Hey, I’m just asking questions. Ignorant questions, bigoted questions, questions that have been repeatedly answered for many years. Sorry, but I’m not listening to answers right now; I’m far too busy asking questions. It’s called being intellectually curious.

to add to this: when I was broken and floundering in the wake of my 1st assault, I had men circling me like they were sharks and my fragile healing psyche was the chum these were FRIENDS, people I knew and trusted for years prior. and they were opportunistic hunters who preyed upon me at my weakest

“It’s not ALL men.” None of the 50+ men the Cornell rapists invited to come join them in raping a woman they’d drugged went to the authorities or tried to stop it. Not all men would rape an unconscious woman, but where are the men who’d try to stop it, or EVEN FUCKING OBJECT?

I think another lesson to take from the loss of both Dolly and Tim Curry is that neither of them took themselves seriously but they took the work dead serious that's the most important thing pour all of yourself into the craft but have fun and don't get an ego.

Democratic revival requires a bare majority willing to wield power aggressively. That's it. Moreover, Dems know the peril of NOT wielding power, and have more than two years to get everyone in line. If they win slim majorities and don't do it the failure's on them. www.offmessage.net/p/democrats-...
