It’s wild seeing people act like reacting negatively to a rapist is some vestige of the carceral state. As if society’s problem is, or ever has been, taking violence against women TOO seriously.

Restorative justice requires recognition of harm. Jacob Geller becoming a YouTuber less than 2 years after his suspension for rape, knowing that his crime was fresh in dozens of peoples’ minds yet still trying to keep it a secret, tells me that he doesn’t recognize the seriousness of his crime.

This is after she referred to Francesca Ramsey, a full grown woman, as “girl” in an equally contemptuous way WHILE framing Francesca as an angry black woman. Seemingly because she confused her with a different person. Unreal.

It's wonderful that the early COG videos containing misinformation have been delisted! I hope that contrary to what she said, she does watch Schmowder's video and see his call to donate the recent back and forth motivated adsense to OurVoice, as the victims have said is the best way to support them.

A child victim lying to protect her abuser not only common but it’s an intrinsic part of the grooming process. d4vd’s friends believing that his victim was 19 has, at best, zero probative value

For the last few years right wing social media has been saturated with misinfo saying that every mass shooter has been trans. Despite claiming to believe this, they weren’t galvanized til a trans shooter actually happened. Makes me doubt that they believe the conspiracy theories they spread

I still can’t believe that learning that drake was abused was such a revelation for her. It’s baffling that a supposed sexual violence activist seemingly never heard of the cycle of violence. I just don’t understand how she could so completely avoid thinking about why abuse happens

As a trans gun owner, I don’t love all of the advocacy for trans gun ownership following the “ban.” Suicide is our biggest threat. Owning a firearm is THE factor that determines whether a suicidal person survives. For anyone with a recent history ideation, gun ownership is almost never worth it

Boys Don’t Cry is one of the most hateful movies that I’ve ever seen. I believe that the director was trying to be empathetic, but it’s staggeringly cruel. I’ve had multiple trans men tell me that they delay their transition for years after watching it.

It’s weird how companies are harvesting personal data. Yet, whenever I’ve worked with companies catching insurance fraudsters, the data reports are absolutely garbage. They often get addresses wrong. If you don’t have public social media tied to your name, your insurer won’t know what you look like

Renunciation oil on canvas panel 20 x 24 The road to human development is paved with renunciation. Throughout our life we grow by giving up. - JUDITH VIORST Get the art: www.lolajovan.com/store/p771/r... #art #painting #figurative #femaleportrait #oilpainting Story-ALTtext⬇️

A woman in a kimono leans forward, hand at her throat, emotional, unsighted.

The quote continues:

“ We give up some of our deepest attachments to others. We give up certain cherished parts of ourselves. We must confront, in the dreams we dream, as well as in our intimate relationships, all that we never will have and never will be. Passionate investment leaves us vulnerable to loss. And sometimes, no matter how clever we are, we must lose… It is only through our losses that we become fully developed human beings”

I've been contemplating loss.

Loss in the wider world (human rights, decency, compassion, freedom), how those losses impact my small world, and also the losses associated with living a life.

Some attachments are willingly forgone - it was nothing to embrace a vegetarian lifestyle many years ago, for example. A joy, even, which continues today. Some attachments are severed, rather than given up - when people leave or physical abilities vanish in the blink of an eye (or at the blunt end of an accident). And some attachments erode slowly over time, until one day you wake up and realize they are gone, whatever (or whoever) they were.

In my best moments of loss-wrangling, I have embraced the empty space, allowing it to be just that - empty - knowing it creates room for opportunity.

And in my worst moments of navigating loss I have held on with clenched fists, breathless and bracing myself, resisting the inevitable. It never goes well.

When I look back on all of the embraced empty spaces and what they have become, I am dazzled, gobsmacked and bowled over by the joy, the fortune, the pure magic of what came to fill those spaces. And if I focus on that, the next renunciation is easier, more graceful and more peaceful.

I am unsure how this works with the wider world and those losses, but I am contemplating it, allowing space for something, anything to make those losses feel like openings

Finally done with Jax’s aromatic cedar frame. I brought her portrait to her vigil and found that people wanted to touch it. So, I carved the frame to be comforting to touch. Plus the grooves help hide my awful joinery skills #art #embroidery
