK AND EASY GUIDE* 

sexual violence centre cork 

1 DON'T PUT DRUGS IN PEOPLE'S DRINKS 

4 WHEN YOU SEE A WOMAN WALKING BY HERSELF, LEAVE HER ALONE. 

3 WHEN YOU COME ACROSS SOMEONE WHO IS DRUNK OR ASLEEP, THE BEST THING TO DO IS NOT RAPE THEM. 

6 CARRY A WHISTLE. IF YOU THINK YOU MIGHT RAPE SOMEONE, BLOW THE WHISTLE UNTIL SOMEONE COMES TO STOP YOU.

2 USE THE BUDDY SYSTEM! IF YOU CAN'T STOP YOURSELF FROM SEXUALLY ASSAULTING SOMEONE, ASK A TRUSTED FRIEND TO ACCOMPANY YOU AT ALL TIMES TO STOP YOU. 

5 IF YOU ARE IN A LIFT AND SOMEONE STEPS IN, REMEMBER NOT TO SEXUALLY ASSAULT THEM.

*for perpetrators.

Finally watched the GoT Knight of the blah Kingdoms. Was a little underwhelmed, probably because folks were talking it up pretty hard. The only thing I want from GoT at this point is *no Targaryens*. So sick of those guys.

Pay attention Dems. Gov Beshear won twice, in a deep red state, and never threw trans people under the bus. He led with compassion rather than the fear and cowardice we've seen from some of our Ohio candidates and party leadership.

A lot of things make me feel kind of dumb, including how to take at face value the logic of “we are a multibillion dollar transnational industry building a vengeful elder god, and we definitely won’t stop unless you regulate us the way we want, which is a secret.”

The thing is… the breadth and depth of human goals and methods are so vast that no training prompt will ever save you. But by all means, spend billions slowly finding that out.

I'm not a Metallica guy - one of my college roommates listened to them a lot. But I can't deny, the intro* to Fade to Black is stunningly beautiful. Listening it on a loop just for that.

Southpaw adds: Melania and Trump each look into the camera lens; Trump is intensely bug eyed and stiff while Melania looks desolated and betrayed. Xi watches them impassively.

Parenting (and childing) thought: Every parent I know personally feels like they're building the plane while flying it. Making it up as we go along. From the kid's perspective, that funky stalling airplane is foundational. It's the architecture of their upbringing. That's a wild contrast.
