Grin & Bear It @michelesliger.bsky.social · 12hJfc I’ve blocked at least 6 Julie bots who seem sure I want to better get to know an 18yo bi-curious kink freak. Why are all bots named Julie now? When did that become a thing? Here’s a cat who is not named Julie but who is the same color as Jorts whose name starts with a J: 020

But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun. 164179684470
