    Victims of crime have rights that depend on the laws of the location (state, territory, tribe) where the crime occurred. Some of the laws that might apply to you if a person has committed the crime of sexual assault against you include:
    Availability of a forensic exam (rape kit) at no cost to you
    Confidential access to victim advocates
    Time limits (statute of limitations) on certain legal actions
    Mandated reporting of the assault if you are a vulnerable person (child or elder adult)
    Confidential communication with service providers
    Testing or storage of evidence kits
    Possible financial compensation for you as a crime victim
    It is also a good idea to contact a rape crisis center in the area where you were assaulted since they should be familiar with the laws that apply in their area. RAINN maintains an excellent database of state laws that can help you to understand what rights you have.

    The last moment, when she’s clearly starting to cry, and she reaches out (literally) only to be embraced by the women around her is so beautiful. Women in community are powerful.

      And to think bebe rexha stood with her ❤ kesha's mom warned bebe when she was still trying to break through not to work with luke.. and bebe had bad expiriences with him too

    My favorite lines are: I found a strength I have never known ( finding that strength in the darkness of r and sa is to me so empowering) and some things only God can forgive. I believe that 1000%

    The opening monologue is my internal monologue every day for the last three years. I’ve got nothing left to offer, and I don’t understand why God keeps making me wake up every fucking day.

    • @mendwithmere
      @mendwithmere  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      I’m sending you love and ask that you be shown exactly what you need to understand your purpose. More than that, I hope you get relief from all you went through and currently going through

    "Sometimes I pray for you at night"
    The strength it takes to pray for someone who has done you so wrong is incredible. It is truly admirable.

    I'm so happy for your reaction, Kesha is one of my faves. Love from Brasil

    my favorite lyric is "i'll bring thunder, i'll bring rain, and when i'm finished they won't even know" it's just so powerful to express the anger that comes with it
    please do fine line, it's so beautiful

    I’m so glad you reacted to Kesha, she’s such an amazing artist! I feel with this album she was trying to be positive whereas her latest album is more ‘truthful’ about the darker feelings and more reflective. Would recommend you reacting to some songs from Gag Order but wow are some of them heavy!

    • @tinkerthetinyrobot

    @bluelightvisions 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +22

    so happy you did this one! Thank you for being so vulnerable with your audience. This meant a lot to me in 2017, it came out at the time where I really really needed it. And I definitely could connect back to that feeling with seeing your reaction.
    If you ever want to react to more kesha, she has a lot of good stuff from her new album “Gag Order” (a reference to the fact that she was still in a lawsuit while creating it). I’d definitely recommend “Fine Line”, “Living in My Head” and/or “All I Need is You” 💙

    I WAS NOT expecting this!!! I'm so happy!!! Kesha deserves so much - she's such a strong and talented woman with a beautiful soul!!!
    (I'll watch it after the VMAs are over)

    Hey Mere! Thanks for this! I did a presentation about this song last year and how she fought against @@@@@ culture, i'm still traumatized after it! She's so brave though ❤

    Hi Mere! I can’t stress enough how much I appreciate your work, you seem so sweet and I can’t imagine a better person for this type of content💙I am beyond proud of you for your book, you deserve the world! I don’t know if you’d be down but I’d love to see your reaction to Dancing with the devil by Demi Lovato, it’s really heavy, yet so empowering, I thought you might be interested. If not, that’s totally fine, record only the reactions you truly want and always put yourself first! Thank you so much one more time…take care💙💙

    I've been listening to this song for years. And it still gets to me.
    I've been in "depths of despair" moment for a few weeks. But I have learned over the years (and have tried to remember) that it's not the end. It's just another chapter in the book of journey and so much remains unwritten.

    • @aidenrushing9841
      @aidenrushing9841 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      "Colors feel muted for me." YAAASS! That's what it feels like. And then when you are coming out of that space suddenly the sun is brighter, the sky is bluer, the trees are greener, etc.

    The monologue she said in the beginning tore me to shreds. I’d give anything to get to the other side.

  • @outsider120
    @outsider120 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    I recommended:
    "Silent All These Years" by Tori Amos.
    And "Recoking" from Alanis Morissette.

    Speaking of pigs, please react to Swine by Lady Gaga.
    (Fun fact, it was featured in the hunting ground film)
    It’s about her rage she felt from being r/sa.
    Thank you Mere.

  • @MikeHarley10
    @MikeHarley10 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    @VioletEmerald 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Amazing reaction. I've adored this song for many years now but I've never seen either of these videos. This was so great.
    I'm really curious to understand more about the Fair Use process and TH-cam member process and generally becoming monetized even if most of your videos are treated as not monetizable.
    I have been thinking about my own options for monetizing my fanvideo TH-cam channel by posting other videos occasionally that could be monetized since TH-cam keeps reminding me i could become a TH-cam partner, based on views but I am so confused about if I really would be allowed... but also just thinking about making a second TH-cam channel that's the monetized one and considering what kind of videos could be posted there.
    I just found it interesting you brought this up in here.

    Please do something off GaG Order by Kesha. It's an album processing getting out of toxic situations. So powerful

    @xxrafaelxxmedinabalbuena7280 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I would love it if you could react to the album this song belongs, It's really beautiful and personally it helped me through adolescence

  • @brunocardoso2977
    @brunocardoso2977 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    A curious fact: Kesha said that she never watched this performance. She's very insecure about it and is afraid of seeing anything that might be considered a "flaw". I wish she knew how good she was and how proud we all are.

  • @GarethLone
    @GarethLone 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +2
