Protesters head to the Doubletree

Just a quick note to let you know that the protest against the AVFM Conference at the Doubletree in Detroit is happening right now. You can check the hashtag #NoMRA on Twitter for live updates. Here’s a Ms Magazine blog piece with more details.

I’ll have some thoughts on it all later.

PS the important thing being the rest of your life will not be like this. Scumbag ex won’t be in it, it’ll be YOUR life back again. It will be better.

Please, call the ambulance.

I need to go to the hospital.

Yes, definitely. Are you at your house, marinerachel? Would an ambulance be able to come get you if you called?

Don’t, please, marinerachel. Why let that scumbag win? Because that’s how he’ll see it, you know, manipulating you to this extent.

Your life matters. You matter.

Do you think the people who love you want you to die? They don’t, they’d be shattered. Please, call that ambulance now.

Please, please don’t give up! You have value, you have your own life. You will be able to move on, love someone again, someone who truly loves and cares about you. And that man has no right to control your life. Please seek medical help.

You’ve been so strong, marinerachel. Please, just call emergency services, and then you can let someone else take care of you for a while. You need help, there’s no shame in that, you deserve to have a strong body and a chance to be happy again. Just give yourself that chance, please call for help.

Please go to the hospital marinerachel. You are truely entitled to feel like giving up, but please don’t. You’re a good person. It’s worth hanging on.

People care about you. I know it’s not the same as in person, but *we* care about you.

Marinerachel,

We care about you and want you to take care of yourself. Please call for help. It will get better eventually and there’s always at least a couple of us on the site at all times. You’ll always have us here for you.

I wish I was in your city and could do more.

marinerachel, if there is anything I can do for you, any help I can give, please let me know. I know we don’t know each other personally, but we’re in the same general area, and you gave me some really good advice the other day about how to access reproductive health resources here, and I just want you to know that if there is any way that I can help, I want to.

If there is anything you need, just email me at vt01h5 at the gmail.

Please, please hold on; you’re a wonderful person, and the world would be a darker place without you in it.

I’m praying your silence here is because emergency services are there with you. Please, please be okay.

I know you’re hurting, and the miscarriage, and…

God, I’ve never wanted to be able to teleport so badly. Please don’t give up. Please let help be on the way. Please call help if you haven’t already.

I only know you from here, but you’ve been so nice, and so understanding, to everyone you’ve interacted with. You’ve helped encourage me to be a better person without even meaning to, and I love that about you.

I care about you, and so many other people here do, and please be getting help.

Please.

I have mainly been a lurker on this site and love observing the nice camaraderie of this site. I am commenting because I care about a fellow human being in pain. Please get some help. Perhaps their is a crisis hotline or suicide hotline in your local where you can just talk. Please if you can then get to a local emergency room there they must by law treat you both for physical and mental/emotional trauma. Virtual hugs to you.

marinerachel,
Don’t you dare. Nobody is killing themselves tonight. That’s not a solution to anything.
Pick up your phone and call the ambulance. Don’t hesitate. Just do it.
Please.

David, can you trace the IP?
