It feels like a cult—there's no other way to describe it. After 9/11, they began instilling fear, urging people to distrust anyone who was brown. From there, things escalated, and here we are once more.
History books won’t make sense of this either. It will be up to psychology studies.

JUST IN: A new H5N9 bird flu variant has been found in U.S. poultry for the first time at a California duck farm.

This variant, linked to the dangerous H5N1 strain, has led to the culling of nearly 119,000 birds to stop the outbreak.

As a worried non-US citizen, I've just exhaled half a sigh of relief. Now, I'm figuring out who deserves the rest.

Why? To observe your reactions, judgments, and decisions. Consider it a "what if" scenario, a screenplay, an opportunity to act.
REAL INTENSE CANCER DREAM LAST NIGHT. Because I was out of town my doctors sent me a scalpel in the mail and told me to cut it out myself.
