I’m a trained social worker. I worked with cases of CSA and other horrifying traumas. I didn’t learn til 6 months before I burnt out how dangerous and cumulative vicarious and secondary trauma are.

And as several folks are saying in the comments: curiosity about the Epstein files is understandable, but just for yourself personally, think carefully about what you want in your head forever.
It will come to you later in upsetting ways that you may not expect.

I promise you- people think they want to know the lurid details- they don't. I spent 30 years reading accounts of CA/SA and that shit never leaves your head.
I'm interested in knowing who was on public payroll and didn't do their jobs. And I'm happy to wait for the truth so it sticks.

It's impossible not to be a fan of Jesus the fictional character. It's the creeps who got hold of the original IP that were the problem
I have my problems with Christianity and Christology, but I've become a big fan of Jesus as a literary character in recent years

Some of the most crucial research I did for RINGMASTER was in the single library on earth that contains the entire run of Havelock, NC's local newspaper
No, the run is not digitized
Yes, I found gold
No, the run is not digitized

When we say "no, everything hasn't been digitized," I need you to understand that we really mean is that virtually nothing has been digitized. This is because the realm of primary sources that historians use is incomprehensibly large.
Seems like it's worth posting this one again.

Musk cut off international aid; that's killed 600k ppl, and will likely kill some 14 million overall. He is a genocidal Nazi mass murderer. It's like asking Hitler what he thinks about philanthropy.
It’s in fact extremely easy to give away money in a way that helps people.
Stuff like this is just what you say when you don’t actually want to help others.

One of the books in my office is 290 years old. It’s still in excellent condition and easy to read. I wonder how easy it’ll be to read electronic texts 290 years from now. I expect it’ll be rather trickier.
