I was going to try to keep this light, but more than one woman I know left work early today because they were so upset by the Kavanaugh hearing, and more and more of my friends and people I love have posted their stories of surviving sexual abuse.
Everything I have tried to type here seems insufficient, so I will just say to anyone reading who has survived a sexual assault: I see you. I hear you. I believe you.
If you can, consider donating to RAINN.
Don’t read the comments. Take care of yourselves. ❤️

Thank you. I was a mess on Thursday and Friday, and just about everyone I know was too.

I meant to write a comment about this when I read it the first time, but since it’s relevance has not faded and will be just as important today, tomorrow, and many decades to follow…I just want to say thank you! We all need someone to see us, to hear us, and believe us. And we also need to be that someone for each other.
