April Update: Adrenaline & Evidence

EDIT: re-uploaded after a little clean up!We are recording Episode 3: {We’re Gonna Need A} Bigger Boat (yet again!) on Tuesday. Marie and I will be back by the end of next week with a An Even Bigger &  Better Bigger Boat. In 2023 I monologued on Instagram, while shaking like a an leaf and trying to remember to breathe,  to bring you the news of what I thought was a lot of plagiarism (the good ol’ Beginner Playg). And I’m about to regale you with a slightly more sophisticated terror-filled update, by me but from us both! Have a listen.(Visit here for those original stories and look for the other highlights for records of the months of chaos)https://www.instagram.com/stories/highlights/18006746200889506/Strap in! Here be Dragons! Batten the Hatches! The only way out, is through!  Abandon all hope, ye who…actually no, I think you’ll eventually get some hope back from this, we did! What I’m saying is that it’s going to be an intense couple of episodes. Episode 3, will be a pretty meticulous ride up to the top of the Roller Coaster. Then we’ll scream, wave our hands in the air,  and barf as we rocket perilously to the ground for Episodes 4-5, wondering WHYYYY.?!? Straight into the upside down loop-de-loop for Episodes 6-7 (probably). If you like twists and turns mixed with exhaustive factoids (and tea), HIGHLY RECOMMEND getting to the other side of this amusement park ride. Things will look so different from start to finish, and I have a feeling there will be some new discoveries while we are recording- I’m even making a field trip to hear a tip-off. PS: I mention that it was “just me and marie” and a handful of women behind the scenes that were encouraging. In terms of being in the 24/7 recon and research mode, that is mostly true. We did have a couple of people reach out with some key data- but they are 007s and mustn’t be named (007 is a funny occult AND spy reference which is relatively obscure so I want you to know that I’m clever). Also we had The Group Chat.  A mysterious collective with 2 other women who were in it with on the day-to-day. We still have a dedicated GC and I wouldn’t have stayed sane without the 11/10 jokes (and research) that is in it everyday. Enjoy a visit to the web archive and explore internet history (and so, so many books)!https://web.archive.org/~~Extra Credit Reading~~~Rewatching the Instagram stories I mention- and 142 weeks ago, a very nervous me addressed my tiny following, chest pounding, and revealed "Things That Shall Not Be Said". I said in one of the 100+ frames: “Once again, I don’t want to hurt anybody…It’s crazy to me that my shedding light on someone else’s mistake could paint me as a bad person- but I’ve seen that happen [with this] and I’m prepared”.  Two years later- SUPRISE SURPISE, I absolutely was not, in fact, prepared. Upon meticulous review; now having the understanding of our work, the experience, the chaos, the soft-launch verbose brutality of Instagram-famous Spiritual Women ™; many of us have come to recognize the textbook signs of Cult behavior and mistreatment. We’ll add some material about Preemptive Narrative Control and (the long-lasting) effects of the insidious DARVO tactics many have been coming to terms or reconciling with.
