Mailed

I just voted, and it was Democrat across the board. Why?

Because the Republican Party has been infested by apocalypse cultists and wannabe plutocrats. It’s actually very scary in America right now.

XKCD: Homemade Masks

Like, there’s a whole group of people that went out and got infected on purpose. Why?

  • So they could prove that it’s not a life-altering virus but a hoax?
  • So they could enact “herd immunity” in real-time?
  • So they could have antibodies allowing them to party while everyone else shelters in place?
  • So they could inherit their family’s wealth?
  • To prove they’re complete sociopaths?
  • To dance with the devil in the pale moonlight?

The fact that COVID-19 became a pandemic is super pathetic.

It never should have happened.

If we’d had a real president and a real, working government COVID-19 would have been a passing news blurb as people lived their everyday lives.

And that’s the point:

The failures of the current administration have resulted in a horrifying loss of life. 157,729 dead in the United States as of today, August 3, 2020 at 5:20 p.m. PST.

To put things in perspective:

United States armed forces casualties —

  • Spanish-American War: 1,898
  • War in Afghanistan: 2,216
  • Iraq War: 4,576
  • War of 1812: 25,000
  • Revolutionary War: 25,000
  • Korean War: 58,209
  • Vietnam War: 58,209
  • World War 1: 116,516
  • COVID-19: 157,729
  • World War 2: 400,000-418,500
  • Civil War: 655,000

More people in the United States have died from COVID-19 than died in World War 1.

And some people are still insisting it’s fake. Are still running around without masks, purposely coughing and spitting in peoples’ faces because…?

Here’s some XKCD. Insert some humor into your life; it’s the only way to pull back from the horror that is reality.

I have never seen YOLO as such a threat before :/

Seriously dudes: Give scientists the help they need. Not the help anti-maskers don’t want them to need.

I remember watching Digimon. I loved the whole Angemon thing. That first series was the best.

LEN singing “Kids in America” was a great song.

I wasn’t allowed to listen to a lot of music, but that CD was one I got. (I remember reading a lot of songfics and singing the songs, trying to imagine how they should be sung because I’d never heard them. “Hurt” was used in that Xander fic that was like a different background color for every page and I devoured it word by word, it had to be like 200,000+. An unfinished Spander where they totally got together and had a happy ever after because there’s no other option that’s not terrible and sad.)

If you can’t see the above YouTube video, it’s Billie Joe Armstrong covering “Kids In America” for his No Fun Mondays. He’s been covering all kinds of songs, and some of them are really really good.

I’m always so envious of people that can sing. Having a good voice is a great gift in itself.

There’s something wrong with Twitter 🙁

So I was watching Q13 News and the Cancer Society of America guy was visiting, and of course have thoughts about what he’s saying.

Does my account seem like a spam account? Am I a spammer? If they cut me open, instead of cake, would I be made of Spam?

What is even going on?

Does anybody else feel like it’s been a thousand years?

I feel like this horror has been going on forever. Yet I looked up and was surprised that it was June.

The life is literally being drained out of my body. I’m losing time and everything in-between.

Trapped between terror and liberation. Everyday feels like Today. Every moment is Right Now.

So abuses I literally saw yesterday feel like they happened a long time ago. And I know that’s wrong. I know that isn’t right.

I have to fight my instincts and actually pause and think.

Because that’s why it’s systemic racism. It’s everywhere. It’s literally built into the system. And that’s why things need to be repaired.

Some people will be fired because they should be fired. They know who they are, or will shortly be made aware through mandatory social retraining. Because the ones that aren’t killers? Have worked with some for a long time.

That’s some heavy load.

A lot of people desperately need therapy. Some might even need some jail time and/or actual community service.

Just saying.
