In the span of just weeks, the U.S. government has experienced what may be the most consequential security breach in its history—not through a sophisticated cyberattack or an act of foreign espionage, but through official orders by a billionaire with a poorly defined government role. And the implications for national security are profound.

First, it was reported that people associated with the newly created Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) had accessed the U.S. Treasury computer system, giving them the ability to collect data on and potentially control the department’s roughly $5.45 trillion in annual federal payments.

Then, we learned that uncleared DOGE personnel had gained access to classified data from the U.S. Agency for International Development, possibly copying it onto their own systems. Next, the Office of Personnel Management—which holds detailed personal data on millions of federal employees, including those with security clearances—was compromised. After that, Medicaid and Medicare records were compromised.

Meanwhile, only partially redacted names of CIA employees were sent over an unclassified email account. DOGE personnel are also reported to be feeding Education Department data into artificial intelligence software, and they have also started working at the Department of Energy.

This story is moving very fast. On Feb. 8, a federal judge blocked the DOGE team from accessing the Treasury Department systems any further. But given that DOGE workers have already copied data and possibly installed and modified software, it’s unclear how this fixes anything.

In any case, breaches of other critical government systems are likely to follow unless federal employees stand firm on the protocols protecting national security.

The systems that DOGE is accessing are not esoteric pieces of our nation’s infrastructure—they are the sinews of government.

For example, the Treasury Department systems contain the technical blueprints for how the federal government moves money, while the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) network contains information on who and what organizations the government employs and contracts with.

What makes this situation unprecedented isn’t just the scope, but also the method of attack. Foreign adversaries typically spend years attempting to penetrate government systems such as these, using stealth to avoid being seen and carefully hiding any tells or tracks. The Chinese government’s 2015 breach of OPM was a significant U.S. security failure, and it illustrated how personnel data could be used to identify intelligence officers and compromise national security.

In this case, external operators with limited experience and minimal oversight are doing their work in plain sight and under massive public scrutiny: gaining the highest levels of administrative access and making changes to the United States’ most sensitive networks, potentially introducing new security vulnerabilities in the process.

But the most alarming aspect isn’t just the access being granted. It’s the systematic dismantling of security measures that would detect and prevent misuse—including standard incident response protocols, auditing, and change-tracking mechanisms—by removing the career officials in charge of those security measures and replacing them with inexperienced operators.

The Treasury’s computer systems have such an impact on national security that they were designed with the same principle that guides nuclear launch protocols: No single person should have unlimited power. Just as launching a nuclear missile requires two separate officers turning their keys simultaneously, making changes to critical financial systems traditionally requires multiple authorized personnel working in concert.

This approach, known as “separation of duties,” isn’t just bureaucratic red tape; it’s a fundamental security principle as old as banking itself. When your local bank processes a large transfer, it requires two different employees to verify the transaction. When a company issues a major financial report, separate teams must review and approve it. These aren’t just formalities—they’re essential safeguards against corruption and error.

These measures have been bypassed or ignored. It’s as if someone found a way to rob Fort Knox by simply declaring that the new official policy is to fire all the guards and allow unescorted visits to the vault.

The implications for national security are staggering. Sen. Ron Wyden said his office had learned that the attackers gained privileges that allow them to modify core programs in Treasury Department computers that verify federal payments, access encrypted keys that secure financial transactions, and alter audit logs that record system changes. Over at OPM, reports indicate that individuals associated with DOGE connected an unauthorized server into the network. They are also reportedly training AI software on all of this sensitive data.

This is much more critical than the initial unauthorized access. These new servers have unknown capabilities and configurations, and there’s no evidence that this new code has gone through any rigorous security testing protocols. The AIs being trained are certainly not secure enough for this kind of data. All are ideal targets for any adversary, foreign or domestic, also seeking access to federal data.

There’s a reason why every modification—hardware or software—to these systems goes through a complex planning process and includes sophisticated access-control mechanisms. The national security crisis is that these systems are now much more vulnerable to dangerous attacks at the same time that the legitimate system administrators trained to protect them have been locked out.

By modifying core systems, the attackers have not only compromised current operations, but have also left behind vulnerabilities that could be exploited in future attacks—giving adversaries such as Russia and China an unprecedented opportunity. These countries have long targeted these systems. And they don’t just want to gather intelligence—they also want to understand how to disrupt these systems in a crisis.

Now, the technical details of how these systems operate, their security protocols, and their vulnerabilities are now potentially exposed to unknown parties without any of the usual safeguards. Instead of having to breach heavily fortified digital walls, these parties  can simply walk through doors that are being propped open—and then erase evidence of their actions.

The security implications span three critical areas.

First, system manipulation: External operators can now modify operations while also altering audit trails that would track their changes. Second, data exposure: Beyond accessing personal information and transaction records, these operators can copy entire system architectures and security configurations—in one case, the technical blueprint of the country’s federal payment infrastructure. Third, and most critically, is the issue of system control: These operators can alter core systems and authentication mechanisms while disabling the very tools designed to detect such changes. This is more than modifying operations; it is modifying the infrastructure that those operations use.

To address these vulnerabilities, three immediate steps are essential. First, unauthorized access must be revoked and proper authentication protocols restored. Next, comprehensive system monitoring and change management must be reinstated—which, given the difficulty of cleaning a compromised system, will likely require a complete system reset. Finally, thorough audits must be conducted of all system changes made during this period.

This is beyond politics—this is a matter of national security. Foreign national intelligence organizations will be quick to take advantage of both the chaos and the new insecurities to steal U.S. data and install backdoors to allow for future access.

Each day of continued unrestricted access makes the eventual recovery more difficult and increases the risk of irreversible damage to these critical systems. While the full impact may take time to assess, these steps represent the minimum necessary actions to begin restoring system integrity and security protocols.

Assuming that anyone in the government still cares.

By Talisa Sullivan, PhD

The late and great Maya Angelou left us with this quote: “You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.” On the journey toward justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion within leadership roles, the challenges leaders of color and women face remain multifaceted and deeply entrenched in stereotypes, biases, and systemic inequities. While the glass ceiling metaphor has long been used to describe the invisible barriers preventing women and people of color from advancing to the highest levels of leadership, it is crucial to explore the broader spectrum of obstacles, which also include the glass walls and glass cliffs.  

The Glass Ceiling

The term "glass ceiling" was coined in 1978 and popularized in the 1980s. It is widely recognized as a metaphor for the unseen and unbreakable barrier that prevents historically marginalized groups from ascending to the highest levels of organizational leadership and management. Originally, the term was associated with women in corporate America and according to Ryan and Haslam (2007), women continue to be underrepresented in leadership positions in organizations due to these invisible barriers. It has since become a fundamental concept in discussions on justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion. Over time, the scope and focus have broadened to include Black women and other marginalized groups. 

As organizations begin to create equitable opportunities for groups historically marginalized by our society, they must gain strategies for breaking barriers. Shattering the glass ceiling requires organizations to actively provide professional learning to dispel stereotypes, interrupt bias and inequities, and create leadership opportunities for marginalized leaders. This means offering opportunities to address systemic barriers and creating an environment where everyone feels empowered to pursue leadership roles.

“My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.”

- Maya Angelou

Glass Walls

In addition to the glass ceiling, the metaphor of "glass walls" entraps historically marginalized people through barriers that segregate employees into specific job roles or departments based on gender or other characteristics. In her article "Breaking Barriers In The C-Suite: Glass Walls Are The New Glass Ceiling," Andrea Carter introduces the metaphor of glass walls, which confine individuals to stereotypical roles or departments deemed suitable for their gender or ethnicity. This limits their exposure to critical experiences necessary for advancement. For instance, leaders of color might be disproportionately found in roles related to diversity and inclusion or community outreach rather than positions directly linked to core business operations like finance. Glass walls create a silo effect, where lateral movement is possible but vertical progress is hindered. These barriers perpetuate a cycle of underrepresentation of people of color in key leadership roles, reinforcing stereotypes and limiting the diversity of thought and experience at the top levels of an organization. For instance, women might find themselves predominantly in human resources or administrative support positions, while men dominate technical or managerial roles. Glass walls hinder career development and limit the potential for diverse experiences and skill acquisition. They also reinforce occupational segregation, perpetuating stereotypes about what types of work are suitable for different groups. Shattering glass walls requires organizations to actively promote cross-collaborative opportunities and challenge the gendered division of expectations. This involves creating an environment where employees are encouraged to work across different departments and roles, fostering a culture of collaboration and mutual respect.

The Glass Cliff

How do marginalized groups end up on the glass cliff? According to research by Morgenroth, Kirby, and Ryan (2020), women and people of color have been breaking the glass ceiling only to find themselves standing on the glass cliff. This invisible barrier refers to the positions that women and historically marginalized people are often placed in when they are promoted to leadership roles during times of crisis or instability. These are typically high-risk positions where the likelihood of failure is elevated, which can set these leaders up for failure and reinforce negative stereotypes about their leadership capabilities. The glass cliff suggests that while breaking through the glass ceiling is difficult, the circumstances under which this breakthrough occurs can be filled with additional challenges. Historically marginalized leaders are often expected to perform miracles in dire situations, and their failure, which is often due to the context rather than their competence, can unfairly tarnish their reputations and careers. This positioning sets them up for potential blame and scapegoating if the organization does not recover, further entrenching negative stereotypes and reinforcing the barriers to their success. Securing safety from the glass cliff involves promoting diversity in leadership and ensuring that support and resources are available to leaders in these challenging roles. Leaders of color often find themselves navigating these treacherous cliffs, where their tenure in leadership can be short-lived due to the challenging circumstances they inherit. The glass cliff jeopardizes their career and perpetuates a narrative of failure that can deter organizations from considering diverse candidates for future roles.

Conclusion

While these translucent fixtures are not physical barriers, they are pervasive and systemic, reinforced by overt discrimination and implicit biases. The glass represents a significant hindrance to gender and racial equity in education, as it limits the diversity of thought and experience at the highest decision-making levels. 

Moving toward transformational leadership is about more than just shattering the glass ceiling. It requires breaking down the invisible walls that hinder progress and securing stable footholds on the glass cliffs. By shattering these metaphoric glass structures, we can pave the way for a leadership landscape that is not only more equitable but also more dynamic and reflective of the rich diversity of our society.

4, 5 and 8 for valentine

ty! oc "roots" ask here

4. What was your OC's childhood dream? Is that still their dream? If it has changed, why did it change and what's their new dream?

When Valentine was young she desperately wanted to be a netrunner who could kill anyone with her mind and never leave a trace. As she grew up she realized that things are rarely ever that easy or that glamorous, and that without a lot more money and resources she was not going to get the kind of job at Arasaka that she wanted. Coincidentally she found she did not actually enjoy being chair-bound for long periods of time, it weirds her out to lose the physicality of her body. She gets anxious and overstimulated.

As an adult Valentine's dreams are much shorter and smaller in scope, for various reasons- most of them depressing. She wants to do interesting work, and she desperately wants to avoid being alone.

5. What did your OC think their life would be like when they grew up? Has it lived up to that expectation?

Valentine's family life was far from perfect but she had the advantage of knowing she was wanted and loved. She always sort of assumed she'd manage to obtain and hold onto some comfortably middle of the pack position at Arasaka and have a wife who thought she was clever and who she could take care of. The kind of person who might be able to live a reasonably long and/or happy life in Night City.

Her life instead has been much more exciting and intense and full of life or death betrayals. It would be wrong to say she hasn't enjoyed some of the ups and downs and passion at play- being in the midst of world-changing events isn't easy, though it's nice to feel like what she's doing matters. The biggest letdown in her opinion is lacking any sort of basic stability or normalcy to her life, so she's always just managing to keep ahead of the chaos trying to catch her.

8. Were there expectations placed on your OC when they were growing up? Have they lived up to those expectations?

Her parents had fairly reasonable expectations for her, honestly. They did push her to succeed, but it was at a level of pressure she needed to make deadlines and do things (ADHD struggling). She was guaranteed some sort of position because her parents were both Arasaka and taking advantage of an incentive program to have kids (not the reason they had her, though). The position she had as a senior tech in Network Operations for a while was the kind of stable, if somewhat boring career that they would have been perfectly happy for her to have.

If anything some of the expectations, if grounded, were a little insulting. Her parents were very honest with her about dealing with homophobia and to some extent transphobia although they didn't talk about that one as much. There was definitely an expectation that she would reasonably temper things about herself which would cause her grief at work. Basically spending a lot of her time masking to make her life "easier".

For the most part, Valentine is not at all living the life she or anyone expected- going through the lowest of the low (fired, shot, parasitically compromised) and then frighteningly high (career revived and monitored by Hanako Arasaka herself). Truthfully, her mother would have been proud of her regardless, and her mama probably would be too if Valentine ever reached out to reconnect.

Interlude:  Men of Flesh and Blood, Men of Paper and Dreams

(Read on AO3)

"I know it sounds cruel, but I never wanted to love you."

Interlude:  Men of Flesh and Blood, Men of Paper and Dreams

     Edward was a prompt, businesslike man by nature, and typically attended to his tasks the very minute they needed doing.

     Except, that is for his charts and notations, which he intentionally allowed to pile up in his desk drawer, only properly sorting and filing them at the end of the week.  It kept the daily flow of work steadier, and had become his preferred way of marking time.  He also appreciated the way it allowed him to look at the week's various problems with fresh eyes, and the comfortable breathing space it allowed his busy, analytical mind; which often threatened, in its quiet way, to overflow its own container.

     Admittedly, it was also an excuse to get a few peaceful hours to himself.

     And so, at some indeterminate point after their quiet dinner, he and Camus mumbled their familiar, absent-minded goodnights—always a bit terse, but somehow comforting in their gravelly, murmurous simplicity—and parted ways; Camus into heavy working-man's sleep, and Edward to his comfortable desk, where he would bask in the gentle lamplight as he ran his neighbor's lives through his nimble fingers for the thousandth time.

      On this quiet night, he laid his coat over the back of his chair, sat down, and stretched luxuriously before pulling out his stack of papers.  Edward knew that some would think it strange, how he unwound by doing more work, but it was simply how he operated.  His practice and his life were as one, and it never strayed far from his mind.

     If it were any other way, I'd have chosen a different career.

     All things considered, the week had not been a particularly eventful one.

     Zavier—the innkeeper's son—cut his finger while carelessly playing with a new utility knife, but it hadn't needed stitches.  Raguna—the young farmer—had been bitten by one of his own Woolies, and came in on his wife's insistence.  Though the bite hadn't broken the skin, Tori could be a bit of a worrywart, and wanted him to be cleansed with some proper disinfectant.  As he imagined how this scene must have played out down at the farm, Edward couldn't help but chuckle in spite of himself at the odd pair.

     Polar opposites, them.  Like two halves of one heart.

     Moving on, he took a few moments to savor the conspicuous absence of Felicity; who had been a near-constant presence—in the Clinic and in his notes—until he took that strange cursed stone off her and witnessed her near-spontaneous recovery.

     Satisfied with his work, Edward placed each page in the appropriate file.  All told, it had been a stretch of relatively painless days, filled with minor blunders and easy resolutions.

     Except for...

     He held the final chart in his hand, feeling a bit unsettled.

     ...Russell.

     With whom, he knew, resolutions almost never came easily.

     When, pray tell, had we last managed to truly resolve anything at all?

     Certainly, they hadn't on the day he'd written up in the chart before him, which felt all the more dense and puzzling for what it didn't contain.

     Edward saw the normal vitals, the lingering cough; the complaints of insomnia, the denied prescription, all written out in his scrawling black hand.  The skittering uneasiness of a human life, preserved in the amber lamplight like the legs of ancient insects, still and absolute.

     But, reading over his notes, he didn't remember stillness.  He remembered the rising frustration in both their voices, the close air around them seeming to crackle and spark, how he reached out before he even realized what he was doing.

     The way Russell's shoulder trembled under his hand, and the persistent voice in his head: "Go to him.  Hold him."

     And then, his rational mind's steady reply: "Not my scope of practice."

     It would have been strange—and frankly, useless—to embrace a patient in a medical context.

     Edward knew this well.  He wasn't a priest, and couldn't cure Russell with the laying on of hands.  But it felt almost worse to do nothing, so he awkwardly split the difference with a mild anti-inflammatory and a few friendly words.

     "Be well."

     As though it were something he could command.  As though, given such divine power, he wouldn't have already made it so.  He said it knowing damn well it was hollow, and Russell...

     (You let him down.)

     ...Well, who knows how he felt?  Edward replayed the moment in his mind, but couldn't seem to figure it out.

     All this time, and you're still trying to read that face.

     Edward went to put the latest chart in its proper place, but decided instead to pull out Russell's thick folder, heavy with time and complaints.

~*~

     I've made many choices I regret, and choosing to cleave you into thirds is certainly one of them.

     (I'm sorry.)

     (I thought it would be easier this way.)

     Though, in all fairness, you never exactly presented me with a cohesive image, and it often feels as if I had to meet you thrice to really know you.

     (If I yet do.)

     The first time—or at least, the first time that felt proper to count—you presented me with your daughter.

     She was healthy, pink, and perfect, and I wondered why you weren't more worried about yourself.  You looked so wan and exhausted that I wanted to check you over right away, but something told me that if I tried to push you, you would never approach me again.

     And I wanted you to feel safe to approach me; as both a patient and a neighbor.  So I kept my touch light, and waited for you to slowly emerge.

     Though introverted and somewhat skittish, you struck me as friendly and very bright, with a sense of languid calm that I found strangely magnetic.  You loved talking about books, and about your efforts to reopen the old Library.  And when I would go on at length about my ongoing medical studies, you would simply listen, the steely jaws of your mind latching onto every crumb and scrap of knowledge.

     I got the idea that neither of us were really looking for friends, but we found each other all the same.

     Our closeness, I suppose, was inevitable.  You lived right next door, and our scholarly priorities set us both apart in this salt-of-the-Earth town.  I began to look forward to our conversations, and to actively seek you out.  You seemed a little confused—and unused to being sought—but you welcomed me anyway.  I suspected you hadn't received enough affection in this life, and that there was a story there, but I couldn't quite figure it out what it was.

     There was a lot about you that I couldn't quite figure out in those days.

     Your face was soft and pleasant, but impassive, and I was never sure how you were feeling.  There were great gaps in your past, which vague allusions to some murky military background only partially filled.  Anyone could tell that you were hurting, but you wouldn't say why, and it felt wrong to press you.

     To find out, I would have to meet you a second time.

     And here's another regret: I'm sorry for not realizing that I met you in the middle of a breakdown.

     By the time you finally came to the Clinic for yourself, I had already known you for nearly a year.  You explained that you hated physicals, and wouldn't submit to one.  But you were dating Sabrina, and she'd been pushing you to get your eyes checked for some time.

     "She says watching me trying to read is giving her a headache."

     You laughed nervously.  I wanted to press you into a more thorough exam, but by then we were dear friends.  I didn't want to do anything to betray your fragile, hard-won trust.

     "Well, those glasses of yours look like they're on their last legs, so I'm glad you didn't wait until they fell apart on you.  Let's just get this out of the way, hmm?"

     You nodded weakly, but didn't reply.  I dusted off my set of trial lenses and got to work, putting you through the tedious interrogation of worse-better-worse until we were both satisfied with the results.  I wasn't trained as an oculist, so it was slow going, but you put up with it so well that it almost felt like a game.

     "...So you'll send my prescription to an oculist you know in the Capitol?"

     I put away the box of lenses.

     "Yes.  And Ivan will deliver your new glasses in about a month."

     You donned the dilapidated, out-of-date spectacles you'd come in with.

     "...Good.  Good.  I'll see you around, Ed."

     Then you stood, swayed, and nearly collapsed.  I caught you before you hit the floor, and guided you to the bed.

     "You're seeing me now, Russell."

     From the very beginning, you were one of the most uncooperative patients I'd seen since arriving in Kardia.  But, by keeping my movements delicate and slow, I did manage to measure your vitals and coax out your history.

     As I took your pulse, you accidentally revealed that you'd scarcely gotten a good night's sleep in over half a decade.  When I gave you back your tongue after examining your throat, you gagged harshly and quietly explained that you were drafted at seventeen; into a particularly brutal frontline border conflict, where you wallowed in nameless trenches for nearly a quarter of your life.

     I picked up my stethoscope, and you warily unbuttoned your shirt, revealing a jagged expanse of blue-white parchment skin.

     "...Yeah, I took a pretty bad Dark spell a few years back.  Now you know why I don't take off my shirt at the beach."

     You tried to brush it off with a bitter little laugh, but I heard your heart racing.

     To hear you tell it, your heart raced a lot back then.  You flinched at sudden movements, had violent nightmares, and—when you slept at all—usually woke not knowing where you were.  Unsure of what else to do, you had taken to drinking about it, a fact that you confessed with that same embittered levity.

     I wanted to lecture you, but I didn't know what to do, either.

     You had me lost somewhere between compassion and sick admiration.

     (You reminded me of things I never wanted to think about again.)

     It was plain to see that you were quickly developing some dangerous habits, but otherwise, you mostly seemed resigned to the fact that this was how things were going to be from now on.  You had a daughter to raise, a library to curate, and a harsh past that was yours alone to deal with.  I couldn't figure out if you were an undefeatable optimist, or just so beaten-down and despairing that you'd come out on the other side.

     Somehow, I knew you weren't so sure yourself.

     I showed you how to hold your head between your legs so you wouldn't get so dizzy when you stood, told you to try eating and resting a little more and drinking a little less, and sent you on your way.

     The next afternoon, I stepped into the Library to return a book, and you greeted me with a familiar easygoing smile.  As though I still had no idea what that smile might conceal.

     And that was where the split began.

     I was never quite able to reconcile the two images.

     In the end, I decided that was probably for the best.  Medicine requires compartmentalization, especially in such a small community.  And—if you'll forgive me—apprehending all your brokenness at once made me feel vastly unqualified, as both a doctor and a friend.  You needed so many things I couldn't give you, so it was all I could do to cut you into manageable halves.

      This, of course, would have worked out better if there hadn't been three of you.

     (If the third hadn't been the first.)

     No matter how well I got to know you, as a dear friend and a difficult patient, I could never quite shake that first wordless impression.

     Of who you were when you thought you were alone.

     Nude, vacant, luminously pale.  Suspended in fragrant water and steamy haze, staring at—or perhaps through—the high ceiling of the bathhouse with that beautiful daydream face of yours.  Before we'd even spoken a word, you had captured my imagination.

     And imagination, I told myself, was where it would end.

     For a few years, I thought I had conquered that third-first image of you.  It was terribly awkward when we filled out your paperwork and I learned you were barely twenty-five.  But, before either of us knew it, you were pushing thirty; the decade between us growing ever more trivial, and visions of you once again haunting me through the long, lonely nights.

     I know it sounds cruel, but I never wanted to love you.

     As much as we enjoyed each other's company, I was terrified of being tied to a perpetual patient.  And it wasn't as though, in such a small town, I had any hope of finding a lover who wasn't a patient, but I somehow knew things would be different with you; more relentless and oppressive.

     Because you, Russell, always seemed to have one problem after another.

     You weren't chronically sickly, like Felicity.  Or a hypochondriac like Tori, or perpetually overworked like Godwin.  You had just been through a lot, and I figured out early on that you weren't the best at caring for yourself.  Your body wasn't being eaten away, but rather constantly nibbled at the edges by countless sharp little teeth; not exactly ill, but never quite well, never quite healed.

     Never quite—in my rather uncharitable observation—allowing yourself to heal.

     You seemed to expect me to heal you, and I suppose that wasn't all that unreasonable.

     Though you remained hesitant and uncooperative, that first exam seemed to have broken some seal inside you, and I began to see you in the Clinic regularly; for protracted colds, twisted spines, unexplained malaise, sleepless weeks, three-day hangovers.  The usual variety of petty agonies accumulated by ill-used, poorly-maintained bodies.

     And, looming above it all, was that orb of elemental Darkness, the crackling sphere of life-sucking shadow that knocked you down so hard you couldn't get up for months.  It seemed to have taken on a mythical quality in your mind; a metaphor of sorts for all that had really drained the life out of you.

     I tried to explain that, while there was a small amount of clinical literature suggesting victims of strong Dark spells occasionally suffered mild melancholy and fatigue, along with somewhat slowed healing and impaired immunity—and that the trauma to your chest may have weakened your lungs and bronchi a bit—the main injury was to your mind, and only you could work to heal it.

     But you were hopelessly hopeful, and couldn't compartmentalize at all.  Indeed, you seemed to have faith that I could fix you simply because we were good friends.

     And that, I'm afraid, was why I knew I couldn't love you.

     (This, too, is a regret of mine.)

     Though I deal with sickness daily, as a living and a calling, I somehow knew that you would wear me down; that your pleas for repair and petulant resistance to the process itself would exhaust the both of us.  That it would drag us to unknown terrible depths, until I lost that prized compartmentalization entirely.

     (I can't let it happen again.)

     You cheery dismissiveness frustrated me.  Your dire self-neglect scared me.  Your constant stream of nagging maladies worried me sick.

     Even so, there was no one I'd rather spend time with.

     And that third dreamy image kept asserting itself in my mind.

     Especially after you began presenting with strange, superficial injuries; a lazy, lurid filigree of damage, usually clustered around the shoulders and wrists, but often trailing across your arms and torso.

     At first, it was just one more thing to worry about.  I suspected blackouts, risky behavior, or even self-harm.  Certainly, your history hinted at all three.  I once had to pick slivers of glass out of your shredded right hand the morning after you'd taken a drunken swing at the bathroom mirror, and you had previously confessed to pulling your hair out in clumps during a bad fit of panic.

     So I diligently noted every mark, every shaky change of subject, and every time you declined to take off your shirt.

     Soon enough, a pattern began to emerge, but it wasn't at all what I had been expecting.  And eventually, that pattern sealed itself not with a kiss, but with an unmistakable human bite mark, scandalously purpling the tender flesh just below your collar.

     When I realized what was really going on, I was genuinely happy for you.

     You were, it seemed, enjoying a shockingly intense sex life.

     Something vital within you was waking up.

     Relieved as I was, it was a little difficult to imagine.  As captivating as I found you, you were such a quiet, cerebral, mousy-looking creature that—though I certainly managed—it could be difficult to picture you having sex at all; let alone the rough, sweaty, bruising sort of sex that you apparently preferred.

     Of course, in time, my imagination did manage to catch up to reality, and it even began to make sense.  Perhaps you just needed to be dragged, kicking and screaming, out of the fathomless recesses of your mind before you could begin to feel anything at all.  And, if that was what it took, I was glad you had someone willing to assist you.

     Once I understood, I stopped charting those purple-red constellations.

     But I never stopped wondering.

     I wondered about you; about what sounds your lover might coax from that pretty throat, and what colors exploded in your mind like gaudy flowers of pain.  And I wondered about more abstract notions; about the uniqueness of each person's perception, and the meaning of pain itself.  Something as ordinary as the soft sag of a threadbare collar, or a sleeve creeping up your delicate wrist, could open a thousand doors in my mind, lead me into a thousand realms of wild fantasy and philosophical inquiry.

     I wondered what it all meant

     And I wondered what it said about me, that I now felt more drawn to you than ever.

     After all, those sensuous wounds represented what seemed, at first glance, like the diametric opposite of my own calling.  But, after many long nights spent alternately cherishing and interrogating your treacherous third aspect, I eventually realized that wasn't so.  It was merely another way of working on and with the body, of invoking its natural processes and responses for the benefit of one who cried out to be completed.

     It was not an opposite, but a counterpart.

     And, as such, it inspired in me a dark curiosity.

     Could I bring myself to do such a thing?  Could I defy the healer's impulse, and everything I'd been taught?

     (Don't tell me you wouldn't do anything to fix him.)

     I already knew the answer.  Every time I asked myself that critical question, I received a barrage of vividly profane images; pale bruised skin, ice packs wrapped in the softest cloth, the dim quiet of a bedroom.

     The satisfaction of damage that I knew how to heal.

~*~

     Okay, I think it's time to pack it in.

     The hour had grown late, and Edward's mind had gone strange.  There was no more to be learned here, so he gently slid the file back into its proper place.

     Goodnight, Russell.  I hope you feel better.

     Edward had wanted to put those strange thoughts to bed, as it were.  But, as he readied himself for sleep, and as he lay awake in the dark, that third Russell refused to give him peace.

     The thoughts and images themselves were not, of course, unpleasant.  Yet still, they made his heart ache and his stomach twist, made his narrow bed feel that much colder, and empty of all that could never fill it.

     You don't really want this.

     (What do I want?)

     He has such little regard for himself.

     (He was ready to let himself be crushed.)

     You've only ever seen him with women, anyway.

     (But that doesn't really mean anything, does it?)

     Stop.  It hurts enough to watch him as it is.

     As much as he tried to call up the second Russell, to summon that sad crumpled-paper man from the fat stack of charts, the third Russell still remained at the forefront; soft, luminous, blushing.

     And—implicit in those tender violet-red constellations—ready for Edward to do anything to him.

     It's not like you didn't almost say something, remember?

     (Of course I remember.)

     Edward remembered, the way one might remember a beautiful dream; the strangeness and sweetness of it all making the whole thing feel blurry and unreal, though the images themselves were still as sharp and singing as fine crystal.

     A carefree, somewhat drunken late-spring evening.  The glistening cobbles of the streets, white roses like dozens of little moons, and one big full moon overhead; witnessing them with the holy silence of a wise, mute mystic.

     Russell, with his easy smile and poetic voice.  Pale face upturned in wonder, diffusing its own share of that blue light.  How the stars reflected in his glasses made him look at once ethereal and dazzled, like he'd stepped out of one of those old folktales where the magic was wild; where careless, beautiful princes were always finding themselves blessed or bewitched.

     And Edward all the while thinking, I love you, I love you, gods, I love you; trying to keep please, let me kiss you, just this once from wending its way past the tip of his tongue and out of his wanting mouth.

     Of course, in the morning, he was glad he'd kept his wits about him.

     But a small part of him still wished that things had gone differently, wondered how that night would have played out if he'd done the reckless thing.  And if the reckless thing had, indeed, been the right thing after all.

     He'd never know, but he could imagine it just as vividly as he could remember that eerie, magic night.

     And, for nearly an hour, Edward did just that.

     Until sleep, dark and moonless, claimed him at last.

Amazing program bones! Let's take a look at the implementation and outcome data.

Back On Track [Initiative - Harris] Outcome Reporting Review

Unless specified otherwise, all data is being pulled from Harris' report

Back On Track [BOT] is the result of an earlier initiative Harris outlined and implemented [DR3 aka Division of Recidivism, Reduction, and Re-Entry] and was outlined and implemented in partnership with LASD and LAP [LA county sheriff's department and LA Probation department respectively] which will mean police, social workers, legal aid support staff, detainee advocates, etc, as well as Harris' on office as the Attorney General and RD3's staff (legal staff, state-social welfare workers and community liaisons primarily).

The bulk of this review will go under a cut for space, and I will include my final determinations below:

Program Outcome Assessment Rating: Limited Independent Efficacy. Limited-to-Fair Combinatory Efficacy**

**Re-evaluation of program critical due to the discrediting of several measures/scales/models utilized in its core premise/service model

Post Description Rating: In-Accurate/Misleading

Review Process Discussion

BOT outlines and presumes the following model as a path of "re-entry" [we are going to define this operationally here as "restoration/implementation of sustainable access to state-legitimized resource supply and distribution systems]. Functional re-entry in this context is considered a pre-requisite for "reducing recidivism rates" which we will define as "reducing the frequency of state-authority enforcment by reducing reliance on state-delegitimized resource supply/distribution systems."

[Image ID: chart representing BOT's outlined program path to re-entry.

Starting block reads "Identifying the Pilot Program - Participant Qualifications: male split-sentence or N3 moderate to high risk inmates. Minimum 4 months remaining custody."

Block beneath this reads "Participant Screening and Assessment - Utilizing best practices tools, perform complete risk and needs assessment, including risk of recidivating, education assessment, drug treatement/substance abuse needs and mental health status."

Third block beneath second reads "Case Management - Each participant is assigned a case manager to develop personal goals. The case manager [sic: will] track and monitor participants throughout the program."

The fourth block below the third reads "In-Custody Model/Program Tracks - BOT-LA participant[sic.] needs will vary based on needs/risk assessment, but all participants receive the core services:

The fifth row is made up of four blocks. Block 5A reads "Cognitive Behavioral Training."

Block 5B reads "Education - High School Diploma & Community College [Career/Technical Education/Academic]"

Block 5C reads "Life Skills/Value Added Services."

Block 5D reads "Employment Readiness."

The sixth row is a single block reading "Out-of-custody re-entry plan"

The seventh and final row is a single block reading "Program Evaluation"

This review will make no moral comment on the assumptions within these operational definitions, and will have a functional conversation about the mechanisms they utilize/interact with. Additionally I will outline the access constrictions that have been addressed or tolerated by the program design.

Notably, the stakeholders listed by the report as involved in development of a re-entry path does NOT include detainees or even, more specifically, potential candidates for the program [or at least is not reported to do so explicitly]. The program was not offered to those identified as low risk for recidivism, focusing on moderate to high risk candidates. Functionally, this means seeking to understand what about a *person* is most likely to increase risk of recidivism, as low risk candidates are being seen as "uncontrolled factors" beyond the scope of the program. Accepted access constriction therefore includes "existing access to legitimate need meeting systems that is made tenuous by crisis." Additionally, the program focuses on areas that participants themselves have some level of influence in, decentering areas where outside forces may be putting the participant at risk for further exposure to state authority enforcement beyond their control. This will inherently make the program less effective for participants who are a part of communities already at risk of over-policing such as racial and ethnic minorities, low-income individuals, people who rely on self-managed substance use/consumption like "drugs"/DIY HRT/other self-managed medical needs, those with disabling mental/physical health support needs, and parolees. This effectiveness gap is not necessarily an indicator that the program lacks rigorous value, but does alert us to the likelihood that it would need to operate in conjuction with a program(s) aimed at reducing such gaps.

Another important note is that the program is being somewhat misrepresented in the earlier comment. BOT did NOT in fact "sentence people to schooling/training/education" INSTEAD of jail, or offer it as an alternative to detaintion in any way. The program would be more accurately described as transitional services prior to and following RELEASE from detaintion. This is not necessarily an indicator that the program lacks rigorous value, but it is notable that advocates for detaintion abolition have been able to demonstrate similar programs both with AND without detention while BOT explicitly does not offer a detention-free path to these services, or strengthen access to the programs that DO offer detention-free paths to these services on its own.

Additional critical notes are that the needs and risk assessments listed in the program outline are by and large standardized for use is legal settings, NOT public health settings [see particularly TCU-CTS, COMPAS, and TCU-CEST]. Additionally, many of the measures were all created by Texas Christian University's Institute of Behavioral Research who has since been forced to recall and re-evaluate SEVERAL of its scales, including ones used in BOT due to national backlash from the mental health "patient" advocacy and clinical practice spheres. Quite literally, these scales have been wholly discredited as having any legitimacy in public health and social welfare work.

We can perhaps assume that Harris may not have known this at the time, however criticisms of the TCU-CTS extend at least as far back as 2002, 14 years prior to program implementation. It would be unwise to presume there is *no reason* behind the choice to rely almost exclusively on correctional-setting exclusive data measures in a transitional setting program, many of which were already controversial within the social welfare research sphere, and several of which are by now entirely discredited and rejected.

I can find no documentation at time of writing suggesting that the use of these measures/scales in BOT was re-evaluated following their peer-reviewed discrediting, despite BOT's continued claim to adhere to evidence based standards. If someone is aware of documentation to this effect, I would love to see a copy for review and clarification.

Finally, I want to highlight two of the "further development" areas highlighted within the exploratory program itself, as I believe the report itself and I are in agreement about these two areas as core vulnerabilities, but I also want people to observe the difference in how I have made these observations and how I am conveying the narrative vs how the report is choosing to present the same points. I believe that, from conception, BOT is operating from a now-discredited correctional/detention based recidivism model rather than a preventative model which is more likely to serve ALL parties and candidates, including both those who were served effectively by BOT and those who weren't.

This does not suggest the program modal lacks rigorous value, however it is critical that any program which has had its fundamentals discredited in this profound and widespread a manner be re-evaluated under appropriate inter-/intra-communal peer review and be adjusted in accordance with any resultant recommendations. At time of writing, I can find no documentation of this process being initiated, in process, or completed. If someone has access to documentation of this process, I would love to see a copy for further review and clarification.
