Like, Melissa could have had an unstable former patient who kept calling from a phone booth and leaving creepy messages. Cops can't prove it's him, so she has no recourse other than possibly invoking Tony. That would be a good arc.

Anyway, four dollars a pound

And I guess I find it frustrating because "Melfi grapples with whether to sic Tony on someone" could have been really interesting if they spent more than a single episode on it. The "identity known to Melfi but not in prison" was achievable without that long chain of improbables.

Stranger rape in parking garage->guy is caught->BUT he goes free because of a technicality->the final bit of unlikely serendipity where Melfi sees his "employee of the month" photo

But I still prefer to think that I'm so deeply selfless that I'm most impacted by that which does not afflict me.

So everyone please take this post as evidence of my excessive, possibly pathological empathy, please and thank you

Arguably it's because ARFID is just easier to explain.

"A lot of foods just make me gag" is easier to explain than the sensation of gender incongruence, which invariably invites comparisons to anorexia, schizophrenia etc. and a decent amount of effort to explain why those are different.

To be clear, I'm not saying that it's *solely* him, there could be multiple people with far-right sympathies who have access to the DHS Twitter account. But I'm pretty sure he's at least *one of* the people doing it.

Wow, thanks for the cite

Starting to feel hurt that you haven't shared my research here Will bsky.app/profile/kyle...

Even today a lot of people think Tourette's is just yelling profanity. Tony showed at least some education and intellectual curiosity by acknowledging that it could manifest as non-profane monosyllabic utterances.

I don't think he's denying that Babylon Bee platforms creationists, so he probably thinks this is a "cancel culture" thing and considers creationist affiliation too benign to warrant "canceling."

But I'm just calling Colin a fucking idiot and hypocrite, that's pretty weak "canceling."

So nothing that led me to a unique individual, but it made me double down harder on "June was actually from Connecticut"

Nothing dispositive, sadly. But I had two main churches in mind, and one of them had archives mentioning missionary trips to China (which June mentioned as dream vocation) and also mentioned Wednesday prayer meetings (June wrote multiple times of midweek prayer meetings)
