  • Precisely. Imagine someone doing something to you that you do not want, something that takes away your sense of autonomy, something that humiliates you. You know if you say something, some people will accuse YOU of doing something wrong, instead of your attacker. Now imagine that person has tons of money, and through that money tons of power. You know if you say anything about being attacked, it could hurt that person, and that person will use their money and power to make your life harder. You also know that even if everything goes best case scenario, it will be terribly hard, humiliating, and your personal life (and maybe some of your own behavior) will be out there for everyone to see. Then, think of all the ways it could be a worse outcome. I don’t fault anyone for not coming forward. If I were a target for this behavior, I’d like to think that I would fight, but who knows what I would actually do. I hope I never have to find out.

















  • When I discovered his original 3 stand-up specials on Netflix, I watched them with full attention. After that I watched them when I went to bed. Watch until I fell asleep (usually within 5 minutes). The next day pick up where I last remembered and did it again. I rotated through them at bedtime for months. Gotta have something entertaining, but not actively engaging so I can fall asleep to it. Comedy specials the 2nd or 3rd time through work for this. No surprises means I don’t miss anything by falling asleep.
