Hello, again, new followers. I'm -this- close to finishing my dissertation. I spend a lot of time thinking about museums, community memory, history, sometimes politics, art, video games, baseball, but mostly my geriatric cat. Choco is pushing 19 years old, pretty deaf, and has vocal opinions.

No, they are just men. Regular, perfectly okay, decent men. I really rather like two of them. That's the thing, they aren't horrible excuses, they're just average, middle-aged men who struggle to comprehend the world they inhabit is not the same for others. I hope they'll digest what we said.

... their own, but they didn't. One looked like he might have, but the other two quickly changed the subject as if we weren't even standing there. This was an opportunity for sober reassessment of preconceived notions, but they couldn't even do sympathy. Men need to do better. Even the good ones.

... something might be safe and evaluating our situation. One woman volunteered that she had been assaulted three times, and this is our reality. This was an opportunity for these men, our colleagues, to volunteer compassion or express that they had no idea the situation for women was so unlike...

... in Canada, and when we get a creeped out feeling, sometimes it's because we either get a hinkey sense or they are triggering a memory from a previous assault. He looked like he might argue, so then all four of us talked about the experience of women constantly assessing whether someone or...

... and they were sort of having a chuckle and the one fellow suggested that if it had been another man trying to talk to the woman in question it would have been fine. So I piped up and explained that the young woman owed that man nothing and btw did you know 1 in 3 women are sexually assaulted...

TW: discussion about sexual assault

🧵 We, 3 women, joined 3 male colleagues and one silent woman, having a conversation about a young woman who was creeped out by a man who made her feel uncomfortable. The men, one in particular, were talking about how the young woman needed grow thicker skin...

Every day, every single day, I get dozens of people telling me I'm a self hating Jew because I think genocide is wrong. But I have never been a "my country, right or wrong" type, and that means my people too. And I don't hate being Jewish, but I hate what Judaism is being perverted to represent.

Oh ya. The side effects did not go away, but seemed to get worse. I was a mess. I tried for about a month but was getting so little sleep I thought I would become psychotic. It was wild. Oh, and all my skin tingled.

It has absolutely bonkers side effects for some of us. It effectively did the opposite for me, making me incredibly anxious and unable to sleep. I wasn't taking any other drugs at the time, so it was pretty clear what was causing it.

I can't even tell if the waiter is still here or if he's gone. No great loss if he's gone. Everyone else was competent.

Waiter discovered i already was holding a menu, joked i wasn't supposed to do his job.

He then fully forgot i exist. Me sitting for 15 minutes waiting for him to come back. So I just ordered from the busboy. Look, I will do his job, if I have to, and apparently so will everyone else.
