My apologies to anyone who followed me for birds, Hordak, Area 88, and food adventures, only to get waves of bad news instead.

its a flex.

they're saying 'this is what we did, but you'll never be able to tie us to it, and you'll never put us on trial, let alone in prison for it!'
Gonna stop looking at the Epstein Files in a second because I'm frankly way too skeeved out to keep going but I will say this: the CSAM isn't blacked out nearly enough while the faces of guys in ties are obscured by vanta black rectangles the size of the sun.

HUGE NEWS from the new Epstein files:

Records show that Maria Farmer, who worked for Epstein, filed a "child pornography" report to the FBI in 1996.

The FBI has never before acknowledged that complaint. The case went nowhere, and mass abuse followed.

They spend a lifetime of chasing highs when us regular folks their age celebrate moments of quiet gladness.

We rejoice with our loved ones during their biggest moments. We join the fellowship of shared mourning when they suffer. We do it freely, without calculation or trying to manipulate.

Living for the better part of a century and having an impoverished inner life and no imagination is tragic.

Even if you are not a bookish type, which is recent and rare in human history, don't you marvel at the natural world? Flora and fauna? The mountains and the sea? Sunrise, sunset... the stars?

If you're the family of a trans child, and you have the means, it's time to start planning to leave the USA.

Costa Rica has family-friendly digital nomad visas if you work remotely. Canada wants healthcare workers. The Dutch will let you set up a business.

Find a country and GO.

BREAKING: The House of Representatives passed a bill that would criminalize gender-affirming care for transgender youth under 18 and put doctors in prison for providing this care.

This bill is an unjustifiable threat to the well-being of trans youth and their families. The Senate must reject it.
