- Reposted by Julia BoechatI think often of the women in the Louis CK story—how they all left comedy and never went back, but he’s still going. It’s everywhere and it’s such a loss for them and for us—for things they’ll never make that we’ll never see.

- Reposted by Julia BoechatOne of the things bothering me about how people are responding to the Epstein files is that there are tons of conspiracies being created and spread about what’s in them, rather than people just believing the victims like they could have been doing for years now

- Reposted by Julia BoechatStop saying underage women. They are children.
- Honestly, in 2026, and a professor saying that men can lose everything "all because they somehow touched a student inappropriately". Maybe don't touch your students then??? It's not something that just happens somehow. Guess what you students fear when you close the door.

No, I kid you not. (NB, Iris Schröder never responded to me, either).
