What's this about, President Trump?

From President Trump's Twitter:





Is that code?  Are you still watching me in my apartment by hacking the hidden, illegal cameras?

All right, I'll do girl talk with the President of the United States at 4:00 a.m.  Why not?  My life couldn't be any weirder.

I do not have my period yet this month.  I have been putting pantiliners in my underwear for a couple of days because I don't track it and think it's around time for me to have it.  Since I turn off the lights to shower, change my clothes and use the toilet, and might not know when I have it, the pantiliners are also to prevent an issue from that.  

You shouldn't be watching me in my apartment, just the way that you shouldn't have hacked the hidden, illegal cameras in the women's locker rooms in Boston Sports Clubs when I was homeless from 2017 to 2019 and had a membership there.  You're the President, and you're supposed to care about people's human rights.  

Has anyone ever told you that trying to period-shame women is an immature, gross, misogynist thing to do?

As for my not being "hot" anymore:  thank you for mentioning it.  The less beautiful I am every year, the more obvious it is that the conglomerate's grotesque invasions of my privacy and other people's privacy were always about establishing malicious, totalitarian control over anyone who doesn't have the financial means to deflect it.  

For the decade and counting since these invasions began and have accelerated, the conglomerate has exploited my gender and relied on misogynist stereotypes to excuse eroding civil liberties.  It is not my fault and was never my fault.  It never had anything to do with what I look like.  I am not and never was so beautiful that criminally victimizing me and everyone else who has had to live or access group settings was an irresistible temptation.  

I did not bring this on myself.  There is not and never was any way for me to protect myself from it.  There is no technology that I could buy that can stop governments from hacking my phone and every other electronic presence that I have, or from hacking cameras.  

I did not ask for this.  No sane person would want to have to live the way that I have had to live.  I do not owe anyone anything for having done what I could to cope with an impossible and overwhelming situation that I'll never be able to stop.  

As for the participation in these crimes by the M&E industry and marketing departments of various corporations:  they all have their motives.  The media immediately grasped the implications for its own aggrandizement of the eradication of privacy boundaries and has lied by ommission to the public about the extent to which privacy for regular people is an anachronism.  

Most of the entertainment industry is about as sophisticated as the average elementary school child and does whatever it can get away with; it wants nothing as much as it wants to be entertained all the time.  Human beings in captivity were a novel source of entertainment a decade ago.  After years of these abuses, the entertainment industry has eagerly accepted them as normal and morally irreproachable and its subsequent self-perceptions of omnisicence and power over the public as its due.  What else can be expected from the vainest people in the world?

Marketing departments know that viciously abusing me is an easy way to meet deadlines and elicit laughs.  Nobody's going to stop them.  

Congress is continuing to do what it does best, which is to ignore and take no responsibility for everything that it doesn't know how to deal with or which seems unlikely to affect it, Congress.
