Larry Summers Visited Epstein’s Island During 2005 Honeymoon
In the winter of 2005, just after their wedding at Elmwood — the Harvard president’s official residence — Lawrence H. Summers and his wife, Elisa F. New, traded Cambridge’s cold for a warmer escape.
The couple got married on Dec. 11 in Cambridge, celebrating a cozy reception in the Harvard Art Museum. Ten days later, on Dec. 21, they boarded Epstein’s plane in Bedford, Massachusetts, according to publicly available flight logs — bound for Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas, the standard jumping-off point for reaching Epstein’s private island by helicopter.
Those logs also list Ghislaine Maxwell, who was later convicted as Epstein’s partner-in-crime, and Epstein’s longtime pilot, Larry Visoski, as passengers on the same flight.
I went outside and did yard work with noticeable makeup and painted nails. My neighbors even saw me, but it was fine.
I couldn't figure out what to give the kid. I mean, a king deserves only the best, and the King of Kings doubly so. But what you do get someone who literally has everything?! I mean, he made everything, well at least his dad did? I don't know.
So I'd been studying these earwigs that infest the graineries of my subjects and found this really cool one. The sculpting on its abdomen is just beautiful! So I named it after this kid and brought an amphoriskos of them with me to give to the little LORD.
When I knelt and placed the bottle in the kids manger, the mother just jumped up and snatched it, tossing it in a corner. She and the dad (lol) looked at me like I had grown a second head. I get that bugs aren't everyone's thing but they didn't even look at them! The next dung scarabs I find are getting named after his parents.
Pass the tums, please

Which gets to the rest of my question. Obviously people who don't have wealth will not be able to cope with high inflation and suffer as a consequence. So what should be done to prepare?
Turkey has seen double digit inflation rates, can any investment that is available to an average person keep up with that?
If capital wasn't an issue you're probably right about real estate, but I do not have enough income or savings to invest in real estate. If I did I wouldn't be worried about being able to afford big purchases like a car.
How should one prepare for high inflation?
Title. If I believed my country was about to experience large increases in inflation, similar to Turkey how can I best position myself for the future and what should I take care of now, before it happens?
Would it make sense to only make minimum payments against debt? Should I spend money instead of saving it? If I don't need to make a large purchase now but will in the future, should I go ahead and do it?
edit: I'm talking about 30%-80%+ inflation folks, not the kind of inflation most developed countries have exprienced in recent memory. If someone had enough money to invest in things which could survive that then they wouldn't have to worry about debt payments and making big purchases. I am asking for practical advice for the average person, not a way to invest.

I think I needed to hear that, thank you. One of my big anxieties when I think about transitioning is learning how to be a woman. It makes me think about how hard it was to grow up and be the person I present as today, and I don't want to go through such a long painful process again so late in life.
That kind of thing is odd though because generally it doesn't feel like I'm pretending to be a man. That's how ingrained it is.
The thought of just being myself without any act or pretending is comforting.
Right now I'm at where you both were. Other people transition, not me. It's impossible. My body is too masculine and I'd be a terrible woman. I should just forget about it and yet I don't. There has been significant cracking in my defenses in the past year, and I have no idea where I'll be a year from now.
Well, I mean they probably... Maybe they...

Journal Prompts
It was suggested by my therapist that one way of coping with anxiety and depression are journal prompts.
The point seems to be to have a purpose when journaling. So instead of writing down whatever one is thinking and feeling, take a specific topic to write about and focus on that.
I think it's an interesting idea. So, what are some good journal prompts?

Ones mental image of oneself
Does anyone else have or had a problem creating and maintaining a female self image in your mind? I can barely do it if at all, and it can be a little distressing. I can only see myself as the overly masculine body that I currently have.
I'm not on HRT nor presenting as a woman in public. Maybe if I was my self image would change?
Awww yeaaaahhh

The second describes how Hercule Poirot would figure out you're trans after initially suspecting you of murder and then clearing you're name. Then he gives you a kissy kiss.
When joining a virtual meeting, how close to the meeting time do you join?
I try to join about 5 minutes before because I'm terrified of being the first person or the last.

Post on Bluesky that says, "please stop suggesting I solve my problem by changing my behavior. I do not want to do that."
Close friend came out as a trans woman to me and has started transitioning. She doesn't know that I am trans too.
Long story short, I've known that I was trans long before I had even heard the word. There were signs as early as 4 years old and I knew by the time I was 8. I'm in my late 30's now and I had come to a kind of peace about not transitioning. It's something that I want but because of life, family, and a lot of fear I decided not to.
Recently a very close friend who I've know for decades came out to me as a trans woman.
I want to tell her about myself but I'm worried about planting seeds of doubt about her transition because I've known I was trans for so long and yet haven't started transitioning myself. I'm afraid that if I try and explain why that she might internalize my reasons. If that makes sense. I've never told anyone my truth and I'd so love to have someone to talk to about it. Especially since my friends transition is causing me to second guess myself.
I would appreciate some thoughts on whether I should tell my friend.
