Kaiser billing dept, it's not cute when you set a deadline for sending snail mail billing in, & I send it on that day to the address I always do w/ a signed receipt received (because HIPAA info), & say it's the wrong address and do a return to sender. I kept that time stamped envelope mfr.

The other thing that's interesting about this interview is the John Wayne Gacy mention. My ex wife had a relationship w/ Gacy as he was in prison. She visited him & he painted a picture of her cat that I hated. Unsurprisingly, she's also a trafficking survivor. All that's been rattling around.

And in some kinds of danger, that was true of me. I did start to fight back with straight physical danger at that age. I think if one gets hit enough, being simply physically hit loses its charge.
The predatory stuff still had me stuck for a while yet.

Definitely thought about the terror of being seen as queer. For sure. I can see the risk issue. I'd heard that many circles, if a kid can be reasonably expendable, that they will either stop or "expend" them around age 13ish as that's when kids start to really fight back. It's too much trouble.

Some talked about in this interview overlaps w/ the Franklin Scandal, which no one was charged in. But I've read interview transcripts from victims & they read as credible. This scandal related to rich people taking young boys from troubled boys homes in Nebraska to other places for trafficking

There's new horrific interviews that dropped. They are called "He's fine, they threw him in a dumpster" and detail a victim's alleged account of Lex Wexner's parties with young boys being trafficked. lisevoldeng.substack.com/p/hes-fine-t...

This Deepak statement reads like when management puts up a public sign as the elevator is down to inform people they have to take the stairs for now.
Like "Oops! I accidently fell into a pedophile. Please excuse the mess until the cleaning crew gets here. Thanks for your patience! "

The first set was more foreign than the second. I was able to do the first set picking two places, one shop and one pub to "look" at before I ever visited. The second skill set was surprising because it's a thing I already do but didn't know others did, too.

It's interesting in taking the second class of Mindrooms, the first set of skills was difficult but do able. Putting your mind in different locations you've never been before and then going there to see if it matches. The second is putting your mind inside someone else's to see what the depths are

Is it ironic that the person I got kicked out of isstd for knowing is volunteering to help me w/ Rachel's memorial, while no isstd folks are. Like, yeah, this is truly the behavior of a dangerous person trying to take down DID clinical work. But it was never really about that, & isstd knows it.

As a survivor (not specifically epstein related) i have little faith. Most of the people in one of my abuse circles had so much money that working was a hobby.

My various social media feed is filled with people having the sudden realization though the Epstein files, that all the things SA survivors have been talking about over the years, even the really wild takes, are true. We weren't lying or being crazy and making it up.

Many academics buffer themselves from us by calling us "the poor dears" or the "incredibly vulnerable population." Both of which I find highly insulting because it automatically creates hierarchy (of well /sick) & false pedestals. It's not a random part of our society. It *is* our society.

Finding out that the Epstein files showed that 4chan was a kind of psyop to black pill for youth by Palintir kinda cheeks out. I remember tracking it in my 20's when tracking nazi sites and seeing rampant child pron on /b/ and it having no repercussions for reporting, due to the ways it can delete.

I'm in the oldest queer bar in America, and we've got a drag king Latin American theme going, which ... with all these queer gutterpunks and old school queers and tiny young new suburban queers rocking out to it, this might be the music of the revolution.
