Respect must be earned. You cannot demand respect; if you do you don’t have the right attributes to make the demand. You can’t tell people how they should or shouldn’t see you, you can only show them who you are & let them decide. He who commands respect need never demand it.

@PunchingCat @misslegal_ig How traumatic for them… They must absolutely hate being in there.

@LaurenLee_915 @Bio_Stria Don’t explain yourself to people like Brenda. You owe her nothing and she deserves nothing from you. Her attitude is vile & disgusting. I hope you get the justice, you most certainly deserve x.

To put it in perspective…imagine your mother dies when you’re really young. You grow up hearing she died of some weird heart disease. You never get to know her. Her death causes a multitude of issues in your own childhood, but you deal. As an adult, someone approaches you and says she was really murdered. You learn there was a homicide investigation that was ruined by an ME who lost his license to practice. You start to work her case and get warnings and threats for doing so. You begin speaking with other families and realize you’re far from the only one dealing with trying to find answers. You fight for two years to get your mom’s case reopened and push for a statewide cold case unit. You win both those fights. Your mom is exhumed. Then you wait for over 167 days for results from her new forensic exam. All the while, you continue learning more about the horrors surrounding her case while trying to live your own life. Your 30 y/o mom didn’t die of natural causes. You find notes she left behind for you. You learn she was a good person and her case was covered partly out of shame for some of her life choices. You’re the only one who can push for her to get justice. And in fighting for her, you’re fighting for other families who feel defeated in their own journeys. So in short - hell no, I won’t let it rest until I can lay her to rest, knowing her case is solved.

Day 165. On March 7, 1993, my 30-year-old mom Lori Lee Malloy was found dead on the bathroom floor of apartment. Our front door was open. Clumps of her hair were scattered everywhere. A clump of light brown hair that looked, to one officer, as if it had “been pulled from someone’s head” was found in an athletic shoe on a table by the front door. The bathroom faucet was running. The full fridge was unplugged and slightly moved. There were two drinking glasses and a tub of some sort of “leftover food salad” on the kitchen table. My mom had bruises on the thighs of her naked body. Detectives arrived, and a homicide investigation began. The case was abruptly closed thanks to a medical examiner who deemed her death to be of “natural causes.” He lost his license to practice several years later. In 2021, RI’s Chief ME refuted the original autopsy and stated my mom didn’t die of natural causes. In 2022, an expert independent forensic pathologist agreed. After a two-year fight, the state petitioned the court to reopen the case. It was granted in November. On Feb 1 of this year, my mom was exhumed. Today is day 165 of awaiting results from her new forensic exam. Back in 1993, at least one witness told police my mom had struggled with substance use and engaged in sex work from around 14 years old. As the stepmom of an 11-year-old today, that breaks my heart. Lori was a straight-A student and captain of her cheerleading squad until she dropped out of high school to travel the country by motorcycle with friends and learn to sled dog race in Alaska. “I just wished everyone understood me,” she wrote in 1981. She had wild adventures, before getting involved with a series of increasingly abusive men. At the time of her death, her divorce from one violent criminal was almost finalized, she was doing her best to make it as a single mom, and she was fighting with my father Tom over custody of me. “Tommy’s threats over Lauren will settle soon,” she wrote in July 1992. Tom was never interviewed by police about her death. Early on in the investigation, I learned my family “always knew she was murdered,” but never fought to get justice out of shame for her lifestyle being made public and fear of the impact on me. For nearly 30 years, no one ever knew what really happened to Lori Lee Malloy. As I think of the families of LISK victims, New Bedford Highway Serial Killer victims, Connecticut Bra Murder victims and more, I grieve and feel their pain. But I also feel hope. Not just that their cases will be solved, but that we as a society will begin to take cases like theirs seriously, will stop seeing victims simply as “sex workers” and “drug addicts” and will instead see them as daughters, sons, mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers — people. I hope the LISK families know their loved ones’ losses are not in vain and realize the impact this case will have on how we handle others. I hope they know their loved ones’ lives matter. I also hope all the killers who target vulnerable people know they are now the ones being hunted, and the tables are starting to turn. Justice is coming. #Day165 #TeamSledDog #JusticeForLoriLee #LoriLeeMalloy #JusticeForAllVictims

I’d encourage anybody who lives in the U.K. & hasn’t heard of #Antoniaslaw and the work Tony Stowell is doing to Improve care homes to look into both & support getting this Bill passed.

@Natasha_KC1 With all that said, I don’t care about Prince Andrew but I do care about the child victims who were trafficked & raped; they say with the full support of Virginia, & her supporters … people like you. Their case was proven beyond reasonable doubt … Virginia’s was thrown out.

@Natasha_KC1 Settlement is based on likelihood of a favourable outcome, which includes reputational outcome. The burden of proof in a civil case is low, so that it is much easier to win “on a balance of probabilities”. Prince Andrew did not choose to settle; the establishment did.

So this is weird. RW trolls are telling us that we can’t call Prince Andrew a nonce anymore 😂 Reminder…..his victim was trafficked & coerced and he refused to cooperate with US authorities.

@Natasha_KC1 Fact is she is an alleged child, sex trafficker, who has lied & made false allegations against powerful men, which likely lead to her making many millions. If the actual victims are to be believed Virginia has made many millions out of trafficking children & lying.

@Natasha_KC1 She later admitted she “might have been wrong to accuse Alan Dershowitz of sexual abuse” because he had, in fact, never laid a finger on her. By her own admission she lied about both, Prince Andrew & Alan Dershowitz. Truth & facts matter at law.

It doesn't need to be this way. Change the law. #YesToDignity twitter.com/JamestheTJ/sta…

Suits … Every, idiotic episode Pretend lawyer: “we don’t have a leg to stand on legally“ Client: “but I really need to win this“ Lawyer: “ no problem, let’s rely on some shady shit that could never, ever work in practice”

I’m thankful for explorers because reading comments on here about Titan/Oceangate & Mars, without them, the average, no brain would have us know nothing about the planet on which we live. Many would still be mocking any suggestion of aeronautical ambition today.

Terraforming it! It’s almost like naysayers, have never read, Red Rising … Severo … * somebody howls in the distance from a hot Mercurian dessert

@perseverancedec @ShakeLS @The_truthwinz … time to stop talking about books & engineering & exploration and instead focus on unintelligent things like being super fans of Harry & Meghan or the RF, who at least are Heads of State. Not me, I know exactly what they are, and how wrong you are. Oink over there 👉

William fans butthurting that Charles Spencer is openly now supporting Harry. This is making world news, Diana's family is supporting Harry. Go Harry, Go Diana's true son. Harry was always close to his mother's family. They adore him. William supports Camilla. #princeharry

@DWidnes @_IncaDove_ @AndyPeacock999 So there are fully grown adults with no life and limited education who need to cling to misinformation printed about complete fugin strangers they will never meet and who shall never need to know who they are … Because they are irrelevant to them.

@_IncaDove_ @AndyPeacock999 So fucking what

@InfernoAKABen @wars @historyinmemes I don’t know why shipwrecks are so very fascinating, but they are perhaps, it’s the stories of the people lost on them, the tragedies .

Titanic's sister ship, Britannic, was the largest vessel lost during WW1. Today, its wreck site lies at a depth of only 390 feet. Britannic was the youngest among the three steamships of the White Star Lines' 'Olympic' class, following Titanic and Olympic. Originally designed as an Atlantic liner, it was urgently converted into a hospital ship for service in the Mediterranean during the First World War. For its new role, Britannic was repainted white with prominent red crosses and a horizontal green stripe, and it was renamed HMHS (His Majesty's Hospital Ship) Britannic. On November 21, 1916, at 8:12 am, while sailing in the Aegean Sea, Britannic struck a German mine and sank within a remarkably short time of 55 minutes. Although 30 individuals lost their lives, unlike the Titanic, the majority of the people on board (1,035 individuals) survived the sinking. The sinking of Britannic represents the largest loss of a ship during the First World War. Due to the vessel's massive size and the relatively shallow water in which it sank (400 feet/122 m), the wreck remains one of the largest intact passenger ship wrecks in the world.

@_IncaDove_ Your level of intelligence just drips from this tweet

I watched this recently… It’s definitely different

@sjam29 She looks really old for 16 😂

Never let anyone tell you 16 year olds aren’t informed enough to vote.
