my brother got covid because he's a college professor and there's not much he can do to mitigate exposure when he has 200+ students per lecture. he's got a baby at home, so he does his best, but.

the governmental website for covid information is now propaganda. not a joke, not hyperbole, not an exaggeration: it's genuinely the definition of propaganda. this is biased misinformation determined to push a political stance. it is being hosted on a government server. it looks like something you'd find in a "top 10 weird internet conspiracy stories (and their origins)" youtube video.

my brother called me when he saw it. he had me type it into google. for a second i legitimately thought that i had typed something wrong. we have both taught college: we have both said "a .gov site is usually a reliable resource." i just stared at my phone for a long, long time.

i thought about how when i was a kid, conspiracy theories were mostly fun and a little spooky. unserious. i remember reading some long, complicated website about how avril lavigne is dead. how bigfoot is real. it used to be funny-and-a-joke.

over seven million people (globally) have died from covid. america has the highest death rate with over 1.2 million people.

the thing is - every time a person dies from something like a mass shooting or poverty or treatable illness - we are told don't make it political. we are told it's just something that can happen. we are told it's sad but what can you do!

the president of the united states is using a government website to try to erase the very-real deaths that he personally caused due to a complete mismanagement of the pandemic. the president of the united states is using a government server to host propaganda, undermine science and medicine, and encourage distrust amongst his followers.

nothing is going to happen. nobody's gonna, like, do anything about it. it's a thursday today, and we are just going to move on from this like we have been moving on from everything else.

yesterday my brother was outside walking his dog, mask included. a guy in a truck pulls up and shouts something about covid and whatever the fuck else. my brother has a good sense of humor, described it to me as enthusiastic! i hadn't ever been catcalled before, this was new and therefore thrilling! i do see why you hate it, though. like. i have actual covid, does he want me to cough on him?

my brother doesn't get extra time off work anymore, because the cdc practically doesn't exist. my brother said i'm not exposing 200 students to covid. his boss shrugged and said: who cares? they're going to get it eventually anyway. like it isn't a pandemic.

like it's just a fucking thursday, and who cares about it.

Currently my favourite youtuber (tiktokker but I just have yt shorts) is that guy who makes videos that are all like "listening to The Weeknd's new album" or "Drake's funeral" or "Doechii's tiny desk concert" and its all background audios of him making parodies of the songs with very literal lyrics (like "artists admitting to crimes in their songs" and its him spitting bars abt the exact dates and times of different felonies 'he' committed, etc) and the video itself is a close-up of his face reacting to the music. Cause like on the one hand it's always hilarious and on the other he's actually a crazy good rapper and singer. Zaydante they'll never make me hate you

I am finally moving! Trying to get out of my bad living situation has been a huge struggle for the past few years, and it's finally happening ;_; !

It's under very short notice (one week until my move-in date! scary!!!) so I'm cutting it extremely close financially. I set up a ko-fi goal to help me fund my moving costs and get settled in my new place. Anything at all would help me a ton. I've had to ask for help a lot lately, but the end of a lot of my struggling is in sight!

Thank you so much for looking!

Oh, and by the way, that Supreme Court ruling is where that Harry Potter money goes.

Cutie Honey (2004) is worth watching just for scenes like this. The effects don't even come close to approaching anything resembling realism, which is why they ended up being so fun.
