It’s the same motivation that leads to Popes covering child abuse, or on the micro-scale, why people look away from creepy behavior in their own family

Sure their are rumors, maybe even moral disgust, but it’s tolerated bc not doing so is inconvenient & apparently too embarrassing, so abuse festers

I have been saying for years that “well connected man has contact info of others” is not evidence that those people were involved in his illegal activities on it own

Bill is still a pervert but his “crime” with Epstein is that he tolerated a very suspicious man bc not doing so would be inconvenient

that’s what I meant by reading but YES WE LOVE A PRODUCTIVE OOMF

tell them you are SICK and THEN spend the day reading

he is fluffy!! also he is not in any way vicious!! @sheev.calamitousintent.com

perhaps someday they can be friends

It didn’t go far enough. It never went far enough.

and I’m not being a prude, I’ve watched a lot of porn, I hooked up with a 20 year old guy last month (and a guy in his 40s) but there are a LOT of people with a similar inclination toward young girls like Epstein or Trump, which is all tied into misogyny and greed, which is WHY ppl tolerated them

SO MANY MEN tolerated him

I don’t think all of his circle participated but they tolerated it bc they 1) had similar desires and wanted in, 2) just didn’t care about women or girls as people or 3) were ashamed of their similarities to him and ignored his actions bc they know they would do the same

Our society fetishizes youth in music, art, pornogrpahy, it’s pursued on dating apps and at bars

Our society needs to grapple with the fact that Epstein wasn’t an aberration he was an apotheosis, and that many, MANY men would commit similar crimes if they had the same reach he did and THIS is WHY

I’m in a unique position where 18-20 year olds flirt with me & men in their 40s flirt with me AND ppl younger and like, I’m not saying they’re all sex criminals but even being a little older than them I can see big differences between me and them I’m SURE are apparent to anyone decades older than me

HOWEVER

I think it’s kind of a fine line between leering at women in legal pornography, aged 18-23 with all their body hair shaved off, and pursuing women that age… and then a marginal difference between them and even younger girls

Again, no, I don’t think this is exactly the same, but being 27

I think a lot of this coverage has to do with porn

SO much of it is barely legal content (or marketed as that, whatever the age of the subjects) and we KNOW porn is far and away the thing the internet is MOST used for

I don’t think consuming porn is the same thing as assault or pedophllia

okay well wbk she’s not the one I (hypothetically) care about

well I’m not I’m a flirt

which one is cuter tho??

I’m religious and I go to church, so I’m blessed enough to have had older people in my life for years, many of whom have died, who never had a meltdown kver me being gay or objectified a waitress in front of me bc they were just good people… I’ll dedicate things to the people who derive I think

Bc I just can’t

rationally his bio kids did have a big inheritance they were owed from their mother’s estate, she died decades ago but that + his refusal to explain, his crude treatment of women/conservatism already strained our relationship and THIS pushed it over the edge bro is in hell I fear

I’m literally named after him, we moved to North Carolina to help tend to him and my grandmother, my mom was with him as he died, she named ME after him, and he was too proud/misogynistic/greedy to leave her anything or even just EXPLAIN why his bio kids got so much

I took my picture with him down

tbf his biological kids DID deserve some money, their mother died young and I’m sure there was some inheritance from her they deserved, but he refused to explain anything in his will, kept my grandmother on an allowance, and leered at women, so like I miss him… but I know he’s looking UP at me

-functional herself) and she found out his biological kids, who were mostly not around, got all this and she got nothing, after being a devotee daughter to him while also enduring his crude jokes when he was functional

at least as he declined, he WAS very explicit about how much he loved us etc.

this cretin’s sole link to the outside world was FaceTime on his iPad and my mother is single-handedly responsible for making it usable for him as he declined in his last years, and he STILL didn’t leave anything to her, and when she read the will (as the executor next my grandmother who is barely-

gonna dedicate whatever my next publication is to her, I think

Thought about dedicating it to my (step, but also only) grandfather but unlike him, my friend was met a chauvinist pig who left $100k to his biological children and not his step-children (including my mom who tended to him as he died)

I’ve always been pretty comfortable discussing it

It’s still makes me sad and existential, but some of my earliest memories are of going to my great-grandmother’s house, she told me about traveling around the world, and then I remember when she died, I remember her funeral vividly, i was four

I LOVE U SHEEVE I AM LAIGHING SO HARD I AM CRYING RN JULIAN IS LOOKING AT ME WITH CINCERN

HOW FO I DOWNLOAD THIS

He is a sweet fluffy boy! Who almost never attacks!! Video unrelated

One of my friends at church died, she was 75

She didn’t have a lot of family & didn’t know who would go to her elderly aunt’s funeral & then said she didn’t know who would he to her OWN funeral

I told her I would & she said “I know you will, you’re a good kid”

very sad this day came so soon :(

not to be dramatic or anything

nether this country not its people were ever great, but we’ve become an even paler shadow of ourselves, somehow

kind of a marginal difference, limbo and the deepest circle of hell with Judas & Brutus are all still in the inferno, but the degradation is still substantial
