Mini-thread:

Everyone, I have to admit that I've been working for more hours than I can count, I'm way past headache and blurry vision stage and I'm exhausted.

I've added as many names as I can to the letter so far, and as soon as I'm physically restored I will continue to 1/

I want to acknowledge the dozens of survivors who have so far self-identified as well as those who for there own very valid personal reasons didn't. You have been sharing your stories with me privately all night and I am moved beyond words by what you've been confiding in me 2/

I also want to acknowledge the partners, family members and friends of survivors who also have their own stories of helping to cope with trauma and themselves being affected by it. At some point I will try to anonymously share some of what I've learned from you. 3/

I am floored by the outpouring of support over this article which is only a few hours old. I've been inundated with hundreds of messages across multiple platforms, and to be honest I haven't even had time yet to circulate the link to journo/celeb friends with large platforms. 4/

Which I'm actually very happy about. I'm happy that tonight was just spent with those who were here, those who cared, those everyday voices who often get lost in the humdrum of who has a platform and who doesn't. Together we've made something important and beautiful happen 5/

Tomorrow I will add the names of everyone who reaches out to me in DM or comment tonight, and then we will make sure the entire world knows this piece of writing exists, and we will make sure the @UN executive know it too. 6/

Because first they came for Julian Assange, and then they came for @NilsMelzer, but we knew better by then, so we stopped them in their tracks, and we didn't let it happen.

And for that I'm proud of every single one of you.

See you tomorrow.
