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.

to the Cornell victim: you are so precious and important. you did nothing wrong. you deserve to be surrounded in safety by those who love you; you've always deserved that.

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.

literally hearsay is evidence that supports a claim. they are necessarily two separate things and will always be.

What? I didn’t say anything about a coverup - I’m discussing knowledge of punishment. What is with all the weird responses defending Cornell without even seeming to be able to read?

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.

Disclosure by *Cornell* is prohibited, but that doesn't preclude the accused (or anyone else) from sharing that information, and it's documented in the complaint, so I'm not sure what the point is in trying to undermine that claim.

Robert Caro might be America’s Best List Writer. Such rhythm and poetics in every word choice. (yes, I’m STILL reading the Power Broker)
Most of New York’s great triumphal
processions began there; it was at the Battery that Wiley Post came ashore, and Admiral Byrd, and Gertrude Ederle, and Amelia Earhart, and Coste and Bellonte — and, of course, Lindbergh, slim, bareheaded Lindbergh — to be greeted by Grover Whalen and to ride in an open car between mounted policemen “the short and glorious mile” up a Broadway whose canyons were swirling with confetti.

I am looking for a free or cheap space for 100 people in the Bronx. It needs to be wheelchair accessible and close to public transportation. Need it from 10am to 5pm on a Saturday. Appreciate any real leads. Thanks so much.

can confirm that those words came out of the kid’s mouth. i then told him that there were more cadabras in his pants to convince him to stop running around with them around his ankles and it seems to have worked.
