Anyway, there’s not really any point to this other than I’m currently in a hospital and waiting room trying to kill some time. Maybe I’ll outline a story about a terrible metal band called Beef Freezer or something. Love y’all <3

Were there freezers full of beef, slowly emptying over the years? And as the freezer cleared out, did anyone say, “I guess he was wrong about the beef?” Or are people just drawn to the act of feeling afraid or angry? Even if they don’t truly believe it enough to act on it? 3/

To a regular viewer, I’m sure it was just the daily thing to be afraid of, forgotten by the following day’s new thing to be afraid of. But I remember it well. “AOC is coming for your beef! Get a garage freezer and fill it up!” What I’ve always wondered is, does anyone ever act on it?” 2/

She's the best cat. She's got spinal tumors that are making her lose her ability to walk and control her bladder, among other symptoms, so she doesn't have much time left. Just giving her as many love and treats as possible while she's still with us.
