 Twitter has blocked me for posting something mean about redneck ladies who are sexually attracted to Trump.  

I need to get a life maybe.

Trump and the Saudis have agreed on their spin. It was "rogue killers" who eliminated Khashoggi.

I thought nothing could shock me anymore.

The planet is not doomed. Certainly not the universe or the mind of God.

The human race, maybe.

Christine Blasey Ford, Brett Kavanaugh

It's been almost a year since I made this blog, which has no posts (unless I manage to finish this one.) 
The Kavanaugh confirmation has unnerved me.  One of my best friends (who is a Distinguished Scholar) wrote me that she doesn't think the Kavanaugh-Ford difference of opinion should be called sexual assault.  Because it happened to everybody she knows.  (She's 63 and studied at Stanford and UCLA, not in the same order as I did.)

It matters.  People are infinitely variable in their vulnerability.   Christine Blasey Ford was more sensitive at 15 than I was at 11.  It's entirely possible that her life before Brett Kavanaugh was so protected that nobody had ever hit her or yelled at her.
