Kurson pardoned? The man who once wrote, "I come from a grudge-holding desert people" to me in an email was PARDONED? What a civics lesson. I spent hours cooperating with the @FBI during his White House background check. If an "accident" should befall me, assume foul play.
Suffice it to say, what he was actually arrested for was part of an ongoing pattern of abuse, revenge, & sociopathy. All jokes aside, I am worried about my own safety. @FBI - How do you protect those who helped you but who are now totally exposed because of a presidential pardon?
Anyway, whatever. He sexually harassed me and ruined my life once, why shouldn't I have to look over my shoulder in fear for the rest of my life? Thanks, Trump! And f%ck you and Kurson and the rest of your swamp dwellers. I'll just leave this tweet pinned forever.
Anyway, here's the complaint against him, for which he will now serve no jail time. Paints a portrait of a man literally bent on revenge. That's what drives him. justice.gov/usao-edny/pres…
I'm so upset. And scared.
Here's the "grudge-holding desert people" email, for the record.
And here's the email MY FORMER BOSS--the newly pardoned Ken Kurson--sent when I asked him what time pizza day at the @observer began.
Is this how YOUR boss sends you instructions for getting paid? "In another life, I'd be Mr. Copaken"???? What's the point of #MeToo and speaking up if doing so leaves one further afraid and exposed? Why do #pardons even exist for proven stalkers? Who protects those they stalked?
Law and order twitter: how do I file a restraining order ASAP?

I pay more than 3x Trump's yearly taxes EVERY MONTH for COBRA ($2398 a month.) When I caught COVID in March & couldn't breathe, I was told going to the hospital in NY would kill me. I can't walk up stairs without my heart hitting 145 bpm. But sure. Don't let it dominate you.
Oy. Okay. This tweet has gone viral: an apt word, but you guys have many questions, so let me answer in one place. No, @TheAtlantic doesn't pay my health insurance. I'm a contributing writer, not staff. I lost my full-time job to COVID layoffs. theatlantic.com/business/archi…
In 2019, I had 4 jobs: a full-time writing job at a tech company, a staff writing job on the new @netflix show EMILY IN PARIS, my columns at @TheAtlantic, and a book I sold to @penguinrandom called LADYPARTS (8/2021), a memoir of being unhealthy in America. A comedy! Yes, really.

Whatever anyone says about his health right now, I couldn't breathe on day 5 of my COVID infection onward. In fact, I––a non-obese, 54-year-old in otherwise good health––had to use a nebulizer for 2 months and a steroid inhaler for 5, just to breathe. His story has just begun.
Then there are the long-haul issues. Mine is POTS. My sister, who was also infected, came down with post-COVID Graves disease. Dozens of friends who were sick are exhausted all the time. Can't climb stairs. theatlantic.com/health/archive…
What's his SpO2 number? At its worse, mine hovered between 89 & 92. Which feels like being a fish flopping on shore. Has he reached the part of COVID where it feels like an elephant is sitting on your chest? That's day 7 or so. Is his heart racing? Mine often hit 170 bpm.

Dear @NYCMayor, I am a Jew. I live in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. I came down with COVID-19 on March 18th, two days after you hit the gym, violating your own recommendations. I pulled my son out of the @NYCSchools a week before you told us to, but got sick anyway.
But that's just one part of my fury right now. You are an educated man. Surely you know that specifically signaling out Jews, historically, has been problematic to say the least. Let's take my grandfather, flung from his crib in Russia by Cossacks. They broke his tiny arm.
It never healed. His entire life, he had use of one arm. Let's take my dad, who grew up in Kansas City, MO: one of the only Jews in his public school. He was bullied relentlessly as a kid. They asked to see his horns. Multiple times.

Okay @Apple - how about releasing whatever new software update will enable our Apple watches to have built-in pulse oximeters RIGHT NOW, especially for those of us w/#Covid_19 measuring Sp02 levels at home to keep from overwhelming hospitals.
Many of us are on telemedicine calls with our primary care physicians at 2 in the morning, gulping air like a fish on the shore. We need to know whether we're above 95 or not, but the oximeter app on the iPhone doesn't seem all that accurate (93 one minute, 100 the next...)
And all of the oximeters available on @amazon are not available to arrive until April 15th at the earliest. Some of us need these readings IMMEDIATELY. Like, yesterday.
