The year was 2008. The indie pop band Tegan and Sara, made up of two queer twin sisters, were on the verge of music superstardom. The internet, a relatively new way for fans to find each other and connect, was helping to propel a rabid community around Tegan and Sarah and their music. But suddenly, things got dark. Tegan was the victim of an elaborate identity theft that upended her entire life, and a catfishing scheme that threatened to destroy everything everything they had worked for.

I think Patrick may be a little tone deaf here.... he says Valentino's work is super affordable.... I don't know anyone who thinks $25k, $50k, $150k is 'super affordable' !!!

Oh boy. I feel for Terry, but... My brother was hit by a car while riding his bike to work and suffered a TBI (traumatic brain injury). He had short term memory problems and did therapy for a long time. It is difficult, but it can be overcome if you want to do the work. sigh.
