THREAD:

I asked twitter yesterday for resources on prison/police abolition that address sexual violence & domestic violence, and I’m going to share everything in a thread. These resources range from personal narratives to books to academic articles - it’s a wide range.
Survivors: if the mere idea of abolition (or analyzing our punishment for violence in general) makes you anxious, you do not need to grapple with this. It is not your responsibility to figure out how to heal the brokenness that has already heavily impacted you.

MPD 150 (@MPD_150) - lots of resources on their website mpd150.com, but I’m going to share this graphic of theirs specificslly because I’ve seen it going around a lot today and I think it’s a great summary of what abolishment is about:

I’ve been holding back from commenting on Title IX issues for the last couple years, because I am far from an expert. But today, I’m setting aside trying to be an expert and just talking about why, personally as a rape survivor, I’m seriously concerned about the new guidelines.
TW: sexual assault for a lot of this thread.

In 2014, I was raped. It happened in broad daylight during a tailgate party by a fellow student. It was extremely violent. When I ran onto the street, a fellow student told me I needed to go to the hospital. I called 911.
Without going into my whole story (although there’s a lot more information out there if you want it), reporting to the police did not go well. Responding officers rolled their eyes at me, and after hearing me describe how I had begged for my life, said I “should’ve just said no”.

Some of the best advice I’ve ever been given: “don’t take criticism from people you wouldn’t ever go to for advice”
ETA since some people are reading this very literally: this doesn’t mean that you don’t need to listen to criticism. Just that criticism from someone who’s unreasonable, doesn’t even know you, or is otherwise untrustworthy is probably not worth getting stressed over
Ok I know a lot of people retweeted this, and I love all of you, but I just saw that @KarenKilgariff did and it made this murderino’s day

TW: sexual violence & reporting

In 2014, a serial rapist/fellow college student raped me. I don’t want to go into details (but feel free to google if you are curious). I escaped around 12 pm onto a street full of people. I was pretty incoherent, but someone told me to call 911.
I hadn’t necessarily had fun experiences with law enforcement before (which is maybe expected, given my teenage activities). But I never would’ve predicted that I would be treated badly as a crime victim. Almost as soon as I was in the back of the ambulance, things went sideways.
I was uncomfortable being alone with two men. I asked for a female officer, and was told no. I asked if my friends could come sit with me, and I was told no again. I said I should call my mom, and one officer told me “this is pretty embarrassing for you, you can call her later”
