• Paper Trail or Nothing: Surviving Opportunism in Intimate Spaces

  I stopped answering some people a long time ago. They were part of my daily life once — names I could call, faces I could expect at the door — until the promises, the excuses, and the costs piled up until they became unlivable. This is not a score-settling post. It is a close look at a pattern I lived through: how a couple of people, acting like helpers, quietly turned access to shelter, cash, and favor culture into leverage. I am writing this to make sense of what happened, to give other survivors language for the same slow erosion, and to point at the cracks in the systems that should have stopped it.

• Why Excessive Agreeing And Imitation Erode Connection

  We all mirror people we care about — it’s a fast route to rapport and a quiet way to show love. But when agreement becomes constant and imitation replaces honest expression, the relationship loses its depth. Authentic attraction relies on contrast as much as harmony; individuality signals value, trustworthiness, and emotional safety.

• Frontal Lobe Neurobiology, Imaging, and Criminal Patterns: Integrating Prefrontal Dysfunction with Forensic Phenotypes

  This article synthesizes evidence linking prefrontal cortex (PFC) structure, function, and connectivity to criminal patterns. It outlines key PFC subregions, neuroimaging methods, recurring imaging signatures found in offender samples, behavioral phenotypes that emerge from prefrontal dysfunction, and the practical, clinical, and legal implications of using frontal‑lobe imaging in forensic contexts. The piece concludes with ethical cautions and research recommendations for more responsible, translational work.

• Gender bias in informants and boots on the ground in Buffalo NY: naming, shaming, and costs to high‑risk victims

  Gendered slurs and shorthand labels such as “Sinaloa members,” “prostitutes,” “blowjob queens,” “sugar mama,” “Uber,” “sex slave,” “Ubereats,” “crazy,” and others have circulated in Buffalo over the past six years. When those words come from informants, patrol officers, prosecutors, or community boots on the ground, they do more than insult: they reshape investigations, block services, and increase danger for high‑risk victims and domestic violence survivors.

• When Perpetrators Claim To Be Police Or Informants

  Abusers and rapists sometimes invent or co‑opt identities — claiming to be police informants, DEA/FBI agents, crime lords, or drug dealers — as a way to intimidate, confuse, and silence victims. These false identities serve a tactical purpose: they give perpetrators apparent leverage (threats of retaliation, claims of protection, or promises they can “get” the victim) and they help shift attention away from the abuser’s actions toward a sensational story the abuser controls.
