Rose and PTSD

Rose McGowan,who outed some of the sleazy background to Hollywood and in relation to the Weinstein issue, suffers from PTSD

In a recent post she stated "I️ fell asleep on a plane tonight and had the worst nightmare I’ve had in awhile. A giant monster hand was trying smother me. I️ had to fight for air and woke up soaking with sweat. I’ve also been having a lot of body flashbacks. This PTSD shit is hard. Going through this publicly is a special kind of hell that most will never know. So go easy on your judgements of we who’ve stepped forward. Be gentle with your words. Even if we don’t see them, we can FEEL them.
For any of you out there suffering, know that I’m with you in spirit and solidarity. I️ know you’re with me, too. I️ feel you. Xx
Love to us all,
Rose"

And this comment from her post -


"In case no one has thanked you for outing your abuser and opening this subject. Let me say as a survivor, thank you, Rose, for giving us a voice in the midst of patriarchy."

There are also many offer supporting comments on her FB page, I for one had not realised that she suffers from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
I really do feel for her.

Solidarity

Rose

I found this quite beautiful artistic  portrait of Rose McGowan as she moves intuitively around her LA home in a tender portrait by director Marlene Marino. The music is by Ludovic Einaudi and his "Earth Prelude No.1 in EMinor.

In Sheerness

I am currently in Sheerness having one of these pub visits on behalf of one of my companies. I just had the Sunday steak and egos with a jacket potato. I am washing it down with pints of Abbott Ale. The pub received an over-order and the manager admits they do not sell as much ,so rather than chuck the beer away they are selling it at half price - just £1.35 a pint!





The pub in Sheermess.



The High Street in Sheerness

It has been quite a nice day although not above 12 degrees C.

So all you soul lovers,keep the faith ,peace and love. Enjoy.

Soccer , Not NFL

Back in town and currently in the common room, but unfortunately apart from a couple of guys playing snooker, some git has Sky Sports channel on with American Fastball  Football. Some NFL game i am not interested in. Not even soccer.

Talking of soccer,Brighton and Hove Albion won away and they need these wins , and so far an unbeaten run of four games, to stay in the top flight. Currently at eight which i find very encouraging.
