I’m personally excited to finally see society judging cheating spouses so brutally.

When I found myself in this situation a decade ago, we were still blaming victims, behaving as if infidelity is inevitable & a non-issue, and if you spoke publicly about it, you were shunned.
Apparently times are changing, & I am here for it. I am SO tired of living in a world that is controlled by the con artists and cheaters.
When I found out, I got on Facebook & started venting publicly, & my family got SO MAD at me for telling the secrets. My cheating husband did not field any of that anger or resentment. But the old days are gone, & now we get to talk about it. It’s delicious.
And society has never acknowledged it is a trauma. Cheaters always got a pass—we heard it was just one of life’s unpleasant realities, & we just have to grin and bear it. Our entire society is built on secrets and lies, & it’s exhausting.

Since Covid destroyed my executive function, I can’t perform a lot of tasks. Hearing, “just do it” isn’t effective. If I could do it, there would be no problem. I can’t explain WHY I can’t function anymore, after decades of efficiency handling business. No one believes me anyway.
I’m on Year 6 of everyone believing I woke up in 2020 and consciously decided to be a piece of shit who actively refuses to do normal life stuff. Instead of being viewed as victims, we’re viewed as selfish assholes who just don’t want to. This is deliberate by the way.
Even the thought of making a simple business-oriented phone call makes me want to kill myself. This is not normal. I had no trouble doing this before. I am getting nothing accomplished because my brain is not right, but society won’t listen or acknowledge this is occurring.

We had a good run. Live science: RFK's proposal to let bird flu spread through poultry could set us up for a pandemic, experts warn  News By Ben Turner published July 3, 2025 HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins have expressed interest in letting H5N1 outbreaks spread unchecked through U.S. poultry farms. Health experts warn it could lead to a new pandemic.
What a terrible idea.

“Instead of culling birds infected with the highly pathogenic H5N1 virus, farmers should let it spread through flocks.

The idea is that by doing this, farmers can ‘identify the birds, & preserve the birds, that are immune to it.’” livescience.com/health/flu/rfk…Live science: Essentially, the longer you allow a virus that has shown to be effective in infecting multiple hosts survive in an environment, the greater the chance you give it to spread, to mutate, and to try its luck at adaptation," perspective first-author Erin Sorrell, a virologist at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, told Live Science. "Worse case scenario, the virus adapts and expands its host range to become transmissible in humans … Now we have a pandemic."
I tend to believe human-to-human transmission has been well underway for A WHILE now.

We’re about to coexist with The Screwworm. 🥰
Beautiful 🤌

The accelerationists are ramping up the accelerationism.
“The screwworm, a fly that embeds its larvae into the living flesh of animals and humans, has spread through Central America, including Mexico.” texastribune.org/2025/05/21/tex…Texas Tribune: Texas braces for an imminent screwworm infestation, a threat to the state’s cattle industry  U.S. Sens. John Cornyn and Ted Cruz hope to fund an operation to kill the parasitic fly before too much damage is done.  BY BERENICE GARCIA AND JESS HUFF MAY 21, 2025 2 PM CENTRAL

Everyone has expertly memory-holed this. It’s chilling.

This phenomenon highlights exactly why we never make progress: Everyone ignores human rights violations when their preferred “side” is in power. They only begin to show concern when the other side takes over & does it too.
I am SO THANKFUL I kept a history of the pandemic on this app for this very reason. It’s like a time capsule.
Here is the thread I kept on the end of pandemic funding under Biden despite RECORD disease & death.

If you needed to secure antivirals, but your doctors won’t follow the science or acknowledge SARS-CoV-2 is a persistent virus that must be cleared, how would you go about doing that? Are there doctors who do remote visits & take cash? Do we go to China? Dark web? Beg? Plead? Cry?
It has been a full year since the NIH Director admitted SARS-CoV-2 is a live replicating virus that persists.

The below thread on all the areas SARS-CoV-2 persists is my most lengthy thread on this app.
China is using repurposed HIV drugs to clear the virus. Western countries are not.

China’s approach “hinges on a crucial scientific move.

That the mechanisms driving SARS-CoV-2’s persistence and immune evasion are similar to those in HIV.”

The number of Americans who are covertly living in storage units because they cannot afford rent is extremely alarming. There is an entire corner of TikTok reserved for those navigating storage unit living.

These are people with jobs & degrees, & they used to have homes…
In 2023, homelessness increased 12% in the U.S. amid RECORD RENT PRICES & lapsed pandemic aid.

In 2024, homelessness in the US increased another 18%+.
2024: “The US homeless population increased by more than 18% in a year…

The number follows a 12% increase the previous year & is the highest since the federal government began an annual count of the homeless population in 2007.” bbc.com/news/articles/…BBC: US homelessness hit record high in 2024
