The question here was something like “Which of these are possible warning signs that an inmate [their term] has experienced abuse?”
My coworker giddily took a pic of her laptop screen when she saw one of the potential responses.

What’s interesting (“interesting”), too, is: right wing discourse and comment trolls are ALSO framing Hong’s restaurant as a “failed business” when it was open for 7+ years and survived the height of Covid.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics puts that ahead of the average.

Our dog is being a bit of a pill since oldest kid left for a summer roadtrip with friends a couple days ago (and the whole household dynamic is now—to the dog— inexplicably “weird”). But, gosh, she sure is cute.

From an article about charges being dropped in Harvey Weinstein’s New York rape case.
If anyone is still operating under the delusion that the criminal legal system is, in any way, equipped to address and/or redress the impact of sexual violence on survivors and communities: [*gestures*]

![[Weinstein’s victim], a hairstylist an actor, spent days on the witness stand at all three trials, telling jurors that Weinstein raped her in a Manhattan hotel in 2013 — and being questioned extensively about the complex relationship she had with him before and afterward. The Oscar-winning producer denied the charge and said everything that happened between him and [the survivor] was consensual.
In a letter that prosecutor Nicole Blumberg quoted in court Thursday, [the survivor] said she could “no longer endure going through this,” adding that the 8-year-old case has “put me through more harm than good.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:v7e2mavuqgjnludex7csmdhn/bafkreibwnzpk2kh6ltdzvs2l6bx7xwuoqzegkzlldorlglrzlhnndqvz74)

My 17-year-old has gone to a little, weeklong filmmaking camp the past five summers.
This year, she and her friend made a slasher short, set at prom. It’s nonstop incredible shots like this one, of which she said: “IDK. Someone accidentally stepped on the mirror and we didn’t have another one 🤷🏼♀️”

During all our summer tabling events, my agency (an anti-violence org) is informally collecting community input on what makes them feel safe to dispute the popular narrative that it’s policing and surveillance.

My 17-year-old is taking a US government class in high school.
They just watched a documentary about the failed Supreme Court nomination of Robert Bork as a catalyst for McConnell’s decades-long “revenge” plot.
