Ooof, what an idiot (I reserve that word for utter disdain). There’s so much judgement in this world. I hope y’all girl ganged up on him.

Thanks KD! I believe that story resolved with the other sisters coming out to school him where he told them all they “were disgusting” — just an overall charmer!

What an amazing piece, Tolly. The guy who harassed Sarah gives me chills, too. I believe we simply have to decide that he--and those who think like him--are NOT the deciders.

"When I hear about guys like the one who so creepily hassled Sarah, it’s clear he would rather she have less choice. Simple as that." - This! Nail on the head. They just don't want us to have a choice.

P.s your mum sounds awesome.

She IS awesome! Fun fact…I originally had it written that I hated her glasses and cried when she got them; I sent the piece to her yesterday and she fact-checked me that it was the reverse 🤓
