90 minutes ago my husband received a call from the Fort Collins Police.
Why?
A welfare check!
On who?
Me!
2026-05-22 21:19:28 / 2057934394762154062 / Twitter Web App
This is *exactly* what I've been talking about for the last 18 months. I will lay it out in simple terms because I cannot risk any misunderstandings that stem from my public writing right now.
And why do I write things like that?
That may reveal a vulnerability?
2026-05-22 21:19:29 / 2057934396821471249 / Twitter Web App
Because people being able to understand what the risks are is far better than people not being aware of them when a malicious actor ("abuser") leverages the vulnerability to their benefit.
2026-05-22 21:19:29 / 2057934398860021878 / Twitter Web App
It is much harder for the abuser to leverage said vulnerability inconspicuously when everyone can, and should, be aware of it, especially if its' on record. And now it's on record.
That's why.
2026-05-22 21:19:30 / 2057934401011671093 / Twitter Web App
It is counterintuitive, but it's much safer than constantly trying to hide every one of your potential social vulnerabilities, especially when the abuser is already aware of them.
I'm not going to fool them, so, who would it be for?
So I look good?
WTF?
2026-05-22 21:19:30 / 2057934403033346317 / Twitter Web App
This isn't a game of strategy made up of bluffing and bravado and manipulations of public persona to make me look stronger and not reveal this or that.
And that's because it's not a game, it's real life.
2026-05-22 21:19:31 / 2057934405096845548 / Twitter Web App
There's no plot or narrative I am obligated to abide by, no role I have to fulfill. There's no 'villain' that's going to do the stereotypical villainous things to the 'hero' in such a way that clearly marks them as a villain.
2026-05-22 21:19:31 / 2057934407185662356 / Twitter Web App
That doesn't happen. It's why it's always a 'shock,' when frankly, it shouldn't be.
To think otherwise is dangerous. Real life isn't fiction. The more other people understand this, the safer I will be, and the safer people like me will be. This is a time for allies to be allies.
2026-05-22 21:19:32 / 2057934409224139038 / Twitter Web App
Now, why would I be nervous and concerned about a seemingly innocuous welfare check by the police?
Doesn't that show that well-intentioned others are concerned?
Well, perhaps so, and I appreciate that a great deal.
2026-05-22 21:19:32 / 2057934411489005732 / Twitter Web App
However, couldn't it also be 'proof' that my public behavior is worrying, disturbing, and even inappropriate?
Oh yes! Few think of that, but someone in my situation does, because any little out-of-the-norm thing like this can be used against my interests later, and has.
2026-05-22 21:19:33 / 2057934413523271939 / Twitter Web App
And that's where awareness begins to really help.
Anyone can call in an *anonymous* welfare check, which this was, for all sorts of reasons. Given that, it's not really 'proof' of much of anything more than it is that someone bothered to do it.
2026-05-22 21:19:33 / 2057934415591076226 / Twitter Web App
But if people don't know what happened or why the call was made, then, the unknown can make it seem like 'proof' of what I just said.
And so, this thread now exists.
2026-05-22 21:19:34 / 2057934417629503526 / Twitter Web App
Now that the context I'm writing within is very clear, and this is the only context within which I am writing, I will give the facts, and explain my reasoning.
2026-05-22 21:19:34 / 2057934419600777445 / Twitter Web App
A welfare check phone call was made at 1:45 PM today, May 22, 2026, to my husband Pablo by Officer Rios of the Fort Collins Police.
It was not made to my phone, for some reason, but to my husband's phone. He answered, told me who it was, to which I expressed confusion.
2026-05-22 21:19:35 / 2057934421567942946 / Twitter Web App
Thinking the police were just outside, I told Pablo that I was very willing to meet them outside my apartment building, or in the covered entryway, and speak to them myself, *alone.*
Officer Rios was not outside, but simply making a phone call from some undisclosed location.
2026-05-22 21:19:35 / 2057934423593820494 / Twitter Web App
Pablo then handed his phone to me whereupon I talked to Officer Rios about his concerns. The conversation was polite, and I had a friendly affect as witnessed by Pablo.
2026-05-22 21:19:36 / 2057934425548259552 / Twitter Web App
The reason I was confused and surprised is because of my situation. I am a veritable recluse, meaning I rarely go out in public, hang out with friends, or even talk to friends on the phone or online, or anything. 95% of any month is spent in the near-constant company of Pablo.
2026-05-22 21:19:36 / 2057934427494482381 / Twitter Web App
I do have friends and loved ones despite this. I have a limited set of friends who can be enumerated using only two hands (<10). And all of my loved ones, being relatives, are all local to the state of Colorado.
Not a single one is more than 3-4 hours away driving-wise.
2026-05-22 21:19:37 / 2057934429461643285 / Twitter Web App
Any one of them knows they can call me at any time of the day, all week, 24/7. And if they feel the need they can all visit me physically within half a day and I will welcome them.
There are no issues there, no missing links, no distance, no confusion, no fog, nothing like that.
2026-05-22 21:19:37 / 2057934431491629299 / Twitter Web App
My understanding of my friendships is that, if they are concerned about my welfare, they will contact either me directly, or Pablo, or a relative, before they will ever call the police.
The police are a last resort, and, they would not call anonymously.
2026-05-22 21:19:38 / 2057934433555223033 / Twitter Web App
No one that knows me like that is afraid of me or what might happen if I knew they had called.
And there's the first issue: why are they anonymous then? I can't think of a single person *in* my life that would need to be anonymous. So, why are they?
2026-05-22 21:19:38 / 2057934435509752192 / Twitter Web App
On paper, and it *will* be on paper, that may give the impression to an outsider that whoever called is afraid of my reaction to knowing who they were. And… how convenient that would be in reifying a narrative that's been floated concerning me for 18 months!
2026-05-22 21:19:39 / 2057934437573329405 / Twitter Web App
This is how this works.
Seriously.
This isn't paranoia. This is how this stuff works, by the book. No matter how well-meaning and innocuous a welfare check may seem, which, by the way, is the point, it creates a paper trail that can be used to shape perception in specific ways.
2026-05-22 21:19:39 / 2057934439716720871 / Twitter Web App
Here were the reported concerns as Officer Rios explained to me:
I had made concerning posts on social media where I stated that I wasn't sleeping at night (or at all) and that I said I was living in or amidst trash.
2026-05-22 21:19:40 / 2057934441734132176 / Twitter Web App
My relatives and friends are pretty aware of what I post online, and the style in which I post. I tell them with voluminous details! In *my* opinion, I have posted much more concerning things than this in the past.
2026-05-22 21:19:40 / 2057934443726413950 / Twitter Web App
Once, or twice now, Giancarlo has described my posts as "suicide baiting," and yet, I've never had a welfare check called on me, concerning my posts, before.
2026-05-22 21:28:27 / 2057936654091051511 / Twitter Web App
Given the thread I was posting yesterday, the timing of this highly unusual event is suspicious *to me* as I immediately knew exactly what threads Officer Rios was referring to.
2026-05-22 21:28:39 / 2057936704389230906 / Twitter Web App
And those threads are old enough to possibly not be relevant now, and yet, the call occurs today. Having made a legitimate welfare check call ourselves, they follow up the same day. This is not delayed.
2026-05-22 21:28:52 / 2057936757698748543 / Twitter Web App
I proceeded to assure Officer Rios with the following information, which, if this *is* an innocuous well-meaning individual who *is* reading my social media posts, then, I can easily put this to rest once and for all:
2026-05-22 21:29:03 / 2057936805404815802 / Twitter Web App
I told Officer Rios that I live with my husband Pablo and that, currently, I'm in the *constant* company of my husband. In the last month, I have not left Pablo's side, literally, for more than 15-20 minutes to drive and retrieve drive-thru coffee and cafe items, /
2026-05-22 21:29:24 / 2057936891245420956 / Twitter Web App
or for 30-40 minutes maybe once or twice when he went to the store without me to retrieve food items and other goods. Otherwise, we are physically together.
2026-05-22 21:29:33 / 2057936932525752444 / Twitter Web App
This is important because, as I informed Officer Rios, I have a long-term mental health condition that impacts my living situation and functioning while my husband does not.
2026-05-22 21:29:46 / 2057936985378242733 / Twitter Web App
Pablo has never been diagnosed with a mental health condition, and in fact, has been deemed by several of my doctors and therapists to be a rational, even-headed, and beneficial asset to my living situation.
2026-05-22 21:30:05 / 2057937066366030072 / Twitter Web App
Constantly being in the same space means that Pablo, a rational, even-headed sane person has constant watch over me to make sure that I am not a danger to myself or others.
2026-05-22 21:30:15 / 2057937105939304941 / Twitter Web App
On top of that I'm seeing a therapist, my mother calls me every day, and other people check in with me, all keeping watch that I am not decompensating and becoming a danger to myself or others.
2026-05-22 21:30:24 / 2057937145466413431 / Twitter Web App
There is no real opportunity for me to decompensate or act in a way that would be concerning without someone very close to me noticing and calling anyone they need to call. This is not a problem. This is not a danger.
2026-05-22 21:30:36 / 2057937192841064610 / Twitter Web App
If I were to go missing for more than *one* hour, alarms are raised. Slipping into unhealthy, dysfunctional, and dangerous behaviors without anyone noticing isn't a thing in my life.
2026-05-22 21:31:00 / 2057937296633286667 / Twitter Web App
I'd ask others now to take this into account when considering the last 18 months and what I've posted. None of what I do is in a vacuum, or obscured, or unknown. It's checked by rational people who just happen to agree with me!
2026-05-22 21:31:25 / 2057937401939657137 / Twitter Web App
On the concerns of not sleeping. I informed Officer Rios that I take psychotropics and I have experienced Bipolar-like symptoms in the past. While I'm not in danger of going manic anytime soon, or even hypomanic, /
2026-05-22 21:31:38 / 2057937456000070067 / Twitter Web App
I do take medications whose side-effects are intended to help with my sleep cycle. Unfortunately, they're not perfect, like all things. I told Officer Rios /
2026-05-22 21:31:56 / 2057937530981589323 / Twitter Web App
I had made a thread where I talked about debating a chat bot (it sounded so stupid, so thanks) with clear arguments while hitting 24 hours of wakefulness in one and a half hours.
2026-05-22 21:32:06 / 2057937571049808181 / Twitter Web App
Here's the part I *didn't* post that needs to now be understood: I *tried* to sleep for 6 hours, physically. I did nothing but lay down, trying to sleep, for 6 hours. This was restful-ish, but not full on sleep, and that happens.
2026-05-22 21:32:18 / 2057937620697833798 / Twitter Web App
No one is keeping me awake, I'm not forcing myself to stay awake, I just happened to not sleep that night, and went on with my day.
That's it.
2026-05-22 21:32:35 / 2057937695691976709 / Twitter Web App
That's really it you hopefully innocuous do-gooder concerned caring type person, which I appreciate, but please stop reading in to my posts like every fact is there.
2026-05-22 21:32:45 / 2057937735269384273 / Twitter Web App
The second concern is that I'm living in trash. I have written before that my apartment is not the cleanest right now. This state of affairs is due to a number of factors all of which boil down to my dysfunction and my responsibility.
2026-05-22 21:32:53 / 2057937767640990187 / Twitter Web App
I wrote recently that there are heaps of trash under foot, or something like that. That is true! Though I owe no explanation, here's what that means:
2026-05-22 21:33:10 / 2057937841905365104 / Twitter Web App
Pablo and I are both known to be very absent-minded at times. Pablo is currently employed and does his job at home… which, by the way, /
2026-05-22 21:35:13 / 2057938358471659746 / Twitter Web App
he does through various equipment, the most sensitive of which is *not* connected to our network or even truly accessible to us at all, so, no, there's no danger of "hacking."
2026-05-22 21:36:13 / 2057938607068049515 / Twitter Web App
Being a programmer, there's also various layers of protection across the board, and antivirus, and monitoring across our devices. However, nothing's perfect. Back to the issue at hand…
2026-05-22 21:36:21 / 2057938641645961471 / Twitter Web App
Pablo works full-time, so, he has limited time in his life to enjoy other things he'd like to do. And I respect that a great deal, so when he wants to spend time doing what he enjoys, like composing, singing, performing, roleplay wrestling, whatever… that's what he does.
2026-05-22 21:40:56 / 2057939795503140895 / Twitter Web App
Like I said, we are both absent-minded and we are both very private. We don't get a lot of visitors, though we've talked about remedying that some. We don't gather our mail except maybe once a week.
2026-05-22 21:42:56 / 2057940298765148491 / Twitter Web App
We lose track of things we're supposed to do sometimes (Pablo is infinitely better at not doing that than I am). So, sometimes we *both* get lax about taking the trash out. Garbage bags can begin to pile, and little piles of trash can form.
2026-05-22 21:43:03 / 2057940328699818026 / Twitter Web App
Then, all at once we take out like 6 bags of trash and put them in the dumpster.
As embarrassing as it is to say, some symptoms of my condition(s) are that very distractedness, procrastination, losing track of time combined with anxious and /
2026-05-22 21:50:24 / 2057942178517893334 / Twitter Web App
depressive symptoms (depression has gotten much better since ECT), and they all contribute to difficulties in maintaining my personal hygiene and the cleanliness of my environment.
2026-05-22 21:50:38 / 2057942235610783814 / Twitter Web App
However, I'm not living "in trash," there's no mold, it's not the hoarding situation I tongue-in-cheek hyperbolized (which was obvious since I also wrote "obsessed stalker apartment" in relation to it elsewhere)… it's just messy.
2026-05-22 21:50:49 / 2057942281781727532 / Twitter Web App
Very very messy, and would probably gross some people out. But it's not dangerous, abusive, hazardous, etc. If it was, then, again, alarms. It's just very messy.
2026-05-22 21:51:07 / 2057942359070187873 / Twitter Web App
That's it. Again. What I post, like every other person on the planet, doesn't include every single detail to make sure no one takes it the wrong way, and besides, when I *do* do that, it's apparently a bad thing.
2026-05-22 21:51:17 / 2057942400488939770 / Twitter Web App
After explaining all of this to Officer Rios, including a brief overview of why I was posting the things I was posting (the greater whole beyond those two concerns),
2026-05-22 21:53:44 / 2057943014425948664 / Twitter Web App
he politely verified my identity, and then told me that he was well assured that nothing was wrong. That I "wasn't in trouble," and that there was "no concern" on his part.
2026-05-22 21:53:51 / 2057943047783235712 / Twitter Web App
The police have determined there is nothing concerning about my living situation or my behavior. And that's it. That's all anyone who *isn't* in my immediate life *needs* to ever know. Something I've *told* people repeatedly.
You are not helping.
2026-05-22 21:54:06 / 2057943107430420825 / Twitter Web App
Whoever is *hopefully* the innocuous overly-concerned good samaritan that's calling in… please, don't ever do this again, especially not based on *social media posts.* Please. Do not call the cops over my safety because of observations *over the fucking Internet* as /
2026-05-22 21:54:35 / 2057943228465451086 / Twitter Web App
it's not good for me. I have multiple, sane, caring people monitoring me *constantly,* not all of which are of the same perspective.
2026-05-22 21:55:29 / 2057943455297622355 / Twitter Web App
It is entirely and utterly unnecessary.
Stop.
Don't do this again.
Please.
Also, just in case anyone is under a false impression…
I'm not asking out of desperation.
This isn't a request.
And it won't turn into one if this continues.
2026-05-22 21:57:22 / 2057943929245626834 / Twitter Web App
Now we turn to why I did not like this and why I'm asking others to not do it, others who I believe may *not* be as good-intentioned as one might like to think.
2026-05-22 21:58:25 / 2057944196074635407 / Twitter Web App
This creates a paper trail. I don't really have a choice as to whether this welfare check is written down and on record or not, not really.
2026-05-22 21:59:00 / 2057944342367768846 / Twitter Web App
And if someone has long-term nefarious intentions, which, I've now demonstrated that someone most likely does with all the email impersonations me and the recipients have suffered under, then, that's *exactly* the point.
2026-05-22 21:59:27 / 2057944455706185795 / Twitter Web App
I have *NEVER* had a welfare check put on me due to a social media post, and, like I said, *imo* I've posted worse. So, this sticks out to me, and Pablo, like an elephant in the room.
To us, with my situation, this is *immediately* suspicous and abnormal, and not just to us.
2026-05-22 22:00:43 / 2057944773798092928 / Twitter Web App
I've pointed out the fact that it's anonymous is suspicious on its own. No one who truly cares for me would remain anonymous as they know it would cause this exact nervous, anxious, seemingly 'paranoid' reaction.
I'm actually quite predictable.
2026-05-22 22:01:53 / 2057945067118268772 / Twitter Web App
Kinda ruins the whole instability thing, but wtf do I know, right?
2026-05-22 22:03:05 / 2057945370190299483 / Twitter Web App
No, this wasn't someone who truly cares for me or is concerned with my situation or reaction. That's what being *anonymous* immediately tells me. Anyone who knows me would know that this unknown would deeply disturb me, and it does.
2026-05-22 22:03:09 / 2057945385721909541 / Twitter Web App
I've laid out the very real, factual, not-up-for-interpretation problems with that anonymity. Let's move on to the issues cited. As I wrote these are issues I've written about a couple times in the last 18 months.
2026-05-22 22:08:18 / 2057946683720516039 / Twitter Web App
I believe I've mentioned not sleeping at least once before, and I know I've mentioned the not optimal living conditions (after saying they had improved temporarily) at least 3 or 5 times in the past 18 months.
2026-05-22 22:08:27 / 2057946720504582492 / Twitter Web App
And yet, with the thread I posted yesterday, being this one, and the cliffhanger (you could say), I get this call today.
https://x.com/asherwolfstein/status/2057706875093938201?s=20
2026-05-22 22:09:38 / 2057947016421097769 / Twitter Web App
This is a very odd delay for someone so concerned. To me, it reeks of very fake concern. Why not before? Why not the day of? Why only after I started posting a factual recap of events over the last 18 months?
2026-05-22 22:09:46 / 2057947052022407485 / Twitter Web App
Because it's not really about checking on my welfare. That's what these details are telling me so far. At the least, that's my impression. I'd love to be proven otherwise.
2026-05-22 22:09:55 / 2057947087246090645 / Twitter Web App
If you think that's bonkers, well, thanks, because if you're *that* concerned about my whole welfare, then reveal who you were… bonkers problem solved. Now I have nothing to be potentially stigmatized over.
2026-05-22 22:11:28 / 2057947480743125143 / Twitter Web App
I won't be holding my breath any more than I have for people to send me every detail they can of all those impersonating messages they've allegedly received so that I can maybe, just maybe, get a protection order from the person most likely doing it.
2026-05-22 22:12:13 / 2057947669675540826 / Twitter Web App
All the care, concern, dignity, and so on that people go on about every time they have to look good isn't really about that though, is it?
I mean, that alone, to me, rules out any of them being so good willed as to call a welfare check on me, if they won't even do that.
2026-05-22 22:12:20 / 2057947698251419891 / Twitter Web App
But, there's more!
I find the concerns very interesting. It's not over my mental health, it's not over 'unstable' posting, or my dangerous posting, or posing as a danger to anyone, or all of that, which, at first one might think rules it out as nefarious.
2026-05-22 22:13:28 / 2057947980574126149 / Twitter Web App
But, that's the thing. *IF* it is indeed nefarious, which, I'm not saying it is, these are pure speculations and identifying potential risks to my safety, then…
That would be too direct, too deliberate, and, as I'm aware, harder to justify a welfare check on, at least here.
2026-05-22 22:14:37 / 2057948269914026420 / Twitter Web App
I, and anyone else looking at the record, could very easily go, "Ah, that's obviously connected by sheer bias and concern," and so, of course it's not that. That would actually be an inert and too obvious move for someone with nefarious intent.
2026-05-22 22:16:16 / 2057948686622298394 / Twitter Web App
That's how this works. That's how truly manipulative people operate.
I've talked to them because I've been forced to be in the same space. They don't play the role people think is in their nature.
It's not in their nature no matter how much more comfortable it makes you feel.

No, what's much better are concrete, actionable things. Things that someone concerned for the at-risk and disabled might pick up on and flag. Someone whose standards are quite high and looking out for any tiny little sign of potential abuse of an, again, at-risk disabled adult.

Someone like an agent from adult protective services who could, presented with a paper trail of anonymous welfare checks, might feel the need to force themselves into my husband and I's lives to investigate for no other reason than a paper trail was anonymously manufactured.
2026-05-22 22:22:33 / 2057950269179359515 / Twitter Web App
There *isn't* a high chance that the agent will care or "read into" the fact it's a trail of anonymous calls.
The government is apparently incompetent until suddenly they're completely competent against someone you may not like. Amazing!
No, that isn't guaranteed. It's slim.
2026-05-22 22:24:15 / 2057950696813773109 / Twitter Web App
And why do I single out the adult protective services agent?
The concerns!
Notice how it's about my *living situation.*
Am I able to get enough sleep?
Am I living in a healthy environment?
2026-05-22 22:26:30 / 2057951260876407244 / Twitter Web App
You know who would probably go straight for those kinds of concerns to make a potentially manufactured welfare check?
2026-05-22 22:26:42 / 2057951312780927012 / Twitter Web App
Someone whose had to meet those requirements; who has cared for other people professionally; who, perhaps, has ran afoul of such requirements; who acted negligently towards his elderly charges and got blacklisted by the government, and so he knows just how serious they are.
2026-05-22 22:27:58 / 2057951631812276541 / Twitter Web App
Someone like that would fit the bill perfectly.
Someone who could, upon calling the police, could tell them a story about how my husband Pablo and I are in a codependent mutually-abusive relationship, constantly enabling each other.
2026-05-22 22:29:46 / 2057952085220745266 / Twitter Web App
And since Pablo's not diagnosed, HE is the one who's truly taking advantage of me because he should know better.
Someone who might cry, "That poor man!" hoping to achieve his goals.
2026-05-22 22:29:57 / 2057952131932713452 / Twitter Web App
For being so motherfucking stupid and incompetent, I sure can speculate a great many highly realistic scenarios in the course of 20 minutes (which is how long that took) with incredible ease.
*IF* I'm right, and I'd love not to be, then…
I see you!
2026-05-22 22:30:59 / 2057952392013086957 / Twitter Web App
And that's how a very long, slow domino effect starts to take hold. Wouldn't it be a shame if Pablo was somehow abusing me through sheer negligence because *I* just can't help myself.
2026-05-22 22:35:21 / 2057953489930825738 / Twitter Web App
That he isn't "taking care" of an at-risk disabled person because he's my caretaker for some strange reason (he isn't, my mother is) and "letting" (or "allowing") me to stay up all night, live in squalor (which I'm not), and /
2026-05-22 22:35:31 / 2057953532243046512 / Twitter Web App
act like a crazy person that's harming himself or at least his own reputation and maybe some random protected classes. Wouldn't that just be a sad shameful situation? Pablo gets charged, and I get shunted off to other people to assess me away from the doctors Pablo has /
2026-05-22 22:35:41 / 2057953571765981375 / Twitter Web App
allegedly curated for me? And wouldn't just be so helpful if those other professionals deemed me to be suffering from exactly the psychological complex and implied diagnoses that @redlianak has been spouting and suggesting for 18 months so that I could see the light?
2026-05-22 22:37:13 / 2057953961399943371 / Twitter Web App
@redlianak Now does anyone still wonder why I proactively offered, voluntarily, in Pablo's presence, to meet the police in person by myself, without Pablo there?
Anyone?
2026-05-22 22:37:22 / 2057953995105448206 / Twitter Web App
@redlianak I'm not the borderline lolcow idiot fucking furry that everyone decides I am, and *everyone* would do very well for themselves if they'd fucking respect me enough to believe me the first time.
Like I've written, it will *not* end up being *my* problem.
2026-05-22 22:37:59 / 2057954153767559498 / Twitter Web App
@redlianak This is all well and good, but, there's just *one* problem with that entire scenario, and that's probably why, *IF* it's someone like I've described, he shouldn't pursue it.
2026-05-22 22:38:30 / 2057954280552997104 / Twitter Web App
@redlianak The problem is that he doesn't know everything he should know, and since this *isn't* a game that anyone "wins" there's no reason for me not to tell him. Why risk any of that very realistic series of events actually happening?
2026-05-22 22:48:20 / 2057956755230077077 / Twitter Web App
@redlianak The simple truth is this:
It's objectively not just Pablo watching over me.
Pablo has zero record of lying about anything, no matter what Liana says.
I have a spotless record of telling the truth to doctors, therapists, and police. Spotless.
2026-05-22 22:48:29 / 2057956795122168260 / Twitter Web App
@redlianak And most importantly, I am not in danger of having nowhere to go. I will *not* be shunted off immediately to any other professional. I will *not* be talking to any other doctors or therapists beyond my control if that all went down.
2026-05-22 22:48:39 / 2057956835957821808 / Twitter Web App
@redlianak What *will* realistically happen is that I will immediately be moved to Granby where I will reside with my family. I've *never* been in danger of being homeless, just imprisoned.
2026-05-22 22:48:49 / 2057956877124972715 / Twitter Web App
@redlianak I have a very solid very trusted very stable place to go at all times, always available, every day, year after year, for decades.
So, this will not end up the way someone so inclined might hope.
But… IT MIGHT! WHO FUCKING KNOWS!?
2026-05-22 22:49:08 / 2057956957357773076 / Twitter Web App
@redlianak As for Pablo? Well, part of the process of Pablo staying with me is that a long series of affidavits were written praising Pablo's moral character, his work ethic, his stability, his spotless record of lawfulness and all his other positive qualities, and they're all on file,
2026-05-22 22:49:18 / 2057957001322471501 / Twitter Web App
@redlianak and they can all be written again, except this time even more of them and longer. It will be a pain, sure, but eventually, all being the best, it won't stick. /
2026-05-22 22:49:38 / 2057957082339713350 / Twitter Web App
@redlianak There's no witnesses, there's nobody to 'turn,' or who will even talk to such a person, there's no chink in the relational armor (don't even bother contacting anyone in my family as you *will* regret it), so…
This is a dead end dude.
Or… maybe not.
2026-05-22 22:54:19 / 2057958261882810785 / Twitter Web App
@redlianak Maybe Pablo will be put under questioning and then just… disappear, never to be seen again.
I mean, if I'm being paranoid then I guess even the threat of ICE doesn't *ackshually* apply to me because what… I'm a cisgender white dude?
*I AM* but others *AREN'T*

@redlianak When does something like stigma, being deliberately triggered, my condition, my orientation, my definite Otherness, my disability, my at-risk status, actually fucking affect me as much as it does someone who can say a few words and be completely believed?
2026-05-22 22:54:38 / 2057958340920254791 / Twitter Web App
@redlianak *I* have the audacity to firmly believe that me having to reveal all of this is deeply, profoundly, terribly unfair, as compared to someone saying, "I have CPTSD and they deliberately caused a trauma response because /

Because it is.

@redlianak If not, then, great! I'm fine guys! No need to call a welfare check on me! Ever! Like, ever ever! Like, don't do it again!
The fact is, if I'm right, and I have lots and lots of reasons to believe I'm right, much more than I have to believe I'm wrong (which I might be!)…

@redlianak This is the EXACT type of seemingly innocuous escalation I've been warning people about. THIS is why I say I'm being endangered. This is physical, factual, proof.
There was absolutely no reason the local police should ever call me or be involved in this way and yet, here we are!
2026-05-22 22:57:22 / 2057959031134982357 / Twitter Web App
@redlianak I told everyone I'm in danger, and now, it's happening. Watch as they make fun of me, cruelly mock me, write "good riddance!" like they're morally superior and shun the very spoiled identity they've created instead of, I don't know…

@redlianak very concretely retain my human dignity and safety without having to involve anyone else so they can magnanimously "grant" it to me as a "good crazy" as if they ever could?
2026-05-22 22:58:23 / 2057959287989969283 / Twitter Web App
@redlianak But, at this point, that seems like too much to even ask.
I'm serious. I'm not being melodramatic.
It's apparently too much to ask.

@redlianak and it's sad as fuck for a mental health journalist, advocate, radio host, and peer counselor and all their specially protected hugely sparkly rainbow ally friends that care for everyone so much that capitalism itself need be dismantled.
I guess they're too busy.
