Oh, you suggesting we hold hands and forgive? Naw. Can't escape cleansing fire season, Spencer. It's called a force of nature for a reason. Your own party kicked off the season of "burn it all down," you lit the match. The fire stops when there is nothing and nobody left to burn.

What if the real "Defund the Police" was the incredible level of rage building after decades of local pds running amok with surveillance tech that ruins even a white person's day? What if? I think we're about to find out. 🤔

It's not attention, it's all about motivation. The drugs enable people to be MOTIVATED to do routine tasks. It's all going down in that mysterious reward center of the brain. #Medsky 🩺

Believe women. Most of us have a story, atleast one unpleasant story to tell. If you are a lucky one like myself, catcalling was the worst of it. It still is miserable, those close calls, that moment when you realize you can't wander free in world because you are a girl and you are being hunted.

Might try to do this at Missouri CVS if the same service is available. I got MMR shot as a kid, maybe 40 years ago? Seems like it wouldn't hurt to get a boost, might save my ass from chronic illness. Should I bother with titer check and just go for it? #MedSky 🩺

If we get a blue wave, the hard part starts in November. If things go well, we will have to work harder and be more tenacious holding balls to the fire than ever before. We cannot afford to be asleep at the wheel at this moment, the season of breaking curses. There are so many curses yet to break.

Propaganda works and voters are dumb, but only up to a point. Once reality "jumps the shark" propaganda can't compete. The same forces perpetuating misinformation lose their advantage over time because humans do eventually tire of the same old shit. Play the hits too much, they lose their power.

Media ecosystems have become aerosolized. We used to watch the same 10 channels, stations, news anchors etc. Now EVERYONE has a different mix of channels/influencers they get info from. Out of a sea of content. So yes, even if it's a hit, there's a very good chance many will not hear it.
