Christa Pike was a victim of sexual abuse from the time she was a toddler. Rather than see her as a traumatized child, the juvenile system labeled her delinquent and denied her the care & protection she needed. This is true of many people facing execution. But Pike was so young. A horribly sad case.

After 30 years on death row, Christa Pike faces execution for a grisly murder she committed at 18.

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. 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.

My feed is full of Christa Pike and Jane Doe, really highlighting that there’s no safe way to be a woman.

if we were numerate enough--if we understood how many women and girls are made sacrifice to the altar of promising young men with bright futures--we might not survive it. accounting for that loss will take the rest of my life, and yours. but we've got to; that's the only way of killing the thing.

I haven't had anything to add re: Cornell, because I don't think anyone wants to use this space to reckon with the fact that none of these systems are meant to help you, unless you are a university seeking to minimize your legal exposure. It's not fair to ask strangers to reckon with that here.

You know when public attention can reverse a prosecutorial decision like this you almost get the sense that the decision to shrug it off in the first place was not based on an assessment of the quality of the evidence so much as an assessment of the seriousness of the crime.

According to the most rigorous studies, 10.8% of college men perpetrate at least one rape before graduation. This statistic always comes to mind when I see men in power reacting with disgust to the idea that one of their peers could face even a shred of accountability.

Not lost on me that the high profile "they were right, and i fucked up" apologies have come from women (goldberg, klein) and not from the podbros who are arguably more responsible for this bugfuck mess than anyone else other than the candidate himself.

When someone says, “The timing is suspect” about a victim of rape or sexual assault coming forward when the perpetrator is on the cusp of grasping power or notoriety, they are telling you they have not cared enough about sexual violence to have learned why that pattern exists.

Graham Platner was "vetted" by Dan Moraff, a man kicked out of Pittsburgh DSA for sexual assault. You cannot have rapists in your tent because they will surround themselves with people who are also abusers or enablers, so they get away with more abuse. There are too many examples of this.

Believe Women is an epistemological stance. It doesn't mean you assume that every single woman is telling the truth and women never lie. It means you understand that in the system that we exist in, there's much more risk and pain for women coming forward about abuse than there is anything to gain.

maybe this is why @vassar.bsky.social doesn’t require math classes
19th Century Sophomore Trig Ceremonies at Vassar College.

In the 19th Century at Vassar After the first semester, to celebrate their completion of the rigorous and detested Trigonometry course, a committee selected by the sophomores would write and perform an original drama to initiate the freshmen class into the study. These Were called the Sophomore Trig Ceremonies.
The 1887 Trig Ceremony is the setting of one of the only surviving pictures of the Trig Ceremonies. An alarming group of five masked people with trigonometry elements on to their clothing, hold hands and circle around two figures on the ground who appear to be dead.
They are Adam and Eve, who are tempted to eat the apple of Trig in the Garden of Eden.

Reminder that accusers don’t actually “press charges,” that’s a choice made by prosecutors, that it is far from a sure bet that a prosecutor will do so even if that’s what a survivor wants and that most rape survivors choose not to report because of the legal system’s hostility to survivors.

One of my hardest-won political lessons is that it’s never, ever worth it to treat ppl as ~indispensable no matter what they do~ —bc we *see* the contributions & potential of the abusive men & we don’t get to see that in the women they drive out. We never actually get to know what we’ve squandered

the high-profile people who supported platner ignored the nazi tattoo, so a bunch of women came forward to report sketchy behavior, which they also ignored, until this woman had to come forward and tell her full story. i hope they do some reflecting on how and why they put her in that position

Jenny Racicot, matter-of-factly, on CNN: "I've thrown up three times today." If Platner had dropped out, or been pushed out, when the last round of DV allegations dropped, she wouldn't be in this position today. That she is, is on him and his supporters.
