i wrote about the rule my friend and i have: we call each other to cry and scream and rend our garments in moments of agony, but at the end of every such conversation, we have to tell each other a joke www.patreon.com/raxkingisdea...
To feel pain in an appropriate moment for it—to ache with angry sympathy for a young woman's suffering, in this case—is to be seduced just a little. You know you're right to be sad and enraged. You don't want to let any of it go after you've acknowledged it. That's your sadness and rage, righteously felt. The pain bears witness and says I can't do this anymore through your mouth, but the pain won't have to suffer the consequences of not doing this anymore. You will. That's why we end our calls with two jokes no matter how much we don't feel like it. Doing so halts the seduction. Even a very grumpily delivered joke tells that pain to take a beat, please, because we're using our brains for something else right now. It's not exactly good we feel after telling these jokes, but it's not exactly unequivocally miserable, either, which is a start.

feeling this hard -- i am so glad that there is an actual conversation that's taking place around cornell, and that survivors coming forward isn't being dismissed as 'woke 1' or whatever the fuck. and it's also hard to ignore that we've been here before, in the recent past, and nothing changed.

On the *same day* the Cornell Seven drugged and raped Jane Doe, Cornell banned four students (including the President of Cornell JVP) from campus for three years for nonviolent, pro-Palestine protests. The same Cornell officials let the rapists off with apology essays.

My Brothers Case
Criminal Law
Location:
I'm not condoning my brothers actions but just tryin to figure out some options. My brother was arrested for felony assault causing injury against his criminal defense attorney in another misdemeanor case. The attorney is a pretty well known attorney in the area I guess. Now we are finding that other lawyers wont take his case which I understand is his fsult but what are our options if he is found too financially stable to get a public one? He has been in custody for months.

having studied such outreach efforts—i think the real secret sauce is Mamdani’s popularity. (sheer number of tickets on offer is also impressive!) Others have done culture passes, discount/free tix codes for first timers, low income, young ppl etc but they can be surprisingly difficult to promote
