I don’t have a unique perspective. I don’t have any new information. I have very little of use to say, aside from offering my miniscule boost to this essential signal. I will be brief:

Zak S. is dangerous.

Zak S. should not be tolerated in our communities.

I have removed the episodes of Blogs on Tape which highlighted his work, because their existence might lend him an iota of support. I will not link to him, I will not talk to him. I will not work or associate with anyone who works or associates with him–excepting work that must be completed to fulfill contracts or obligations which were made prior to Mandy coming forward. If Mandy’s abuser is part of your community, then you are not part of mine. I sincerely hope the people this cuts me off from are able to break free of his orbit soon.

I failed. It is not the first time I failed. I hope it is the last time I fail.

I believe women. I believe Mandy, Hannah, Jennifer, and Vivka. Their abuser cannot debate, intimidate, or manipulate me into silence. There is no place for abusers among us. #AbuseIsNotAGame
