![“Question,” Epstein wrote to Maxwell on May 23, 2008. “Which one do you prefer,,, lewd and lscivious conduct ,, or procuring minors for prostituion.”
At the time, he and his star-studded team of defense lawyers were closing in on a generous plea deal with federal and state officials in Florida, and Epstein was trying to negotiate the state charges to which he’d plead guilty. Maxwell’s response was matter-of-fact:
From: gmax <gmax[REDACTED]>

I feel much more outrage than I express online, mostly due to a general sense of who the fuck am I, but I am DISGUSTED by the international community's cold and quiet reaction to the plight of starving and murdered civilians in Gaza. Why are we not stopping this?!???

It is amazing how the forward momentum of a revision can be completely derailed by an intensive web search for a piece of information that winds up affecting only one word of the entire manuscript.

ABCqueer [Mar 31] -- Australian researchers have developed what may be the first validated scale to measure 'gender euphoria' -- a common experience among trans people which occurs when one finally feels comfortable in one's own skin and is recognized as such by others. @rikiwilchins.bsky.social
Researchers take a more positive approach to trans identity
Australian researchers have developed a world-first scale to measure an almost universal experience for trans adolescents and adults – gender euphoria – that could have significant implications for me...

Not to be a wide-eyed naïf about such things but... am I right in thinking that they levelled an entire building to get to one guy and *that* is not controversial to anyone in the American media or political class, only that this information was recklessly shared in an unsecured chat?

There's this sweet spot in writing where you have enough ideas to fill a novel but not too many to fit. I have too many ideas for my current book. It's feeling like a TV series with many many seasons, not a 110 minute movie, and I have got to find a way to rein this beast in.

Incredibly irritating that the cure for all my current writing problems turned out to be: setting a one hour timer and writing during that time.
