The Master and Margarita is one of my favourites... and I'm still mad at the friend I loaned it to. When I went to her house and saw it on her table and asked if she finished it and if so could I bring it home, said "you didn't give this book to me, another friend did." Like wtf. 😭

AIDS first, and now Covid (which is showing it acts a lot like HIV, only worse)... It's all a mess. I hate that governments are so tired to billionaire interests now that they absolutely refuse to value human life.

Honestly with my ability to recall words lately, I feel like I almost have some mild dementia. My memory is cooked. 😭 The last thing my brain needs is a covid infection.
December 2, 2025 at 12:14 AM
Yes, yes I have. 😆

(I really kinda wish I knew about masking as a kid, I was sick ALL THE TIME and so miserable. I probably could have had a much nicer childhood that way if I knew about masking. I was already bullied constantly & relentlessly so I doubt masking would have made that worse than it already was lol)

Also.... I desperately don't want further brain damage as my brain is pretty messed up as it is. (I can't process sounds and auditory input well, can't remember things well, I'm face blind... Just lots of things!)

Agreed. It really didn't seem to be known how airborne viruses could be, like I think I knew some were, but I certainly didn't realise the extent to it. Nor did I really understand what that meant in terms of protecting myself. But now I do! 😁 I just wish others cared too. 😭

Yeah, we ARE doing better here than most places. Which is comforting, but it IS still doing things, even if it's at a much smaller scale. I just don't know. I still think breathing clean air is important.

All I can say is there's quite literally billions of dollars going into campaigns, media, educational textbooks, whatever else which is made to make you ignore real problems. It might feel crazy to pay attention to problems instead of ignoring them (I feel crazy too), but I think it's good to know?🤷🏼‍♀️

Which.... Kinda points to all the rampant brain damage in society to me. I dunno. It's awful that we've come to this.

And I'm really really really sorry about your dad. I imagine/fear there was a lack of masking in the hospital which contributed since sanitation seems to be a thing of the past now.

I've never heard it used that way ever in my life. As a term of endearment sure -- I've heard it plenty of times, but that?! 🤬
December 1, 2025 at 10:15 PM
I failed so epically it wasn't even funny. Constantly one away no matter what I tried. I'm MAD about green. Who in the fuck says sugar in that way?!??!! I'm mad.
December 1, 2025 at 10:00 PM
I can't really deal either sometimes. And it's even worse when people--even FRIENDS (😭😭) give you shit for masking. 😭😭😭😭😭 Ugh. Ugh ugh ugh. Makes people-ing so challenging on the mind/heart/soul.

I guess (not really a plus) I know enough people who have gotten life altering effects from it that it makes me feel justified in staying the course, but it DOES feel wild to see people out just ~living free~ like nothing is going on.
December 1, 2025 at 9:55 PM
But yeah, I thought it would be more pronounced by now, but outside of people having generally less horrible outcomes so far it's hard to really know what's going on. And the people affected the worst from it are probably largely out of society and forgotten so hard to see it that way too. 🤷🏼‍♀️
December 1, 2025 at 9:46 PM
Well, I do feel like most people in my life who don't mask (not all but many) are getting sick over and over and over and over so that immune system damage feels pretty real, and everyone seems chronically tired but who knows how much of that is viral damage and what is *gestures at the world*... 🤷🏼‍♀️
December 1, 2025 at 9:46 PM
I loved that typo tbh. It made me smile 😁

I still firmly believe we're all vulnerable to it, and the mass amounts of organ damage, brain damage, immune system destruction is doing no one any good. *heaviest of sighs* But yeah, I know it must not be, but honestly it's hard for me not to feel like society is filled with sociopaths.
December 1, 2025 at 8:34 PM
We should be still trying for elimination but instead the billionaire class wants us to just "live with it" and honestly the lack of rage about that, and even more so the acceptance of their bullshit narratives just tells me how easily people can be manipulated. I'm so tired. 😮‍💨

It's one of the things that makes me feel happy/vindicated that I always hated the Foo Fighters 😆
