Thousands of women are sharing this and saying yes, this was their experience, many of them sharing their own horrific 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s experiences. (And almost everyone sharing it appears to be female.)

Today’s the big day for our son Sylvan who has been working on his Lego build ‘Outbreak at Z Corp’ for the last several months and is displaying it at the Bricks Cascade Lego Expo this weekend. Of course we would end up in the post-apocalyptic theme 😀 So proud of him! With @abel-kloster.bsky.social
