Just a reminder that people don’t always realize they were raped in the immediate aftermath. It can take hours, days, months, and even years to realize you were raped, and it doesn’t make it any less true. There are many kinds of responses, including fawning and trying to appease your rapist

The way the Cornell victim is being publicly disbelieved by a lot of journalists, officials, and online posters is also a warning shot to every other victim not to dare to actually pursue a case against your rapist lest you suffer the same fate. It’s a means of protecting the status quo

The NYT reporting on the Cornell case continues to be inflected with bias and victim blaming. Someone explain to me how this reporter reached the conclusion that Jane Doe was just upset that she was being “used” when in fact she had already told the Cornell police she had been raped.

In her lawsuit, she said that she was
"incapable of consenting" to even that initial sexual encounter because of severe inebriation. She asserted that the two men had forced sex on her and called it an assault.
In the transcript of the police interview, she had a more complicated reaction. She said that she was upset and hurt that a man she liked was using her.
She added: "I was a sex doll for all intents and purposes, which is sad."

California requires a license to sell raw milk for human consumption. Doing so without a license can lead to fines of up to $10k and jail time of up to a year. But there's a loophole: unlicensed farms can sell raw milk as long as they label it as pet food.

The sale of unapproved milk products without a CDFA license is in violation of the California Food and Agricultural Code, as follows:

It is unlawful for any person to sell, give away, deliver, or knowingly purchase or receive any milk, cream, product of milk or cream, imitation milk, imitation cream, product resembling a milk product, or any substitute for any milk product which does not conform to the standards which are established by this division (a misdemeanor).

It is unlawful for any person to sell, give away, or deliver, or to knowingly purchase or receive any impure, polluted, tainted, unclean, unwholesome, stale or unadulterated milk or cream, or any product which is manufactured wholly or in part from such milk or cream

It is unlawful for any person to sell, give away, deliver, or knowingly purchase or receive any milk or any product of milk which has been produced or handled in or by a dairy farm, milk products plant, carrier, store, or depot, that is in an insanitary condition.
