I'm currently on the Sierra Club website (in their store). Buying pretty things (hey, Christmas is coming) while giving money to an environmental cause? Count me even more in than usual!
What you did to me was unbelievable, Connor. But then I got stuck in a hell dimension by my girlfriend one time for a hundred years, so three months under the ocean actually gave me perspective. Kind of a M.C. Escher perspective, but I did get time to think.

I was going to say -- want me to call the credit card company, shrift? I AM READY.
Ha ha, I am also feeling pugnacious. I stormed over to my credit card account and checked the alerts, and my card was fine!

That sounds like great news, Jesse. Good luck.

Much luck, Jesse!
I'm at a bit of a loss w/rt work. What we do is very important and helpful, I feel; but having the apricot demagogue at the top of the chain of command is going to be a real problem for me.
Especially since I'm tangentially involved in a complaint about a sexual harrassment case at work, and frankly, the behavior I complained about is so much less than anything the AD apparently has gotten away with for decades. So... how do we provide a safe, professional environment when the guy in charge doesn't feel obligated to behave appropriately?

I keep having fantasies of taking self-defense classes and literally kicking ass. Unlikely, given my budget and Fibromyalgia. But, it really would feel good to punch someone in their smug, trump-loving face. or throat. or groin.

I think there needs to be a push to teach girls self-defense so they can take down gropers. And stop apologizing for it.

Absolutely.

And unfortunately, accept that some of said gropers may respond with violence. Accept you may get hurt, but hurt them back, hard, and press charges. Once assault has begun, the rules of the high road are out the window.
