#TuesdayThoughts: An Example When "Momma"/"Aunt Nicole" Can Relate To Puppy Videos On Twitter





The context of that tweet?



"Momma"/"Auntie Nicole" personally thinks that Tucker the Golden Retriever just actually wanted to see the baby and say "Hi" to him or her, just like when Reilly and Camille get (though especially Reilly) gets excited when she hears any human sounds (e.g., voices, footsteps). To be fair, nonetheless, Tucker's owners know Tucker better than she does (and she doesn't even know him at all, and they'll still know him better even if she did).

PS Another video with the Reibrat and Cambrat:





A Blessing For Protection

בברוך יהוה אלוהינו, מלך העולם ואל אלוהי ישראל, יהוה צבאות ושומר ישראל מי מצוה המלאכי עליון  להגן ולשמור כל בני ישראל וכל הצדיקים מגויים.

Transliteration:

Baruch Yehovah Eloheinu, Melekh Ha'Olam v'El Elohei Yisra'el, Yehovah Tz'va'ot v'Shomer Yisra'el Mi Metzave hamalakei Elyon lehagen v'lishmor kal b'nei Yisra'el v'kal hatzadikim m'goyim.


Translation:

Blessed be Yehovah our God, the King of the universe and the God of Israel, the LORD of Hosts and the Keeper of Israel Whom commands His angels to protect and keep charge over all of the children of Israel and all of the righteous among the nations.

#MaltipooMonday: How 2020 Started Off For Reilly, Etc..

Commentary: Yes, She Was Around Him. What May Have Happened If She Weren't May Have Been Worse. Ask Salma Hayek, For Example

With Harvey Weinstein finally being held to account for the various rapes and other acts of sexual abuse that he committed, so, too, are his victims being held accountable...for being abuse victims.

For example (and being a survivor of childhood abuse, although thankfully not childhood sexual abuse, I had to reply when one person held Harvey Weinstein's victims accountable for something that they did not do):





Being an abuse victim is not a choice or in any other way something that an abuse victim does. After all, for instance, nobody chooses to be sexually abused or have their kneecaps broken, let alone have their taken altogether for that matter (as if rape isn't its own form of murder):


"“He told me he wanted to kill me,” Hayek told Winfrey. “He said to Julie Taymor [the director of ‘Frida’], ‘I am going to break the kneecaps of that ‘c-word’.”" (Brackets in the original)
"I had brainwashed myself into thinking that it was over and that I had survived; I hid from the responsibility to speak out with the excuse that enough people were already involved in shining a light on my monster. I didn’t consider my voice important, nor did I think it would make a difference...

"I don’t think he hated anything more than the word “no.” The absurdity of his demands went from getting a furious call in the middle of the night asking me to fire my agent for a fight he was having with him about a different movie with a different client to physically dragging me out of the opening gala of the Venice Film Festival, which was in honor of “Frida,” so I could hang out at his private party with him and some women I thought were models but I was told later were high-priced prostitutes.
"The range of his persuasion tactics went from sweet-talking me to that one time when, in an attack of fury, he said the terrifying words, “I will kill you, don’t think I can’t.”

Even Salma Hayek fell for the "Since I was around him, I wasn't really being abused" fallacy in light of all that, however:


"I had to say yes. By now so many years of my life had gone into this film. We were about five weeks into shooting, and I had convinced so many talented people to participate. How could I let their magnificent work go to waste?
"I had asked for so many favors, I felt an immense pressure to deliver and a deep sense of gratitude for all those who did believe in me and followed me into this madness. So I agreed to do the senseless scene."

She recognized this:


"It was soul crushing because, I confess, lost in the fog of a sort of Stockholm syndrome, I wanted him to see me as an artist: not only as a capable actress but also as somebody who could identify a compelling story and had the vision to tell it in an original way."

With the fallacy being, "(S)he wasn't being abused by him (her), or else she wouldn't be around him (her), the actual case is, "(S)he continues to be around him (her) because (s)he's Stockholmed and/or in dread of what (s)he might or will do."

If Rose McGowan's, Meryl Streep's, and Salma Hayek's cases don't convince you of that, look at the cases of Jerry Sandusky's victims (whom were male victims of a male abuser and, even though they are survivors, will never fully recover from what was done to them in this lifetime—and what sexual-abuse victim, especially any rape victim, ever really recovers from the abuse that she or he has to endure?).

If not even the cases of Jerry Sandusky's victims convince you, look at those of Michael Jackson's victims (notwithstanding that the cases of Wade Robson and one other person are apparently questionable). If not even those cases convince you, go back to looking at cases of male-against-female abuse and start with the case of Andrea Constand (By the way, yes, Bill Cosby also abused children, as then-teenager victims of his were obviously teenagers and obviously therefore children—and one of them was Nicolle Rochelle, whom was actually a preteen when she first had to be around him).

Either way, your choice to believe or disbelieve sexual-abuse (and other abuse) victims whom continue to be around their abusers will not change the fact that sexual-abuse (and other abuse) victims continue to be around their abusers because they've been Stockholmed and/or threatened within every inch of their lives by those whom'd they'd otherwise gladly escape.

Commentary: A Prophecy and Exhortation(? If So, Blessed Be Yehovah)

Keep in mind that this was all originally a thread, by the way. Please read every tweet if possible. Also, do not let this be to me. Let the glory be to Yehovah.

(PS I call the New Testament both the B'rit Chadashah and Yigdal, thus why this blog entry is tagged as such.).

A Belated Card From Reilly








PS Reilly and "Momma" observed both on the night when most others were observing Zot Chanukah, anyway.
