These last two days have given me emotional whip-lash. I feel like I need a nice long crying jag to feel okay again.

Some links from my flist and surfing the web:

Obama's speech in Cairo


Describing characters of color

Except from 'Men On Rape'
(warning: there is an interview with a man at the end of this that is incredibly triggering.)

Also, I want to point out, because I don't think that this statistic is not talked about as often as it should be, 60 percent of women who fight back against attempted rapists are successful.

Also, flist? *hugs*

Yeah, I wanted the Emma Thompson and the man who's wife had recently died to get together in the end.

And I recognized where that icon is from.

They would've been so good together. They had this rapport, you know. And, and, and, the guy who was secretly in love with Keira Knightley? What a sweetie. :'(

Exactly. They have EXCELLENT rapport and he would never have hurt her the way her husband did. Actually, I'd love to see his reaction to finding out about that whole situation.

Agreed. IMHO, they should've cut out the bits with the porno people (not enough development there) and worked that in.

Yeah, I just remembered another part that touched me. Remember the heartbreaking scenes between Laura Linney and the Carl guy? Just... *sigh*

Oh, I could talk about that movie forever. Feel free to tell me to shut up anytime.

Oh, that would have been so awesome! And I agree. While the idea of them awkwardly having a first date after all that was cute, there really wasn't a lot of development.

Oh, don't stop on my account!
