Thank you, Aimee. And to your mom and your husband and all the people who have loved you and stood by you, thank you.
This is brilliant.
I once received a spam comment that was so perfectly suited to my modd and the post that I gave it an approving nod, then I cracked up at my self.
That is so odd. I hope they clear this up soon. The only upshot is that I feel like those of us who do interact with you know the sorts of things you are drawn to and the beliefs that you hold. That being said, this is still an incredible violation.
@belllindsay I loathe QR codes, in large part because they have so far been like FB a few years ago. Everyone seems to think they need them but they are poorly executed and not yet adopted by audiences here. If they take off, great, but if they don't I'd love for them to go away.
Quitting is easy. When I work out I have a constant stream of chatter to keep me going. Sometimes I tell myself I'mm putting time in the bank, setting myself up for an easier longer life, other times I tell myself that I am proving wrong every person who has ever hurt me. But man, I do get the quitting thing. It just isn't worth the self-loathing. You can do this!
I hope you find peace. HUgs.
Looking forward to the resolution recap, may it be swift and succinct.
Chelsea was staying on message, a poor message, but what she was directed to do I am sure.
I think we have as a society, a whole lot of work to do before this can be taken seriously. I have three daughters and could go on without pause for hours in describing how hard it is, even at 4, 6 and 7, to keep them from being hypersexualized just by buying clothes (padding in toddler swim suits?).
Flirting, attractiveness, power through sex, all of these things are valued too consistently and promoted across so many platforms to all ages to allow young people to make good decisions that relate to safety. Older people will claim it's the parents' responsibility. It's a nightmare.
It would be great if someone could speak plainly and say, "Rape." and then, "Neither age, nor circumstances nor gender are germane. Rape is why we are shutting it down" As someone who was raped at 17 I know, we don't like the word rape, and we really don't like the people who say it or who make us say it.
Great post. Sorry to be so ranty.
Thanks for always cutting through the bull shit, though I would offer that douche seems like a slur we could move beyond. Falling back on gender based slams is kind of lazy.
