I'm so impressed with CC people in their 20s and 30s. Developmentally, it's just a very difficult time in general, focused on "launching," so there is a lot of pressure surrounding relationships, education, and work.
Since pandemic onset, you have lived through immense threats, which much of society stopped acknowledging in 2022. That can create immense stigma, isolation, and alienation. You may be dealing with health issues or caregiving for family earlier than anticipated, or both.
These challenges are often much harder if money is especially tight, or you're a part of an underrepresented or minoritized group or groups. It's just difficult in so many way.
Anyway, you're the best. I see you. You're way ahead of your time. Keep fighting. 💪😷
It’s extraordinary how a human predator (eg malignant narcissist) can invade every space in your world, stalk, abuse, smear, humiliate, demean, relentlessly pursue, wrongly accuse…. then you step up for once & call it out LEGITIMATELY, WITH EVIDENCE… and all hell breaks loose!
I never understood what most people’s long game is here. Most people have had it a bunch, and they think that means they’re past it somehow, but the waves keep coming and anyone who thinks they can just keep that up is fooling themselves.
“Moreover, COVID-19-related deaths rose 46.4% in a single week.”
As people die in droves in the US this fall & winter, it will be a big mystery, as usual.
We don’t have a functioning public health body, & we don’t keep accurate data.
Why are some people in the Covid aware community starting to amplify the idea that there are variants of Covid that are no big deal?
This virus is a train wreck inside the human body, and all versions of it should be avoided.
There is no mild SARS Cov2
Malignant narcissists, psychopaths target people who are isolated or can be isolated. When you first meet someone never tell them you’re estranged from family, lonely or have just moved. This increases the chances predators will target you sexually, romantically, financially etc.
@LauraMiers And no one cares and no one is coming to help.
I don’t want this world. I want EMPATHY. That’s what separates us from animals. Our ability to empathize and foreshadow to prevent harm. If you’re not doing that, you’re failing your one job on this planet.
Supercharged ableism + people blaming parents for their disabled babies is horrifying & our future is bleak. Since 2020, we’ve known Covid in-utero is causing a wide range of permanent disabilities, & humanity has NO IDEA what Covid is doing to kids long-term. It’s all very bad.
An Italian restaurant chain in California and Nevada has to pay $3 million in a sexual harassment settlement after an investigation identified at least 100 female workers, MANY OF WHOM WERE TEENAGERS, who were negatively affected by the workplace environment.
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission says that supervisors and coworkers at Il Fornaio's 17 restaurants harassed women in ways that included unwanted touching, requests for sexual favors, and explicit comments.
The CEO of Il Fornaio is Ronald Joseph (RJ) Thomas Jr. Company management has denied wrongdoing despite all the evidence compiled by the EEOC going back several years.
Over 100 women and teenagers provided detailed, consistent accounts. Not to mention all the digital and physical evidence like text messages, chat histories, and internal complaint records.
...But sure, "nothing happened," and they're just paying $3 million out of the kindness of their "heart."
Anyone who's ever worked at restaurants has seen first-hand how gross the sexual harassment is. A financial slap on the wrist is nothing. Using the workplace as a weapon of sexual coercion should result in criminal charges.
Really need a study on divorced men becoming the most monstrous men but I suspect it'd reveal these were always masked misogynists who were temporarily satiated, believing they'd procured their rightful property, & women leaving is an injury to their hierarchical entitlement.
PMC COVlD Update, Oct 17, 2026 (U.S.)

Outbreaks span 44 states (see Alt). Levels are falling in TX, still high out west, & up in the Northeast.

Disability can happen to anyone at any time.
It’s not due to deconditioning or a moral failing.
Many chronic illnesses are the result of a viral infection from which the body never recovers.
We need more awareness, treatments & clean air to reduce viral spread.
