I'm tired of the actor activists who have profited for years by silently exploiting the damaging social conditions that keep them employed telling the most damaging stories in the most damaging industry in the world.

Keanu Reeves will go out of his way to pay for kids to get chemo treatments, but hasn't lifted a finger to STOP the horrible gun violence plaguing the communities he's exploiting.  The number one killer of young black males is gun violence and the #2 killer of all adolescents is homicide. 

Which means Keanu's real legacy has been encouraging it to happen.  It's certainly not the top-down-charity bullshit that shouldn't even exist - no matter how much he hopes you believe it is. 

Think about it.  These kinds of social atrocities wouldn't happen if Keanu Reeves and his kind didn't exist.  If men weren't celebrated for adding fuel to a fire they created.  If men weren't made into demi-gods for giving to the poorest just enough to keep them THE POOREST.

Vacuous men like Reeves have little regard for human life.  Their actions are all history will ever need to prove this.

Anthony Hopkins is the same.  He merrily made Christmas money a few years back, marketing his top-down-charity (his swanky candles) - using starving kids to do it.

Paul Newman he ain't.  No... instead of doing anything to clean up his own backyard (which spans a nearly 200-year-career) the man donated a PORTION OFF OF THE PROFITS... blah blah blah

He's been standing there, in the Weinstein/Epstein pile of trash for the better part of a century - watching the ongoing exploitation of women and POC (which has only gotten WORSE since he took the stage) - hawking his FOR PROFIT candles under the guise of saving kids.

What pathetic TRASH that is.

They don't see it, do they?  How we will ALL see them in just a few years time.  How disgusting they have all become?

The grifters who laid waste to a dying world.

The grifters who have sold us doom, disease, and debauchery (and reveled in it) and nothing else - and in return replaced our children's heroes with the most worthless creatures of our time.

We praise men who have never known what it means to build FAMILY.  We celebrate men who can't even manage their own basic decency and decorum.  We scream and chant and throw money at the same folks we pray our children will NEVER grow up to be like.  Then cry in shock when they do.

We have abandoned community in favor of empty men hiding soulless eyes behind false and phony masks.

Aren't you tired of it too?

The men who take advantage of our girls?  The men who take advantage of our disasters?  The men who hide like snakes in the grass in order to pounce upon or seduce any unsuspecting prey?  The men who hide like cowards behind wealth and fame?

Aren't you tired of them too?

The kids are.  NBC, CBS, ABC... what the fuck are those?  The kids don't know and don't care.

They are on Twitch and YouTube and TikTok.

Disney is dying.  The princesses have all been revealed as lonely men in drag sitting in their neighbor's basement, because nobody will come and save them.

Empty, shallow, pornographic men, and their violence fetishes... have become anathema to all that is and all that is coming.

Their minions are falling away.

The glamour has been broken.

No more will our young dance to their tunes.

The Banshees wail in glee. 

Banshees, one and all.

I have struggled with a learning disability, mental illness, and a genetic disorder my whole entire life.  Perhaps I was born with the learning disability and mental illness.  Perhaps they came on due to a lifetime of extreme trauma, neglect, abuse, and suffering.

Doesn't really matter why.

What matters is that there are a bunch of folks who right now are exploiting those of us who cannot stand up for ourselves, because we are different, and regular folks allow it.

Places like my former place of employment, SITE Santa Fe, a non-collecting, non-profit museum at the heart of Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Just prior to leaving for a work trip to San Diego, for the 2022 Inclusion Conference, I was diagnosed with a herniated disk in my spine.  I was also having other profound symptoms related to my then undiagnosed genetic condition - which I had kept from my bosses (Clara Samayoa and Louis Grachos) due to the fact I was working for really shitty people.

Fear of being further excluded, maligned, and mistreated by my bosses kept me (their HR Manager) silent about my own desperate medical needs (more details to come). 

But the herniated disk my boss knew all about, because I had been taking a few hours off here and there to heal it up.

I was suffering from the herniation because I was driving 3 hours to get to and from work 3-4 days a week.  (More on this later.)

Clara Samayoa, my unskilled and cruel boss, knew perfectly well about my injury, she also knew perfectly well that I have intense travel PTSD, stemming from a violent sexual assault.  (Which she mocked me for in our last meeting - more on this later too.)

Despite my injury and pretty extreme anxiety, the woman who couldn't bother to comb her hair or clean the filth from her office, terrorized me just prior to leaving for my trip, as well as the entire time I was at the conference. 

Demanding all kinds of ridiculous things from me (things she would never have demanded of anyone else traveling for work under similar circumstances), simply because she could.  She knew she could. 

Because SITE Santa Fe's Board of Directors had already decided they didn't want to keep me around.  (I'll discuss possible reasons later.)  A decision they made perfectly clear - in ALL of the ways they treated me - which was MUCH different than other (more preferred) staff. 

SITE Santa Fe's Board of Directors knew I couldn't take them to court.  They knew I was a pay-check-to-pay-check single mum putting her kid through college.  They knew I had no way to muster the $20,000 my attorney told me I needed - only after he'd already taken my last $2k to defend me.  (More on him too.) 

My guess is that SITE Santa Fe will never grow to 50 employees - because then labor laws kick in.

Clara, the stupidly empowered tyrant, knew she could make cruel and unusual demands of me in my condition because she knew she would never be held accountable.  Because I was sick.  Because I was poor.  And because I had nobody I could count on.

So, despite doing my best to deal with my medical condition, my PTSD, and the 28th anniversary of my mother's death, and failing quite miserably, I was scolded, ridiculed, and chastised into processing payroll remotely - even though I had informed my boss (several times) that I did not have a secure internet connection in my room (where we had planned for me to process the payroll). 

Ms. Samayoa insisted via phone that I immediately resolve the problem while I was in excruciating pain.

Because I have always been a people pleaser, I bent over backwards during that trip to try to get Clara and SITE Santa Fe everything they needed.  Despite this... I was fired shortly after returning to work - after being FORCED on a medical leave.

From day one I was treated as an outcast and used for my abilities, by the folks who ultimately stole my medical insurance - the moment I needed it most.

This... this is how we have allowed MILLIONS to suffer and die in obscurity - by allowing vile, greedy, ignorant and vicious people to control other people's well being.
