World War III

We’re in the middle of World War III and most of America isn’t batting an eye because that’s not the label, Trump’s not in office and most Americans aren’t affected.

Americans are horrible human beings who only see tragedy on their shores or atrocities caused by others across seas. They never seem to see what America does even tho America is the most aggressive military force in the world.

Once NATO was involved, this should have been clear that this proxy war was in the interest of the West. But people are not thinking for themselves; particularly Americans. Because Americans feel their citizenship dictates their knowledge and understanding. They depend on government media, formerly known as mainstream media, for information.

It’s disheartening to be aware of what’s going on but the people around you only know what they are told. They never look deeper. And they take pundits’ opinions as truth. It’s mentally exhausting to get like the world is crumbling around you and people are ok with it. They are going on with their lives like there’s nothing going on. It’s depressing.

Me and You

I like you

But I like me more

I’ll love you

But I’ll love me more

I want to adore you

But I need you to see me

I don’t know you

But I can’t help but wonder and see

I want to know if you are real

But everything in me says you’re not

The doubt is killing me slowly

But not slow enough. It’s torture

I need to be free of this obsession

But I tremble at the thought of our end

I Quit You

I quit you like I quit cigarettes. Each day that I awake, I remind myself that I don’t need you. With every breath that I take, I remember that you are not the air that I breathe.  You will not be the cancer in my heart.  My growth will not be stunted by someone who’s stagnant. The flame that we burned together has been rubbed out of existence on the sole of my boot. There’s only ash.

Classism and Ableism – (originally posted on Twitter)

My eczema gets inflamed and itchy when I wear masks.  Open skin has led to & will lead to an infection.  My Dr. told me to wear a mask as little as possible.  So I spend most of my time outdoors.  I don’t ask others to wear masks because of my situation.  I wear one if I need to.

I’m not immunocompromised.  I’m relatively healthy.  But can still succumb to COVID. I refuse to put my health in the hands of millions of motherfuckers. I think COVID is the first of many pandemics, according to Sleepy Creepy Joe, & we will all need to adjust how we live.

We live in an individualistic society as evidenced by the shit laws in this country.  The most vulnerable are never protected.   Now, the most vulnerable has no class barrier.  People don’t have money for the N95 masks being told to try harder to find free masks 👁️👁️

No one is going to protect you like you will protect yourself. I have said the same thing to family members. The onus is on us to protect ourselves and also to stay away from the most vulnerable, and anyone, if we could have been compromised.  This is the world you  created

There’s no kumbaya moment coming. You people have sat and watched the poor die from a plethora of “preventable” diseases while saying “they should take better care of themselves.” Y’all never say “We should stop allowing junk to be sold as food. It’s killing people.”

And of course there are poor immunocompromised people.  I’m not ignoring them.  But you probably are…. As you always have.  I’m sick of people with money complaining about the fact that they’ve lost access to venues because of selfish people when poor people never had that access.

My ex used to say “nobody ever understands anything until it happens to them.”  And this is what I’m witnessing.  There’s been no real legislation helping the poor for anything.  Most of the legislation either criminalizes poor people or strips them of their dignity.  Y’all did that

Each and every time you let the election cycle go by without the least bit of consideration for poor people, you say you don’t GAF about poor people.  This has been going on for decades.  Now imagine being poor and everyone else not giving AF about you.  This is where you are

When profit is the main driver for medicine, we’ll never have cures.  We’ll never have timely treatments.  How can they have studied a vaccine for decades that works so poorly?  Where are the EFFECTIVE treatments?  For anything? Popping pills for a lifetime hardly seems fair.

COVID has become endemic.  With no cure, effective treatment or effective vaccine that STOPS the spread in sight, we’re in this for the long haul.  People can’t be expected to wear masks in perpetuity.  So it’s a good idea to demand treatment instead of yelling at strangers

America’s COVID death rate is directly related to the state of American’s health and the state of the healthcare system.  While I’m here, shout out to all of the COVID vaccine injured that vaccinated to “protect others” and now those others don’t GAF about you.  You deserve better

De Blasio Passed One Of The Most Regressive Laws

In NYC, Mayor De Blasio realized that poor people do not eat out, go to the movies, have gym memberships, go to bars… So he, the mayor who wanted to end the Tale Of 2 Cities, passed the most regressive law; you cannot work NYC without being vaccinated against COVID.

“Vaccinated People No Longer Need To Take A COVID Test.” That Was The First Clue

We should’ve known something was up when they said vaccinated people no longer have to take the COVID test. It’s like the potential father saying he doesn’t have to take a DNA test because he knows he’s not the father.

America Needs To Focus On Health. We Can’t Booster Our Way Out Of A Pandemic

I was just having a conversation this morning about COVID and fat cells…. We discuss things in my house. Sue me. Many of the COVID hospitalizations are obese patients. COVID attacks fat cells according to a Stanford study that has been around for months. We actually need to focus on overall health for all health outside. Particularly, COVID does not like healthy people. Weakened immune systems can be strengthened with a proper diet and activity. We can of course talk about the affordability of eating healthy. Absolutely. Ask yourself why the government will not mandate the end of highly processed foods to protect our health. But they are willing to insist that you inject an UNPROVEN “vaccine” into your body. When 2/3 of American adults are obese or overweight, we need to reassess our priorities. We can’t booster our way out of COVID. We need to revamp our health.

Russell Brand is worth a follow on YouTube. Also join his mailing list. He posted this video a while ago discussing overall health, fat shaming and the pandemic. I watched it in its entirety today. It’s worth a watch. Or just listen. There’s really nothing to see. But there’s plenty to listen to and think about. Why are we so sure the vaccine is the only way when it’s clear that we actually are unsure as more variants appear quickly as they always do with RNA viruses?

LONELINESS

People get into relationships for all types of reasons. They fall in love. They lust for a person and want to be near them. They are homeless; hobosexuality. Or they don’t want to be alone. That last one is the most dangerous. And I have a saying that I repeat to myself to keep me on point. “Don’t let loneliness and desperation get you into to a situation you can’t get out of.” Hard stop.

Most times, unless we are dealing with a narcissist who is able really hide who they are, we see the warning signals and we ignore them. #BecauseLonely At the end of the day, we need to be comfortable enough with ourselves to know that being alone doesn’t equate to loneliness. We have to be confident and secure and make sure not to take less than what we deserve. From anyone.
