The Women Who Enabled Jeffrey Epstein
From schedulers to socialites, they helped keep the late financierโs sex trafficking scheme operating, or helped rehabilitate him after he faced jail time. Now some say theyโre victims.
As a survivor of childhood SA, I'm still profoundly traumatized more by those who helped him.
The Enablers are central to Rape Culture & are a predator's most ardent ally. This 2021 article about them underscores their visceral & malevolent long term impact

But it was going to get a brown building that has been anthropomorphized with Windows that look like eyes and doors that look like a mouth. The nose is created by part of the building jutting out in the middle where a nose would be on a face. There's a bicycle leaned up against it and telephone wires creating a shadow giving the building the appearance that its nose is running
Today I overheard someone say that the pervasive condescension, minimization & disrespect towards service workers is because so many people don't recognize us as fellow human beings. They only see us as "part of the building."
Oof! ๐ฃ

Reporter: Some breaking news now out of Texas, where a federal court has blocked that state's newly drawn congressional map on the grounds it appears to be unconstitutional. This is a massive blow for the Republicans, who wanted to redraw this map to include those 5 seats.

She wrote a book about sexting with a brain-damaged Kennedy.
For an audience curious about what it's like to sext with a brain-damaged Kennedy.
I expect neither social nor political insights, nor quality literature.
It's smut. The editorial rules for smut are not the rules for other genres.

Lasaga '71 sentenced to 20 years for sexual assault despite academic peers' petitions
A once-renowned Yale University professor and Princeton alumnus was sentenced to a term of 20 years in prison for sexually assaulting a New Haven youth and possessing child pornography.Antonio Lasaga ...
I canโt believe people are standing up for pedophiles.
There was a famous geochemist, Tony Lasaga, whose work helped us understand the long term carbon cycle. He was also a child rapist.
At his sentencing, colleagues actually argued for a lighter sentence because his expertise was too valuable. ๐คฆ๐ปโโ๏ธ
