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.

A man replied to this saying in earnest that women need to get organized and fight for our rights and men will follow. We did that. We do that. We mobilized the largest single day protest in global history on every continent and yet I have fewer rights than my mom did at my age.

The whole speech is good, but this part in particular is particularly relevant now. www.trumanlibrary.gov/library/publ...

A screenshot of a section of the linked speech by former President Harry Truman:

I've seen it happen time after time. When the Democratic candidate allows himself to be put on the defensive and starts apologizing for the New Deal and the fair Deal, and says he really doesn't believe in them, he is sure to lose. The people don't want a phony Democrat. If it's a choice between a genuine Republican, and a Republican in Democratic clothing, the people will choose the genuine article, every time; that is, they will take a Republican before they will a phony Democrat, and I don't want any phony Democratic candidates in this campaign.

But when a Democratic candidate goes out and explains what the New Deal and fair Deal really are--when he stands up like a man and puts the issues before the people--then Democrats can win, even in places where they have never won before. It has been proven time and again.
We are getting a lot of suggestions to the effect that we ought to water down our platform and abandon parts of our program. These, my friends, are Trojan horse suggestions. I have been in politics for over 30 years, and I know what I am talking about, and I believe I know something about the business. One thing I am sure of: never, never throw away a winning program.
This is so elementary that I suspect the people handing out this advice are not really well-wishers of the Democratic Party.

We simply are not going to get out of this by just winning the next election & going back to governing. We can't keep doing this total failure of elite accountability. We've been doing it since Iran-Contra, & really since 1865. And we keep not fixing our broken anti-democratic institutions. Enough.

If you're a Dem who thinks you'll gain something by going anti-trans, look at Gallup's "most important problem" and Fox News' "most important issue" polling and see where trans issues rank. Whoever told you going anti-trans is a savvy or necessary move spends too much time on X and should be fired.

Gallup polling. "LGBTQ rights" moves between 0 and 1%.

Fox news polling. Wokeness/transgender issues at 0%.

Again: "Tilly Norwood" is not a person; it is a shoddy, and also pretty gross puppet. Stop referring to it as "she," and start asking whether there might be something a bit off about wanting to promote a sexualized but also childlike "actor" that can never tell its creators or users "no."

Cruz is a healthy, 12-year-old sweetheart whose owner made the difficult decision to give him up when she couldn’t care for him anymore. He has so much love to give you. He’s available for adoption in Southern California.

Soft and gentle white golden retriever.

We hope Cruze gets to fall asleep somewhere and wake up knowing exactly where he is. We hope someone learns how he likes to be scratched and which side of the couch he prefers. We hope there are slow walks where nobody minds if he stops for a while, quiet afternoons when being in the same room is enough, and nights when someone reaches down to touch his head just because he’s there.

We hope this because Cruze is twelve years old, and he already knows that a good life is made up of a thousand little things.

This sweet Golden Retriever came to Santa Barbara Humane when his owner’s health made it impossible for her to continue caring for him. She loved him enough to make an impossibly difficult decision, and that love is still written all over Cruze. He is gentle, affectionate, and wonderfully friendly. His previous owner reports that he is house trained and did well with other animals, and these days, he seems perfectly content with the softer pleasures of life: companionship, comfort, and having someone nearby.

Cruze has received a full medical work-up, including laboratory testing, and recently had his teeth cleaned. Right now, he is staying in a foster home, but we keep thinking about all those ordinary things waiting to become his again. A favorite spot. A familiar voice calling his name from another room. His own water bowl on someone’s kitchen floor. The little routines that don’t seem remarkable until one day you realize they are what a life together is made of.

There may be younger dogs who can promise you more years. Cruze can only promise you his. And we think they could be very, very beautiful ones.

Cruze is available to meet by appointment through our Santa Barbara Campus. To learn more or arrange a meeting, email Adopt@SBHumane.org.
