 often blamed. If you get mugged you never get asked “what were you wearing?”  Survivors of sexual assault are asked what they wore, why were they there, what were they drinking, and why were you alone with him?  These are invalidating. Even children can be dismissed or blamed. There was a child porn case recently and someone commented about how photographs aren’t victims. I was a victim of child porn so this triggered me. Sure the photographs aren’t victims but they are of real human beings who are. Then how often when a female teacher sleeps with an underage student does it stand that “he came on to her”?It was incredible! Zeeko’s and Shantel’s acting was terrific! The episode was incredibly well written and very heavy on top of how to deal with your emotions while on a job, and the victim went through a similar experience where she was not ready to tell the whole truth because she was embarrassed. 

While Zeeko clearly stole the show as OA, I was focused on the interactions he had with Nina, now I love Nina and that is probably why, but also because she seemed a little off and I wanted to figure out why. Their interactions while they mainly focused on OA’s emotions you could see that Nina was going through a similar thing. I mean not as recently or as bad as OA, but you could tell through her eyes and facial expressions that she either worked very close on a similar case or that she has gone through something similar to what the girl has gone through. Now I could be completely wrong considering Nina has only got two more episodes that we know of left, but i’m fairly certain that something has happened to her, mainly because of that big temotional talk her and OA had (Now one of my favorite scenes in the whole show) and how she was tearing up. We saw something similar to this in “Ghost of the Past” and we got a confirmation about what happened to her and how she could relate to OA on a similar level (Again it wasn’t as bad, but still)

One of my favorite things about this episode was that while it was an OA focused episode, there wasn’t one set character where their screentime stood out. All the characters were equally important to the storyline and we got to see the entire team work as a whole instead of seeing one character or partnership take a hold of the episode to a point we dont really see the other parnership or some of the side characters.My mom used to tell me this story about her grandfather back in the Philippines. She said he was a fisherman when he was still alive so he'd be up very early to cast his nets and lines and such. And during the wee hours of the morning while fishing, he would periodically see a "mermaid" perched up on a rock just off the coast. So one day, he decided to bring an M1 Garand that came into his possession after the end of WW2. He cast his nets and lines, waited a while, and sure enough the mermaid emerged out of the water and onto the rock that it basked on just off the shore. My great grandad then took aim with the rifle and shot all 8 rounds of 30-06 at the mermaid. He claims to have struck the mermaid when he fired his rifle, but then again, my great grandfather was an alcoholic, so who knows?À l’échelle internationale, certains pays se distinguent par leur utilisation de la technologie et par le degré élevé de pénétration des programmes obligatoires de virement direct.

Here are photos from the West Virginia National Guard's response to Hurricane Sandy.

W.Va. Army National Guard Staff Sgt. Christopher Hamrick, the CBRNE non-commissioned officer assigned to CERFP in Eleanor, points out the structural damage incured to a gas station in Summersville, W.Va. after Hurricane Sandy dropped two feet of snow on the mountainous region. Hamrick and others have been working diligently to assess structural damages throughout Nicholas County caused by a combination of heavy snow and weak structural support..The Three Questions
Today, Lindsey recommends a book that I have been meaning to purchase (given my love for Zen Shorts and Zen Ties):
Last night, in an unusual moment, both children sat with me on the couch for a book. Without interruption. They were rapt. That a single book could speak to them both, and so powerfully, is very rare. That it could also speak powerfully to me is almost unheard of.
The book was The Three Questions, written and illustrated by Jon Muth. I've loved other books of Jon Muth's, notably Zen Shorts, and this book has been on our bookshelf for a while, but somehow we haven't read it in a long time (possibly ever). The book asks three essential questions: When is the best time to do things? Who is the most important one? What is the right thing to do?
With beautiful watercolor illustrations and Muth's trademark magical mixing of the human and animal worlds, The Three Questions addresses nothing less than how to be a good person in this world. As young Nikolai tries to figure out his three questions, he consults his friends: a heron, a monkey,and a dog. Finally, unable to find a satisfactory answer, he seeks the wisest person he knows: a turtle.
Nikolai's visit to the turtle turns out to be more involved than he thought, and eventually includes a storm and a lost baby panda. The turtle weaves Nikolai's three questions together with their experience into a compelling, beautiful moral. The answers to Nikolai's three questions are Zen-inspired and simple, yet essential and inspirational at the same time. The Three Questions is a lovely tale of a young boy asking big questions, and of the guides his open mind allows him to find. The message is meaningful for all ages, and the book itself is stunningly beautiful.It's time for the weirdest season on-record for #mubb to kick-off. We start off by talking about the swirl of external events around the basketball season and how they will impact the shape of the season to come. We also discuss what a delay to the season may look like if it happens. We then discuss the news that Jose Perez is available to play this season, via waiver, and what that might mean for the team. We then discuss the upcoming games, how they might turn out, and what we think the results will be.

Why the long face?Posted 4 years ago
Single file on busy roads… which is pretty much all my commute, and I’m guessing the same goes for most other commuters on here.?
And why does this advice seem to directly contradict government backed cycle training which talks about taking the lane in such circumstances?Posted 4 years ago?
It is vague, no doubt.
My thinking is that most ‘main’ roads, especially urban roads, can adequately be classified as busy roads. From a cyclist’s perspective I can see how drivers consider two abreast on these roads to be antagonistic to other road users.Posted 4 years ago

Of course, but realistically would those drivers find two cyclists riding single file in the primary any less antagonistic?
What they really want is cyclists to be in the gutter, out the way, ideally off the road entirely.Posted 4 years ago

I agree with that.
I’ve heard drivers ending bike-related stories with ‘and those idiots were riding two-abreast!!!!’ on several occasions (this mostly being in Cornwall).
My opinion? If I want drivers to consider me and not behave like bellends then I should try to reciprocate… which is why I don’t do two-abreast when riding with mates…Posted 4 years ago
and those idiots were riding two-abreast!!!!
if the riders weren’t two abreast wouldn’t they just find something else to end their rant with?
No helmet/hi-viz/bell/roadtax/insurance/licence plate etc etc!!!!!1!!1!
Not saying you should ride 2 abreast, I’m just not sure you pandering to their current whim will necessarily help.
if these are the same people who want cyclists off the road entirely than they need re-educating* not placating.

**not by me, I’m not even a keyboard warrior let alone a real life one.
The main problem I have when driving is two-breast on narrow country lanes HTF am i supposed to get past?
I do a lot of road riding (on the MTB) but even with friends we stay single file I’m sorry but two-breast on narrow country lanes is just being a bloody pain in the back side 👿Posted 4
