@uhactually this statement is honest: "i don't want to deal with this, so i'm not going to talk about it" this statement is not: "i'm not a part of this, i'm not involved in this, this has nothing to do with me" — PolitiTweet.org

from the standpoint of onlookers, those situations tend to seem like confusing, complicated, 'grey' affairs that are sordid and embarrassing, and they're not really interested in 'bringing it all back up.' of course, for the vic, it never went away. — PolitiTweet.org

@cmargir i'm not a cop — PolitiTweet.org
Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig
yeah. i've only dealt with prosecuted murders, where nobody's worried about offending the victim or inciting the murderer. but in those cases, people are fairly relaxed. the thing about unprosecuted/alleged assaults is vics are usually very isolated — PolitiTweet.org

@ebruenig Is that more true of sex crimes than say murder or fluff stories about dogs?

@judoscott @Popehat nobody owes me anything, i'm just pointing out i'm not dragging anyone into anything. they were a part of it before i ever knew of it — PolitiTweet.org
Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig
@WomenCreator @Popehat no, that's the point: i didn't make the decision that this person would be at this place at this time and become a witness to this situation, that's just the way history played out. there's no point in pretending otherwise. — PolitiTweet.org

"waah don't call me don't quote me don't use my name i don't want to be a part of this, leave me out of it!!" sorry babe, talk to the chaplain!!! i didn't bring you into anything, that was fate. can you nut up and navigate adversity instead of trying to hide FOR ONCE IN YOUR LIFE — PolitiTweet.org
Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig
you're minding your own business, you're at a party, you're in a grocery store, you're driving in your car — and something happens: a crime, a sin, an accident. you're now a part of it. doesn't matter if you like it or not. your only choice is how to react. — PolitiTweet.org
Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig
newsflash assholes: you don't get a choice as to what you're a part of in life. you're brought into this world without any agreement, and you're buffeted about by forces of history and nature until eventually time unceremoniously dumps you into your grave — PolitiTweet.org

every time i'm looking into a rape, a sexual assault, a sex crime that has gone unpunished, when i contact bit players to ask about minor details, you know what they always say? "i'm not a part of this, i don't want to be dragged into this, leave me out of this" — PolitiTweet.org
Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig
oh yeah, I think the message: "I desperately love you, please let me help you, I will do anything to help you" is (no pun intended) the apotheosis of this form — PolitiTweet.org

@ebruenig Question: did Christ ever attempt to persuade anyone in the Gospels?
Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig
100%. reading Augustine's Confessions, for example, is just reading one long pitch for the faith framed in this way: "if you think you're too big of a fuckup for this whole thing, trust me, you could not possibly be any worse than me." then stuff about the nature of time — PolitiTweet.org
Thinking @hmmmmmmmmmmmn
@ebruenig Have you yourself ever been persuaded with this method?
