History repeats.

Sexual Assault Survivors’ Bill of Rights Became Federal Law 10/7/2016 https://www.congress.gov/bill/114th-congress/house-bill/5578/text 1. The rights of a survivor should never be contingent on reporting or pursuing legal action. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to dealing with trauma and these fundamental rights must be protected for every survivor.  2. Every survivor has a right to a sexual assault counselor; waiving the right to a counselor in one instance does not negate this right. 3. Fair and efficient rape kit procedures are a must. It is unacceptable that a kit might be misplaced or destroyed; to prevent this and delays, a tracking system must be developed. 4. There must be standard procedures for ensuring that survivors are informed of their rights.  5. In assessing the effectiveness of this policy and future policies, diverse voices and communities must be included in the conversation. The bill establishes a task force that includes representatives from communities of color, immigrant communities, organizations that conduct outreach/education/advocacy for BGLQT individuals, survivor advocates, law enforcement, and a SANE nurse. Thank you Amanda Nguyen, for spearheading this, and all who helped.

someone: so what is your biggest fear?

me, thinking about those times when you’re sat at a window seat on the bus and a stranger sits beside you trapping you there and your stop is coming up but you’re on a seat that isn’t near a stop button so you’re going to have to communicate with this stranger to move while the bus is still in motion and navigate to a stop button in time without falling but you’re bad at socialization and maintaining your balance: heights

We’re taught to be aware of external danger before the situation arises like a fire in a building, but no one teaches us how to be aware of internal/mental signs of danger like suicide or depression. Coping mechanisms should be taught before the mental danger, not after depression hits.

Oh, they are so adorable
