Pondering the current wave of counter-accusations towards Tara Reade (Biden& #39;s accuser for those not following at home), I find myself wondering if this has impacted the mortality rate of assault survivors.
(I& #39;m being obtuse here because I don& #39;t want twitter to catch me saying the no-no words.)
A less than pleasant consequence of being one of Thomas Ligotti& #39;s much vaunted depressives is that, for every time I& #39;ve contemplated That Grave Act, I find myself wondering how many others have, and of them how many went through with it, and of them what drove them to it?
What I& #39;m saying is that, for every sexual assault survivor that sees these denials of Reade& #39;s abuse, how many of them are going to see a society that views them as little more than a footstool or a hindrance to Great Men?

How many people have died thinking that nobody cared?
Do I regret this thread, as per usual?

Yeah, mostly because I don& #39;t enjoy using the Professional Sad card, I just can& #39;t think of a way to otherwise clearly articulate my thoughts on the matter.

Will X (among others) cop a slap on the wrist for malevolent behaviour?
I wouldn& #39;t hold my breath, frankly. Besides, even if they do, who says that isn& #39;t already too late?

A whole lotta people will have read that shit by then. All for what? Some political football team shit?
