I am trying to read as many of the replies and quote-posts as I can, but many of them are very sad and illustrate how many others have suffered as a result of this pervasive attitude of girls and women primarily as sex objects. It's heartbreaking to see.

If I think about the Epstein files and the layoffs too much, I won't apply for jobs and reply to emails. But it's hard trying to function "like normal" when things are devastating on so many levels, besides remembering why I became a reporter, and that I need to be a reliable person for myself too.

How many opportunities did I lose because men I encountered or worked with did (or didn't) think of me as someone they could get in bed? What was the point of a reporter willing to cover an active warzone if they were still laid off after bad decisions made by the paper's senior managers and owner?

It's hard, as both a woman and a journalist, to understand both of these things and figure out a path forward. I can't mitigate them through more personal effort, education or professional experience. And it's galling to read the defenses for the layoffs and the people named in the Epstein files.

At the same time, the extent of the Washington Post layoffs highlight how it didn't matter how hardworking, loyal, smart, collaborative, award-winning, competitive, knowledgeable and devoted so many of the staff were. It wasn't enough to prevent being laid off by one of the richest men in the world.

It doesn't matter what the women said or did, how educated or successful they are, how faithful she is to her partner, anything. The Epstein files explicitly detail how these men (and their allies) emailed each other for advice and strategy on sex with girls and women, as well as helping each other.

the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex

I grew up surrounded by a lot of people who would always say the edgiest, most out-there thing to get everybody’s attention and gain control of the room
So now edgy comedians and musicians just make me feel like I’m at a really boring family reunion

Respecting elections is optional to him. And we all have seen the proof & long known this.
Asked whether he’d respect the results of the midterms, Trump said he would only do so “if the elections are honest.” The president’s judgment on what constitutes an “honest” election is highly suspect, as he has repeatedly peddled falsehoods and debunked conspiracy theories about recent elections.
Trump Says He’ll Only Accept 2026 Midterms If He Deems Them “Honest”
Trump’s comments on Wednesday come just days after he called on Republicans to "nationalize" state-managed elections.

I've mentioned this before but this really has to be seen as a naked attempt to undercut any chance for accountability. "Nothing to see here, you're being hysterical, you're going too far, stop talking about it, shut up, stop criticizing your betters"

The ASPS has come out against trans youth surgical care.
The AMA then endorsed the ASPS.
Meanwhile, WPATH's president-elect testified on behalf of a detransitioner who won their case.
And hospitals capitulate to Trump.
I write my indictment of the American medical system on trans youth care.

The Cowardice Of American Medicine On Trans Youth Care
After capitulation by hospitals across the country, the ASPS and AMA have both thrown trans kids under the bus on surgical care.

I cannot help but feel this is borderline a warcrime, since a business laying off their news reporter not involving in said war in the warzone is killing off the employee as a way to reduce company costs. An employed reporter has protection in war under law. Dead ex-employees earn no benefits.

Learning close reading to read Shakespeare will really teach you how to READ
But hearing Shakespeare performed well?
That's when the significance seeps into your bones (at least for me)

Shakespearean text is one of the rare texts that actually is easier to comprehend if you hear it (performed well) than if you read it (if you're not skilled in close reading)
Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

This guy wasn't an investor, he was the cruise director for the largest pedo cult in the world. He didn't need to make money, he just needed to connect the most powerful people on earth and get some leverage on them. He baited them in with underage girls and it worked. Gross.
Epstein had many known connections to Silicon Valley CEOs, but less known was how he made money from those relationships.
We did a deep dive into how he got dealflow in Silicon Valley, giving him shots to invest in Coinbase, Palantir, SpaceX and other companies.

my most peepaw-coded trait is that I angrily refuse to use DoorDash (and similar apps) because I know the markup is so insane versus “picking the food up myself” - and that money doesn’t go to the restaurant.
By god, I will drive or walk my ass over to the restaurant and get it myself.
