The police said she lied about being raped. Then she hit record.

Police didn’t believe a 12-year-old who said she'd been raped. Then she hit record.

We got in. The room was full to the back seats, so y’know, Trek’s still got it. I already miss Academy and its final season doesn’t premiere for five months. Whoever booked William Shatner’s hotel will either be fired or promoted.

⬇️
But as a doctor who treats children with mental health problems, I see screen time as a tantalizing distraction from bigger problems: America doesn't offer enough mental health care for children or sufficient health insurance to pay for it. If we make screens the villain, then we let the people who control children's health care — Congress, insurers and health systems - off the hook for the fact that half of American children with a treatable mental illness get no treatment at all.

there’s a lot of actually sensible curiosity about the minutiae of a US state-sponsored execution—who does lighting? are there ads? is there chat? who’s on crafts? is it multi cam? this is the actual banality of evil & if you are asked to facilitate this it is your task to instead stand in its way.
courtney love lies bleeding says:

who's gonna be the first company to sponsor that televised execution?
i am fascinated by the idea of ad breaks and what the cost will be.emily blight says:

this is the actual banality of evil shit. the person who provides the facilitator guide in an interactive pdf. is there a crafts table? someone will set that up.
you should not be one of these people.zoë “baddie proctor” quinn

there's gonna be a guy who does the sound check for the first livestreamed state execution. they'll probably have someone stand where the guy is gonna be shot to death by the state so that they can make sure the lighting, color, and framing is "correct" when people watch a man die.

some producer, probably within the next month, will decide if this man's death is a single camera setup or if they're going to do multi camera and if there will be
commentators. They probably have to design what will cover the faces of the shooters or look at headshots if there's no coverings at all

trying my best to stay out of rape discourse because the past few years have already been very hard & it seems like 60% of people are cool with a world with a little rape in it but whoever this was invented “manic pixie rape girl in the lives of the men they helped improve” & that sucks. it sucks.
I don't mean to downplay sexual assault but l also have known a lot of good people who had to learn healthy boundaries by violating someone else's and never forgetting the experience

CIA season 2 premieres in eight days, so I finally caught up on season 1. Utterly distracted by this wig in the finale and how much it made her look like Christine.
Two images of Christine Chapel in Strange New Worlds season four and two images of Toni Napier in CIA season one. The two women resemble each other strongly due to their blonde, wavy wigs with bangs (and their cheekbones).
