For the Weekend Warriors, Weirdos & Whackjobs - Issue #45

Cue Jackson Browne, "Running on Empty"

Busy Bullshit Hunters has a nice ring to it, doesn’t it? Good, cause it’s been a busy one for us at PRR. We continue the world’s longest headfirst dive into a pool of advocacy cases, working to strengthen and provide additional voices to the fight—making important connections and choosing our battles—fuelled by an unholy mix of Coke Zero, vaping (sorry moms, dead and alive), and righteous rage.

This week,

Justin Seitz

gave us some insight into how that rage and empathy can create bias in our week in his new piece, The Blindness of Kindness.

And, hey, we’re sure you’ve heard, but does September 17th mean anything to you? Wink, wink.

Without Consent: How To Overcome Childhood Sexual Abuse

As journalists, activists, and investigators, we often find ourselves tackling incredibly challenging topics. After working with non-profits that support women who’ve been trafficked or coerced into sex work, I realized just how much professionals still have to learn about communicating with survivors.

Through trauma-informed communications training, I discovered several invaluable resources that informed my understanding of sexual violence—how and where it occurs, and the lasting impact it leaves behind. Without Consent: How to Overcome Childhood Sexual Abuse is compassionate and powerful, written for the millions of women in North America who experienced sexual abuse as children. It avoids the clichés of typical 'self-help' books, offering clear, concise guidance that’s truly invaluable for survivors, their families, and the professionals who support them.

Available for purchase wherever you buy books. 

Sending you into the weekend with restful vibes.

— Much Love From The Bullshit Hunting Crew
