Why are women tasked with responding to this?
Why not ask prominent Democratic men about this?
According to the FBI Crime Report, men represent 91% of those perpetrating sexual assault. Ask some men about the allegations since this is just a waddyathinkaboutit story.
I don't know who's assigning these stories or why any reporter's agreeing to do them, but the one person you want to ask about Tara Reade is Joe Biden. Not Emily's List, PP or any other group that will include myriad women who are rape survivors. This is targeting women. Stop it.
During the Anita Hill hearings I was asked by my editor at SPIN to write a piece insinuating Hill was a lesbian. Sen. Alan Simpson had referred to her "proclivities"--a widely used euphemism. I refused. I was told it would be a cover. I still refused. You CAN say no to this crap.

Power out from from the storm.
Oxygen machine out.
PECO has numerous outages.
Scared af.
The Wife is home safely. She says there is a gigantic tree down at the top of our block. That is the source of the outage. 😣😭 The PECO crew told her they will have to run a new line once the tree is removed.

I would love the universe to cut me a little slack for a bit.
The top of our street. Part if the tree has been removed.

Many of you have kindly asked after my health. Thank you. I am finally doing a bit better. I had a bad weekend and Monday, but Wednesday I started to feel like I have turned a corner. It has been 22 days since I got sick. I've had fever, coughing, GI symptoms, headache.>>>

I lost my voice mid-point. Last week I developed blisters on my lips and in my mouth, like with chemo. I did not have hallucinations but I did have vivid dreams. I did not have the "frostbite" on my hands and feet. I had intense night sweats the 1st ten days, but they stopped.

I've had a lot of emotion, but tbf, I started menopause a few months ago & that's an emo torture. Hard to discern which is that & which is the virus. I think the worst part is the shortness of breath, the fever & exhaustion. (GI stuff was terrible as long as it lasted, tho.)

Today has been such a terrible day that pre-#pandemic I would have asked for cute animals. But I know all of you are also having superlatively bad days and also deserve cute animals. We are all living in a time of wrenching grief and loss and collective trauma. It's gutting.

Years ago, when she was far too young to die, I watched my mother suffocate to death. It was brutal. She wasn't really conscious, but I knew she could feel it. I am heartbroken for everyone who has lost someone to this disease and to that kind of death. We all deserve better.

It's a terrifying time. It'd be slightly less so if we had a leader who put the country 1st. It would be slightly less so if we were told our losses mattered. I held my mother's hand. My sister sat with her through the night. My mother didn't die alone. We don't have that now.
