It is my birthday tomorrow! If you want to do something for me, I have a big request. Think of somebody in your life who is struggling. Make them soup. Play a videogame with them. Help get their window unstuck. You don't know how far a little goodness can go. But I believe in you.

I want us all, but men in particular, to really, really hear these words. "I thought someone was going to kill me." "I thought someone was going to kill me." "I thought someone was going to kill me." "I thought someone was going to kill me." "I thought someone was going to kill me."

Why didn’t some of the Epstein survivors speak out earlier? “I thought someone was going to kill me,” one explained. As another asked, “Why did the government work so hard to protect Jeffrey Epstein and not victims like me?”

We’re spending a lot of time talking about Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. But don’t forget their victims. The survivors. Not all of them made it. At least two women connected to Epstein’s abuse have died by suicide. The real number may be higher. Jeffrey Epstein accuser, Maria Farmer, speaks out.

The weight of discrimination doesn’t just stay outside, it gets under your skin, into your thoughts, and impacts your mental health. We can’t talk about healing without talking about injustice. #MentalHealthNews caralyndreyer.blogspot.com/2025/02/ment...

One of the worst ways I've seen people wreck their mental health is by not knowing their limits.

I'm not surprised there was no Epstein client list. It never made sense that there would be one. Why would he need one? There is a list of his clients as a financial advisor, there is a list of people who flew on his jet, and we can assume a subset of those people sexually assaulted underage girls.
