There no words that do justice to the impact that had. Quite simply, he 'got' domestic abuse, defining coercive control, & was the most entertaining speaker. He made us both laugh & listen, & had queues of people wanting to meet him at Women's Aid conference. A legend.

Today, I am struggling to stay alive. I wake up every day and miss my child instantly. I go through my days in a haze of sadness and anger. Finding joy in anything is a difficult task. Most days, I barely smile. I fake happiness more than I want to.
I hate being here.

My amazing colleague @MaryAnnFranks, wrote a scathingly incisive take-down of SCOTUS' decision in Counterman, on stalking and free speech.

'they are . . . denigrating and not taking seriously claims of abuse by women, and ... they are empowering that kind of denial throughout the system ...,' she said. ' … They are marketing and exploiting myths.'

“Universities . . . have relied on publications and grants [to determine] whether to promote someone. . . . the universities rely on the funding agencies
and the journals as proxies for quality control.”

The problem, then, is “the failure to produce a system that is capable of evaluating research on its merits and not by its ability to navigate the hidden curriculum of how you get papers and grants,” Thorp said.
