Man I don't even watch the show and can understand how awful that outfit is
At some point (ok, after like 2 posts) I just reported one of the posts like that saying something like (not verbatim), "There's multiple people in this thread saying this shit and it's a fucking cesspool, do something about it" instead of wasting my time reporting all the posts saying "I don't watch the show lol but I'm going to comment on how it looks fine anyway because I'm a passive misogynist with male privilege." My blood was boiling.
I expected a sea of red bars, but there's only one so far and it was for a personal attack. That's pathetic. I'm glad Nepenthe finally stepped in and further posts out of line will be moderated, but it's insane that it took that long.
That's ridiculous. There was also an obvious victim blaming of Kavanugh's victim in PoliERA by someone who was previously banned for calling Kim K "community pussy." I reported it. Nothing happened.
Yeah I could only make it to like 20 replies before rolling my eyes and leaving, props to you for bringing more awareness to it though.
I'm not going to lie, the Handmaid's thread made me debate quitting this forum. I obviously didn't, but threads like that are so exhausting.
I've quit so many people and communities at this point that I'd have pretty much nothing left if I quit this place.
Maybe you have seen this series already, but I recommend watching the fall where Gillian Anderson plays Stella Gibson. And I have rarely seen a portrayal of a professional woman that I like better.
I watched like half of the show... and it got way too much for me, I couldn't handle the violence.
I really enjoyed Gillian Anderson performance, she was really great. I hated the violence and details so much, I just gave up wanting to like the show.
I honestly feel the same really, it really highlights how difficult it is to deal with issues that affect us without being admonished
I did enjoy the Fall with the details and Gillian Anderson's acting of the role though I disliked the violence on some levels it could have and has been handled a lot worse in the past like in Spiral and The Killing, and the Returned. The writer argues that it is not exploitative as it avoids sexualising violence and dehumanising the victims.
Howdy! I didn't know this OT existed until I was invited. Nice to see that there are indeed dozens of us.
Women in brazil is fighting with all our strenghts so that a sexist, racist and lgbtphobic asshole don't become the president.
We had some awesome mobilization last saturday all over the country and will have another this saturday since the first round of brazilian elections is this sunday. So many women mobilizating that even Madonna posted a #EleNão hashtag.
It is exausting to arguee with his asshole fans but going in one of the walks and being in the middle of so many awesome women of all ages, shapes and colors was one of the most energizing things I did in a long time.

Having that kind of President is just awful. We're with you ladies in the US.
So I had that appointment today with the rheumatologist (mentioned here a couple months ago when it was scheduled). Since I have no swelling or excess fluid anywhere, and the blood tests were all normal, she didn't want to do fluid or blood testing. She did do some x-rays though to see if there were any markers showing up there. If anything, they will show if there's any progress for my osteoarthritis, which is nice since my last x-rays for those were three years ago when I was first diagnosed. She spent a half hour with me going over my history and any possibilities with that. She was good in that she didn't state any conclusions, but I think she was skeptical I have anything in her purview. That's nice, since a lot of these disorders are just nasty, but it doesn't explain why I got osteoarthritis at 27 years old. My body just might be shit, I guess.
Also, when I went to get the x-rays, the radiologist said, "You look like you're 14! Are you sure you're 30?" :(

Hi all,
I'm new to this thread. Just wanted to say hello. The past two weeks have been really hard for me. A lot of emotions have been stirred up.
I feel like I've dealt with my past. I was sexually assaulted twice. But what's been plaguing me is how hard the proccess of coming forward was. After the second assault, I went to an advocate who helped me decide to go to the police. The police were less than kind (until I recorded a comfession). What has been making me boil is that this happens to so many people. I was lucky because I got a confession. But the year-long ordeal was beyond difficult. After years of therapy and great strides in life I'm suddenly overcome with rage. It feels strange not knowing how to calm down sometimes or if I even want to calm down. Idk. Anyone elsw feeling this way?
Anyways, I've just been really going through it and thought I'd share with y'all.

I'm too tried to say anything clever right now except to give *hugs* to all of you. Stay strong :( <3
Thanks ... I am needing it because we are fucked.
"John Oliver dedicated an end section on other country because how fucked they are" fucked.
Thank you for sharing your story. I've felt that way about other stuff, but I've fortunately never been sexually assaulted. I consider myself extremely lucky in that regard. Hugs to you. <3
Yes I do recognise the sudden flaring up of emotions around a traumatic experience that I thought I dealt with. My conclusion is that there are different levels of healing. Rational and emotional. Rational is the easiest for me, but the emotional level is buried deep and can surface literally decades later. I bring my attention to these emotions and tell myself that they are not there to hurt me, but just want to be felt. Afterwards I feel more complete somehow.
It isn't easy so a big hug for you.
Well my back xray results are back. There's some evidence of cartilage wear and they are unclear as to whether it's inflammatory or not. Want me to do an mri which I'm ok with. I had an xray and mri done of my back 5ish years ago and it didn't show diddly so I'm surprised.
No, but they're gonna do an mri of my back anyway as the xrays were inconclusive.
Do you know what they're looking for? I mean are they looking for confirmation on a specific diagnosis?
Nope, they're just trying to see what is there.
It's necessary but it can really be an energy drain. Hope they figure something out soon. Once you know what your dealing with you get some sense of control over your situation.
Thanks. I think my body is just shit. Which can feel pretty shitty in of itself as opposed to knowing you have a certain condition.
