This contains mature/graphic content. If you have ever been sexually assaulted or raped, I want you to know #IStandWithYou.

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/08/opinion/anger-women-weinstein-assault.html?smid=fb-share This is incredibly well-written.

Fact: I am seriously contemplating ending my life. No one knows what's going on, or cares, but I feel it's important to talk about.
