Go Gracie!

he did sexual assault one of his family members for 10 years. This is among his violent acts besides assaulting a police officer.

Seriously? How does this not weigh against him?!

I can't take all the assholery!!!!! Aaaaaaaaaagh!!!!!!!!!!!!

how are things going with the low glycemic thing?

I've worked out eating in, not really worked hard at eating out. I'll blame hospital for that. I'm going to give it a couple weeks minimum to see if there's less average pain--I never really tied migraines to possible blood sugar, but if it was moving faster than the headaches could, I'd not really see immediate cause and effect.

I had forgotten how fucking prissy my stomach was, though, and what it's like when it's in charge. Jesus. I doubt I'll go back down to fighting size, but some weight has gone with the initial shift.

And for stupid fucking reasons (computer issues, probably) I couldn't fill my anti-nausea prescription last time I tried. They gave me two pills. Thanks to hospital, though, I've only used one. Next one now, so hopefully I can eat something not picked off a bush.

I'm sure for some it's a purely racist thing, i.e. TM being black makes him a thug and therefore it's reasonable that Zimmerman was assaulted.

That's slightly more positive than my view. TM was black and so it was reasonable for Z to stalk and then kill him. Or, not reasonable, but legal enough.

Which might be why I hate the world. It's so broken.

Doesn't help that Dad and I stayed a mile or two from there when we went to Daytona for the last time and were there the night of the attack. Although I didn't hear anything until we were flying out. But that area? I'm not even surprised. Horrified, but not surprised.

Sexual assault isn't violence, apparently.

The police officer assault was sexual? This is where my blinders become visible to everyone...

Megan played a match at UC Irvine today (at 7) and since they were flying out of a private airfield right after the match we didn't make an effort to see each other. SoCal is frustrating like that. And now she's on her way to Sacramento or something?

I had a strange guy walk two feet to my right in the parking structure and then adjust to be walking two feet away from me on my left. Dude, it's late, we're alone, we've never me, GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY REACTION ZONE. Do you not have female friends? Then I realised--I've never told a guy to not do that to some woman he doesn't know. Someone is telling them, though, right?

And all I could think of is SNAG who would make that about Trayvon somehow. So I didn't say it where I might have said it two years ago.

I have discussed this with Emmett.

Nyet. The sexual assault times were different. [link] There is probably a better link and I didn't reread this one to be sure it was totally topical.

I haven't told a lot of guys this. But that is not smart because someone really ought to be telling them. And maybe trying to make the world different so it wasn't even a thing, but that's a longer game plan. A good one, but much longer term.

I've provoked a campus security incident on account of a security guy being creeptastic and the antithesis of what campus security should be. Sure, approach a lone female in an underground, dark garage and ask her 'is this your earring?' Cue Criminal Minds theme. I told him to back off BEING CREEPY and then contacted the security office. It's pathetic.

Granted, they were really responsive to my critique, but JEEZUSFUCKINGCHRIST, I had to school JHU CAMPUS SECURITY?!! This had never come across their radar before? REALLY? IDEK.

Sarameg, your story just makes me think how sometimes people who are creepy and evil and get off on power and abusing it try to become cops and if they fail become security guards. Ahem.

aaghhhhhh

Sooooo stressyyyyyyyy

My insomnia was gone for weeks. It was bliss. Now between the heat and some serious anxiety it's baaaa aaaaaaaaaack.

oh trudy.

I think some men are really oblivious about maintaining appropriate personal space. I don't fuck around with shit like that, so I will go into a store I don't need to enter to get some distance if I have to.
