he has to eat all of the swans before they make it official, is the thing. man it's so fucked up. and no one's allowed to help him. it's something like 4 or 5000 swans and he can't leave the table until they're finished and he has to catch them all himself. the crown only technically owns unmarked swans in open water. so he has to get out there, get after them. i don't even know if he can swim

REGARDEZ romping is so imminent i can feel it

On April 30th, 2018, Sabaah Jauhir-Rizvi published this report detailing multiple child sexual assaults that she experienced at Willow Creek Community Church in Illinois, carried out by my biological father, John Ortberg, Jr.

janelied.wordpress.com/2018/04/30/my-… Sabaah’s report is detailed and harrowing: Ortberg Jr. assaulted her multiple times when she was 15, after she had been sent to him to receive help with post-traumatic symptoms. The assaults Sabaah describes began with groping, and escalated to penetration and masturbation.

this will surprise no one who remembers Masha Gessen's fawning interview with Martina Navratilova at the height of her "I Hate Trans Women" world tour in 2019 without ever once mentioning her pivot to professional transmisogny... newyorker.com/news/our-colum… but within a few days of Gessen's attempts to position themselves as an authority on trans youth, a polite intervention from @mckenziewark resulted in Gessen saying the quiet part loud:

quick update my dog is asleep on my chest/left arm so i can't reach my phone to document but he is letting out a very small puff/squeak/almost snore every, i would say, two seconds his head? tucked right under my chin

Grace and I both knew pushing for accountability and further investigation at Menlo was going to come at a cost. We knew it would be slow, difficult, painful, and that we’d meet with resistance. @graceelavery We’ve spoken to school administrators, the police, current and former parishioners, parents, investigators, lawyers, and church staff. We’ve gone public when other avenues failed.

In November of last year, I reported to the Elders of Menlo Church that their senior pastor, John Ortberg, had conspired in secret to provide a person experiencing compulsive sexual feelings towards children with unsupervised access to young people through youth groups. At that time, it was my hope that the Menlo Elders would conduct a confidential and thorough investigation of the report, and make such arrangements as were necessary to protect the community. In January, Menlo Church published the broad outlines of their investigation.
