I’m really enjoying seeing how everyone is thinking through their current situation. In a way, it’s helping me get to know some of you more than I ever have before.

But at the end of the day, it’s all fucking meaningless.

There are no “sides.” There are no “teams.” All of these distinctions are illusions that will eventually fail each and ever…[Read more]

do you feel Sabrina was also looking for information from you, as well?

I actually felt quite the opposite, @russell. I felt she had all the information she needed in hand, and was trying to bring me around to a place of realization – and when I didn’t, she felt frustrated.

Spitball theory I don’t entirely believe at the moment, but Never…[Read more]

Add one more to the pile. Same phone number as the calls to @kevin and @wanda102.

Sabrina called, wanting to clarify that I was the last one to speak to Joyce. I told her I was. Sabrina asked what Joyce said.

I told her she said she had needed help.

Sabrina then pushed me on why me — “of all the people on the fucking planet Earth, why did sh…[Read more]

Oh god, @kevin.

I’m going to say one simple thing here: Sabrina is wrong. That was not on you. It never was. It was always on Mason Silver.

As for why Sabrina is trying to gut punch you emotionally and get a reaction… there’s a lot of different ways to read that. Going to take some time to process.

But what happened to Joyce was not your fault.

@mumumusings I don’t think it would be without cost or personal consequence. But that doesn’t mean it’s not the right thing to do.

This is such a great discussion. Grateful to all of you for talking these things out.

@blondie and @michelle, you both raised some really good points that had me thinking about things, and I realized I hadn’t fully explained my stance on some of this.

I’m normally an anti-violence and pro-justice system person. I’m not into the death penalty and…[Read more]

As an intellectual concept, I hear you on the “benefit of the doubt” thing, @mike – but that take requires one to intentionally ignore a slew of other things Mason has done that give us a real sense of his intent and overall character.

These include, but are not limited to:

-Manipulating @kevin into asking Joyce to expose herself, knowing that…[Read more]

@mkarrett @coryphella I’ll grab the Noah Sinclair Truth flyer as well and we can put together a set of commemorative postcards.

I can’t tell you good it was to hear your voice today, @coryphella, and to find out you were okay.

As for why you’re not talking about what happened with Mason Silver… I dunno. You know I trust you. But I don’t trust him.

As for this not being a game: from the minute that call of Clint surfaced saying “I think he’s real” the entire texture…[Read more]

@lilmsfancpants

I’m really hoping it’s Megan making those calls.

You and me, both.

I got out of a screening a few moments ago.

There was a call from @coryphella on my missed calls. The message was silent.

There was also an email from Mason, telling me to turn on my phone. I’ve responded and will update if I hear from either of them.

Looks like I’m keeping my phone on the rest of this festival. If that was actually you @cory…[Read more]

Thanks for sharing this @michelle, though I can’t tell you how much I wish I didn’t read what you wrote.

I went to sleep last night with a heavy heart, hoping I’d hear back from @coryphella when I woke up; nothing. Now I’m stumbling in and out of screenings in total confusion and sadness.

If I’m totally honest, my first instinct is to perhaps…[Read more]

To add on to everything @michelle just said, this has been an extremely hard night, and I’m not sure what to do.

Obviously, Mason never stopped calling Megan once he started, even after the @chelsea outreach happened. I don’t know what he was saying to her, but I suppose it was enough of a bond for her to publicly side with him a few days ago.…[Read more]

The Instagram post has been pulled, so re-upping this for archival purposes from the Facebook post…

Given where he came from, I can’t help but come back to the idea that the simplest reason for Mason’s behavior around The JC Situation is that he’s trying to provoke an extreme emotional response.

Whether that is out of habit, an interest in data collection, or something else remains to be seen. But is he looking to make some people angry…[Read more]
