I’m not here to “engage in dialogue” or “have a conversation” and all opinions are not equal.
Leave Black women be or they’ll block us all. They owe us nothing.

In case my bio isn’t clear enough, here’s my skircle. As in my offline life, I care a lot more the quality of my circle than the size of it. I don’t do a lot of posting so my skircle is mostly who I’m listening to & learning from. Are you paying attention to who you’re listening to?

Just finished assembling cabinets for hanging in the laundry nook. There’s another one just like it. Adding handles is so stressful, drilling holes through brand new doors.

I was suspended right before the Epstein emails were released. If the BlueSky search engine works, you will find a wealth of posts from me about the people in those emails, who I wrote about in my books HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT and THEY KNEW. This is the work I feared would be erased on Twitter.

Several of you have already asked what you can do to help and since this is buried at the end of a very long thread, I figured I'd quote it... it feels too much like begging to reach out individually to those who have already offered, so I figured I'll just post this and whoever sees it, sees it.

Bluesky suspended Sarah Kendzior today for no reason whatsoever. She just shared excerpts of her articles, which were as always incisive and not offensive at all. Hey @pfrazee.com this is super not OK. I know her- we've interacted a fair bit via chats and her work is essential.

Anyone involved in a scheme like this should be tried as an enemy of the state and, when convicted, never allowed to walk free again.
This poses a far greater risk to civilized society than any murder or violent crime someone would be sentenced to life in prison if convicted of.
