According to Sybil Exposed, two events didn't make final cut because the author didn't find them plausible. One is that Sybil had her limbs strung from pulleys, which isn't especially implausible. The other, which is of interest here, is that "Sybil" claimed that while in a fugue state under one of

claims in Sybil are around the nature of MPD or DID and the sketchiness of the doctor and journalist who wrote the book. There are a lot of weird dramatics around the mother's supposed actions, but the specific allegations are relatively mundane, sad to say.

The flip side of this is there are reports that, while absolutely horrific, aren't any more severe than things someone in CPS may see on the regular, and these authors claim that the human mind can't possibly contain such horrors and invent entire cosmologies around it. For me, the questionable

Between reading true crime and the reports I've seen in a previous criminal justice adjacent job, I've seen some shit. I will run across SRA skeptics that call various allegations absurd, but most of the individual elements are present in "mundane" abuse cases. It's the scale and scope that can be

Good article, didnt realize the prose pages weren't explicitly codified. My understanding is that letters pages ended up replacing these sections.

I like this song, more pop than metal, sweet little loser dirtbag love song. Not sure where the "deadly" part comes into play. "I know I like dancing with you!" "That's sweet, honey, but I want to get back to what were you saying about last Saturday night?" youtu.be/kIt3OGra3Lo?...

Can't underestimate how much people anchor their beliefs on "based on a true story" fiction more than on the "true" story itself. For instance, so many people think Ed Warren is a hunky, soft spoken, Christian superhero and not an aggressive schlub who sounds like a mobbed up con artist.

You know that thing I promised to do when running for office? Turns out I can't do it. They won't let me. To be clear, this is because of systemic inequities outside of my control, not because I was either ignorant of the basic functions of my position or knew better and was lying about it.
