Don't believe everything you think.
I haven't gone for one of my stupid mental health walks in a while (combination of weather and work), and I should go today, but it's so warm in my house and it is decidedly not warm outside. I can hear the wind from inside.

The richest person on that list is Elon Musk. Convert his net worth to centimeters and it’s enough to circle the globe more than 100 times.

For a while the news was almost entirely enraging and all I wished for was a change.
Now the news is almost entirely just fucking gross, and I realise I need to get more specific when I wish for a change.

"What if one of YOUR favorite politicians/celebrities/etc is on the list?" Did you all not notice how quickly we dropped Neil Gaiman when we found out about the things he did? Do you know how beloved that guy used to be and how loathed he is now? I think that right there should answer your question.

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far
