Turns out she DID have a person, who came and picked her up last night. His face lit up when he saw her. We rescued her on Halloween so he's been looking for two weeks.

We miss her already.

This is the essay that had literal Naz*s after me online. More about the hypnotist coming in some future work.

When you are making jokes about #Epstein & co, people like me who have survived those kinds of crimes see it.

A little about that & the context for Strange Flowers in the introduction.This is the essay that literary agents called about ... but they did not want someone like me. They wanted the ND ✨magic✨ ... but in a neat, nice, cute and quirky for the 'gram kinda marketable neurotypical package.

I am at this time a witness in a criminal case against the hypnotist in this piece -- a sophisticated serial predator who lures vulnerable people through his hypnotherapy practice and basically acts like Epstein while posing as a licensed psychologist.

Yesterday was the 11th anniversary of it going viral. This week, I reconnected with a relative -- at my childhood neurologist's office, of all places! -- who squeezed me tight and said she had read my work and felt validated for the first time in her life. She, too, was a victim of my brother.

A psychologist I had been seeing over a year had already clocked some alters+ other things about which I either had no idea or knew but had explained away. He read it & it is now part of my permanent medical record, at the same hospital where I had to take all those psych tests as a teenager.
