NO, NYC PUBLIC LIBRARIES ARE NOT "FULLY FUNDED" despite what the influencers on social media are regurgitating. Our libraries remain UNDER-FUNDED. Library workers need to be paid MORE MONEY, we need more funds for collections, we need more funds for programming & for capital expenses.

The reality in this country is that the VAST majority of people who experience sexual violence will never tell the cops. Ever. This born out by all statistics but if you've survived sexual violence you also know this from your personal experience. There are many reasons for this. But again...

Many on here and elsewhere can get very loud when particular cases are in the news. But that will die down and what will remain are the many victims and survivors who need support, resources and to be believed. I've said more than I intended because I no longer discuss this stuff online.

A thread of replies on Twitter dated Sep 7, 2018.

@blanchardphd tweet: I've reviewed my share of manuscripts for scholarly journals. If I thought an author's language was ridiculous (eg, "gender assigned at birth" for "sex"), I might say so, but I never wrote that an author *must* use this language or *must not* use that.

@2damntrans reply: BOFA are particularly bad at this.

But wanting that does not mean I suddenly have to accept them having a large public platform where they can choose to talk about anything and everything EXCEPT their sexual assault. I certainly don't have to accept these things in the name of "rehabilitation" and "restorative justice."

The possibility that these people be allowed to exist in the world and atone for their wrongdoings AWAY from the public eye, and with no ability to be a public figure in the future, is somehow seen as being just as punitive as sending someone to prison, and like. Why?

Relevant to current events though not exclusively applicable to them, but I'm really sick of how any time a public figure is outed for doing some heinous shit, people talk about their ability to have a large public platform as if it is one and the same as restorative justice or rehabilitation.

TL;DR: Restorative justice probably doesn't mean what you think it does; no one is entitled to forgiveness; and forgiveness probably also doesn't mean what you think it does.

I am usually a fan of the idea of restorative justice, but recently, after seeing this concept only getting invoked by the worst people on the planet, perhaps just feeding everyone to the guillotine wouldn't be that bad after all.

For starters, I think that almost all people get the concept wrong, the "restorative" in "restorative justice" is not mean to refer to the the perpetrator in the sense that it is about restoring their name, reputation, social standing, wealth, etc.

The "restorative" part actually means that it is up to the perpetrator to give their utmost to make amends and undo the damage he did to whatever degree is possible to them.

Naturally, this is not always possible; an American or "Israeli" soldier cannot unkill the people he has murdered, which is why I personally am of the belief that forgiveness is impossible for veterans.

However, even if you do your best to make amends, you are in no way ever entitled to forgiveness, especially not if you commit a crime as horrifying as rape. But even by the off chance that you made amends, did everything for the sake of your former victim, and are indeed forgiven, forgiveness does not mean that everything will return to the old status quo, and frankly, if you don't get why that is, then you will probably never be deserving of forgiveness at all.

It honeslty just shows me how much rape culture exists. With James Somerton, we all collectively agreed he didn’t deserve a platform anymore, and he disappeared. I’m sure he’s got some job somewhere, living a life. But an admitted rapist, well, he we must forgive, because some of us liked his stuff.

"Yes, he may have made a mistake, but he's changed. He's a good man who does good things. He's a pillar of the community. Surely it's not worth ruining a man's life." Dressing this up in leftist jargon and invoking "rehabilitative justice" doesn't actually change what you're saying btw

This is actually really insightful because like-- I think fascists, cops, soldiers, snitches can all choose to be better. But I think it is widely understood that people who have done those things should not be trusted with power again; removing that is a necessary part of being safe around them.

Are you defined by your worst moments and choices forever and ever? No. You can work to be better. But part of that work has to involve never being in a position of trust you could abuse after you have shown that you are willing to abuse it, and that's plainly necessary with rapists as well.

We've seen a lot of janitorial etc uniforms that actually look a lot like the Rebel pilot jumpsuits -- with straps and a tech button piece in the center. Note that the rebel pilots do not have REAL space-sealed suits like the Imperial pilots do. They're flying in janitorial scrubs.

Why on earth would the incipient Rebellion buy/make the same uniforms for everyone? Makes more sense that the orange jumpsuits are the corporate assigned fatigues of workers and test pilots at an Incom factory, and when they unionized and escaped the crackdown, they kept the uniforms.

The Star Wars retcon I dream about making canon is that the white human rebel pilots are all wearing orange jumpsuits not because they all defected from the ranks of the same military formation, but because they were *union men* at a specific construction yard, who escaped w/ shipments of X-wings.
