So I kind of casually mentioned on twitter today that it’s a pretty common occurrence for some men to make comments at me when I’m walking down the street. The response was crazy. Heaps of women shared stories of how often it happens to them, and heaps of men were genuinely surprised it happens at all. 

I blogged a little bit about it here.

Now, I’m hoping to get other people telling their stories about being harassed. On Twitter, Tumblr, blogs, wherever. Let’s stop acting like this is normal, and start calling it what it is: unacceptable sexual harassment.

I hate hugging (I know, I’m weird), but I could really do with a metaphorical hug right now.

Not one of my better weeks.

Not buying Rachel Bilson as a doctor on HART OF DIXIE? Here’s what she has to say (or rather, rap) to you in response. In her words, “Haters get two words / Doogie. Howser.”

Written and produced by Wilson Bethel, the video also features Scott Porter and was directed by Dugan O’Neal.

This is about 7 million kinds of awesome.

• Nobody on Tumblr has been mean. Quite the opposite. Most people on Tumblr are TOTALLY AWESOME
• I would like to be able to write more honestly about my life and not worry about who from my “real” life is reading it, thus the new blog.
• I will happily share said URL with preeeetty much anyone on here. I just don’t want to make it public in case aforementioned other people see it.
• I will share it with Jonathan, even though he’s an IRL person, because I tell him everything anyway.

On the advice of Martin Douglas, I have a new blog that is where I can whinge a bit and not worry that my mother is going to read it. 

Inbox me if you would like to follow it, and I’ll share the link.
