This moment between Paige and Arike 🥲 "I love Arike. She means the world to me"

- their moment, but that's all they should have - a moment. overempathizing with abusers is a trap. we should resist it.

- does not have the privilege to continue his community roles as one of the massive sources of spotlight. if we can't pour our empathy into the victim, let's at least pour into the women, the suvivors, every lovely little plant reaching for the sun. we can give our personal complicated feelings -

- of empathy. JG assaulted someone, completely altered a life, and strategically hid this information for a decade of his personal ascent. he entered community with thriving, talented women colleagues and interwove his and their reputations. it is not cruel or uncaring to say no, this person

1241

- OF ABUSE! and so i'll respond to this article in the same way I respond to myself - empathy does not = love or care. i want this person to get better, to access care, in the same way I want all sentient beings to receive healing and care. but i also must guard myself against a careless application

- empathy - every abuser can be empathized with. there are vanishingly few true sociopathic monsters outside the human fold. one of my core characteristic as a survivor of abuse is that i always, always look to the person's pain. their potential for growth. that's literally PART OF THE IMPRINT

cares for the victims. the impact of SA on a young person's life and growth and potential is INCALCULABLE. (fuck do i wish i didn't have to spend a lifetime trying to grow in spite of what i experienced, like a plant reaching through cracked sidewalks to the sun). and here's the tricky thing about -

1210

- regardless, in everyday life, there is no lack of empathy for abusers. instead: at every level, institutions absolutely POUR benefit of the doubt into men who rape their partners, colleagues, loved ones, strangers. time and time again, fear for somehow "spoiling a young man's potential" outweighs-

i really appreciate how this author analyzes her reaction with rigor and care, and it sounds like this resonated with lots of people. i also DEEPLY, fundamentally disagree with the "many truths can coexist" conclusion. look. maybe we associate lack of empathy with a kind of online pile-on dynamic -

The people who have hurt me most in the world. Who have caused me vicious, immeasurable harm. I desire no revenge or comeuppance. I simply wish they were better people, who would no longer cause that harm to others. And that this grants them all the peace and love and happiness in the world.

This sucks for many reasons. But I think it's worth emphasizing how selfish and duplicitous it is to go work with a public-facing, community-focused media org like MinnMax without disclosing this part of your past to them. (MinnMax confirmed to me they were not told.) Please support them if you can

if you are a dude and want to be an ally the answer is not in posting or spending money (though do that, sure) but in realizing how your presence can change the atmosphere of a room and that no one has any reason to know or care that you are “one of the good ones” and do what you can about that.

You've seen fireworks that look like jellyfish, but what about a jellyfish that looks like fireworks? The E/V Nautilus filmed this rare Halitrephes maasi jellyfish glowing like a firework at a depth of 4,019 feet (1,225 meters) off the coast of Baja California, Mexico. (📷: Ocean Exploration Trust)

Wow. I love women's sports. Don't make me cry and throw up tomorrow, aces.

playing competitive sports as I get older is such a blessing. being a sweaty dork tweaking my hip as I chase a basketball out of bounds is a blessing too. injuries come and go but damn I’ll do this till the wheels (joints, ligaments, appendages) fall off.

but also, i'm just doing some heartbroken knapkin strategy math. maybe it's ok just to be bummed. time to eat dinner and stare blankly at the pan!!!!

honestly, i think the lynx were doomed since phee's return - specifically THIS version of phee. pre-phee: miles + howard were LOCKED IN and the machine whirred surprisingly + wondrously. yes they hit the wall of healthy, TALL liberty. but really, their trust-in-phee pivot wasn't it. #wnba

time to be sad and make sad too-late stir fry. arouuu. #wnba

shutting down frat houses won't end rape culture, but it will disorganize a lot of rapists, and i think that's probably worth doing if only to destabilize what is apparently an ecology of organizations that functionally exist to rape women per the whole "purpose of a system is what it does" insight.

i know we're just trying to survive the series but i think benching miles at these inflection points is counterproductive. keep her out there and find the level she can be super effective at! it's going to worsen the hesitation problem keeping miles on the bench! #wnba
