While I can’t necessarily recall a time where I felt like anonymous, I have had times where even though I won in the end it came at a cost, Just like how Anonymous ended up winning custody over her daughter despite the trauma and debt she got with it. The story that I can think of that most closely resembles what anonymous went through was between me and an old friend who I don’t speak with anymore. I and he were pretty close as we went to school together and hung out all the time. I had a lot of trust in him and he had even been to my house on multiple occasions. As time went on I had started to realize that valuable things in my house were going missing (money, jewelry, some small electronics/ videogames). At first, I had just thought it was misplaced items but then I realized that things would really only disappear when that friend came over. This made me really anxious because I had never had to deal with something like this before and at first I didn’t know what to do or how to react to the situation. Eventually, I confronted him and he denied everything, but eventually, after prying and convincing evidence he fessed up and told me he sold everything he stole from me just because he “felt like it”. I decided to end the friendship and even though it felt good to clear up that problem and cut out a problematic person in my life, it still hurt as I considered him a good friend and it didn’t feel right getting shamed for making accusations even though I was in the right.

Office Hours: Tuesdays and Thursdays, 11:30 AM – 12:30 PM. I’ll be available through Zoom and will send an invitation via email that you should keep all semester. Try to join my meeting at the start of the hour, not at the end—since I may be talking to other students or have another appointment after the hour is up. If those times don’t work with your schedule, we can schedule a different time. This means you’ll have to schedule an appointment in advance. I suggest you have multiple times in mind, since your schedule may not mesh with mine!
