13/ Three years ago today, he decided my intoxication, unconsciousness, lack of consent didnβt matter. He showed no remorse, took no culpability. I became a rape survivor. Others became complicit in his lies. Makes your wonder if these letters are worth it #MeTooPhD#MeTooSocSci
14/ Also, three years ago today I sat across from my attacker at his dining room table drinking shitty coffee he insisted I try. I was terrified, awaited conversational lull so I could leave without raising his suspicions/angering him #MeTooPhd#MeToo#MeTooSocSci#MeTooSociology
15/ As if rape wasnβt dehumanizing enough, he scoffed at me and my research, tried to make me feel incompetent, insinuated I didnβt get sociological methods or the MA Paper project Iβd been working on for two years #MeTooPhd#MeToo#MeTooSocSci#MeTooSociology
16/ I didnβt cry at the table with him, but I cried on the way home, at home, in the shower, curled up in a ball on the floor. Cried because I was raped and because I didnβt think anyone would believe me #MeTooPhd#MeToo#MeTooSocSci#MeTooSociology
17/ In spite of what he did to me in May 2015, Iβm still here (at least for now). You may not see me at many dept events, working groups, conferences, etc. You may not see me at all.
But Iβm
still
ππππππππ
to be here
18/ Iβm not sharing this as a salacious indictment. These memories are daggers in the soul. I just want to let other survivors (both in and outside of academia) know: I see you, I feel your pain, youβre not alone, and I believe you #MeTooPhd#MeToo#MeTooSocSci#MeTooSociology
unroll, please and thank you

1/ Many disconcerting things here: 1. That third-party/media reporting may be more effective and trustworthy than university HR or TIX offices; 2. That cautionary whisper networks may have some degree of selection bias on who is or is not informed about whom to avoid;
2/ 3. The use of βx told y person within z amount of timeβ as proof of the veracity or plausibility of harassment claims (not all cases have this, but those cases are still equally valid); 4. That double-digit victim numbers seems to be critical mass for βuniversity response;β
3/ Dominguezβ repulsive behavior went on for nearly FOUR DECADES (1979-2015)? Thatβs far too long for those at the top to have been oblivious

2/ I presented this paper by @msalganik, @peterdodds, @duncanjwatts (2006) in a doctoral-level methods course on network analysis at UCLA. Authors are highly respected, paper has over a thousand citations:
3/ It wouldβve been a disservice to Salganik et al (2006) if slide titles werenβt used for punny references to pop song titles or the music biz:

1/ I rarely comment on the gun control debate. I support reasonable, effective gun control. Yet, some liberals seem all too happy to dogpile on tribalistic virtue-signalling via backhanded insults to law-abiding gun owners:
2/ Many of these gun owners (my rural family included) also support gun law reform. Lobbing petty insults betrays: (a) dearth of knowledge on guns/current gun law; (b) refusal to see gun ownership as part of a valid cultural identity; (c) rabid desire to dehumanize βthose peopleβ
3/ All of these are equally problematic and divisive. So as a Mossberg 500-loving, blue state-residing, liberal Southerner who wants to see legislative reform of gun control, I say to other liberals β stop it
