RG from @amyschumer 🏼‍♀- these are my sisters. This time last year we were full of one kind of hope. Because of their daily wisdom and unprintable jokes/unyielding support I've been able to hold onto that despite it all. There really is nothing like the love of a good woman.

Greta Gerwig is one the best ladies there is. When we met in 2007, she was already a superstar to me for her jump-off-the-screen indie film work (and then she gave me my first ever acting job! In a web series! Having never seen me act!) and watching her totally singular career has been a joy. She's the 1950s screwball comedy queen of your dreams if that lady was also a full on poet with the filmmaking chops of Cassavetes. Her movie Lady Bird opens this weekend and I feel proud. I feel nostalgic. But mostly I feel lucky that we get to watch her art. #ladybird #greta #supportwomandirectors #supportoutrageoustalent #sisterhood

This is what my social media mentions are like every day. I've gotten used to it, I keep moving and I consider these people sad leftovers from a bygone era when female sexuality was caged and these pathetic basement dwellers were the gatekeepers. But this week, as so many brave women/people come forward with stories of assault, I want you all to remember what they are facing: yes, some gorgeous applause and sisterhood. I wish I could focus only on that. But also a lot of surprising and cruel reactions by people who don't deserve the publicity. When I disclosed my rape 3 years ago I was ignorant- I assumed (despite having been in the eye of the storm before) that you share a painful story and people say "hey, we may not agree on everything but fuck I hate that this happened to you." That isn't often the experience of coming forward with assault, which is why I am endlessly and eternally proud of the women who have spoken up, those I know and those I don't. All love. This is just the beginning.
