This was the one I listened to a few months ago - I think he said to her something along the lines of, "I'm a very rich man and I'm used to getting what I want." Absolutely sickening.

This was bad enough, but everything that was newly reported in the Vulture article is straight from a horror movie. Eff him! AND Palmer for sending yet another vulnerable woman to him despite *fourteen* other women telling her about what he was doing.

Yah...the potential "alleged" involvement of Amanda, his wife, REALLY fucking upset me. Felt like real Judas move(s). Reminded me of figures like Ghislaine Maxwell and Nancy Salzman.

And here we are again. Power corrupts. But that’s far from everything - there’s more to come.

The truly tragic part is that these repeat offenders, once they are finally exposed for their lies, don’t even have the decency to admit, just once, that they messed up. That would actually be a refreshing change for once.

I’m curious to see who will be the first to do it.

I was heartbroken when I heard about this. I have always loved his books and they felt a bit like what I imagined a shamanic journey to be. 💔 You were right about this year, Rachel. All the falsehoods are coming to light. Just mourning the fact that it was one of my favorite authors.

Yah, there's a reason grief is such a theme in the coming Wood Snake Year-- it's not just going to be about literal death, but a collection of successive "deaths" of our beliefs, paradigms and yes, even well-intentioned delusions. Let it go. Take some flower essences and soak in a salt bath. The Wood Snake Year isn't even here yet. Pace yourself-- and take care of yourself!

Well if this is a prequel to this year, it's going to be a rough year in that sense.

Yes, but also (hear me out): LIBERATING. If you can change your mind AND open it up to new possibilities, literally anything is possible. If you don’t actuially owe these asshats anything, then you can just keep it moving and re-invest that energy, affection and money into…drumroll please…YOURSELF. And that, my friend, is the best investment of all;)
