do you ever let your secret liminal change sing

Twitter is like cocaine because you get all this out of context information really quickly and in shorthand. And then you start to think that you're the only person alive who truly understands geopolitics and that nobody could ever be wittier than you. And inevitably it leads to yelling at traffic.

Tiktok is meth because it starts out with lots of dancing and interesting colors and sensations, and you're having really interesting conversations with all your new friends, and trying out cute new looks. And then you realize that you forgot that you had a job five days ago and all your friends are really worried about you.

Youtube is opiates and the ads are withdrawals. It gets more and more difficult to stave them off, while the user experience becomes increasingly mundane.

4chan is benadryl. The hat man is constantly whispering in your ear. The people there don't enjoy it and nobody outside can really understand why someone would want to go there in the first place.

Facebook is alcohol. Boomers love it, everyone is repeating jokes you heard five years ago, it made your uncle lose his mind, and nobody using it seems to be aware of their deep unsettling psychological issues.

Tumblr is weed. You appreciate lit and art but spend a lot of time mentally jerking off. It's noticably unsocial and world events and finance don't feel real.

I think maybe I need to get better at recognizing the signs of when a child is being sexually interferred with. There needs to be some kind of generally accepted community intervention that isn't just calling the child cops. The problem is that pedophiles often position themselves to be both in high regard in the community, and in proximity to children. So any kind of intervention (i.e foster care) immediately gets flooded with pedophiles. So I'm not even sure what a helpful community intervention would look like.

Here it is:

"Por que no los dos?

There is no black and white. It isn't either or.

There has been a propaganda campaign to create a giant group of all sorts of people from every social strata who now lack the tools they need to understand/care what is happening.

Every individual has the choice to embrace their neighbor, including those unlike themselves. That is, in fact, every human beings' choice.

You are both on the same side.

#don't make enemies out of each other

Texas state representative Jasmine Crockett.

A semi-redacted version of the epstien files have been released (justice.gov/epstien and scroll down to the botton that says "go to doj disclosures, then select "epstien files transparency act"). Trumps name is all over them, along with other horrific and confusing things.

Idk what it looks like to people in the states, but from the outside it looks like the department of justice, the senate, and much of the house of representatives is so corrupt that it is no longer functioning as a working government. A bill was passed specifically ordering the DOJ to release the complete, unredacted epstien files. Not only did the DOJ redact all of the names of the people involved, they gave out all of the survivors names and information, which they were specifically ordered not to do. The house of representatives can't actually seem to force the DOJ to comply. The senate also has no real ability to force other areas of gevernment to comply. The checks and balances in the system are apparently nothings.
