A judge in Arizona (female, no less) permitted a cop who sexually assaulted a woman at a bar to go free with no jailtime, and then told the victim that if she hadn't been there, it wouldn't have happened.

I'm sorry, but this is the DEFINITION of blaming the victim. The victim's final comment in the article (which is short, and worth reading so you know the name of this judge in case you're ever unfortunate enough to have her presiding over a trial of yours) says it all: "It probably would have happened to someone else."

Yes, that's right. I don't care how vigilant you think women should be about potentially being sexually assaulted, physically assaulted, verbally harassed, abused, attacked, or murdered. The person who is at fault is the person who thought it was acceptable to sexually assault, physically assault, verbally harass, abuse, attack, or murder someone else. That person is IN THE WRONG. That person is A BAD PERSON who needs to GET BETTER.

For FUCK'S SAKE. This is not even remotely difficult to understand AT ALL.

But otherwise

Today was nice, my new computer parts are all here so I will finally be upgrading my computer wholesale after six years truckin' with the current one, I decided not to do overtime this weekend and catch up on sleep (precious sleep!), it rained all day which was gorgeous, and my day at work started with a wacky, forty-five minute long meeting with my fellow counselors where we bid farewell to a couple of our number who quit today, sharing stories about them and eating donuts.

All in all, pretty good. Oh, and I got paid, finally, which means I have 200 whole dollars leftover (after all the bills) to get by until next paycheck! Woohoo!

Edit: I confess that that last bit was sarcastic, since I will almost definitely have to fill up my tank twice and buy groceries between now and then, which means I will have -10$ because gas is FUCKING EXPENSIVE

Sorry, I'm all full of CAPSLOCK and fuckwords today. Time to go listen to music for a while!
