when they start haughtily asking “well if the vaccines are so great, how are vaccinated people still getting sick?  CHECKMATE libtard!”, i.e. when their position is so weak they have to move the goalposts to “perfection”, I just can’t any more.  If they want to sprint towards the cliff to jump off of it, I won’t stop…

In an ironic way this is actually the complete reverse of what they are saying. Its a fact that no vaccine is 100% effective. Someone immunocompromised like Powell even after vaccination still has a chance to die from a breakout case. Powell more than likely got Covid from someone who was unvaccinated. If these…

Not much of a war when one side is killing itself. But I’m not going to stop them. I don’t have the power to do so anyway. They will listen to neither reason nor rules nor law, so my patience has run out.

Fox “News” is pure American hating propaganda.

Trump seems to have boiled the Right’s ethos down to “never admit fault”, “never admit defeat”, “always attack”, and above all else “trigger the libs”. This mentality has become more important than any single policy stance, any fact, more important than life itself. Because this specific topic has become a “thing”…

Why do so many people want to literally die on this hill?

Shit’s crazy. Like 75% of eligible people are vaccinated. As the population of unvaccinated gets smaller and smaller, they are going to get louder, angrier, and more violent. And everything they do will just convince themselves of the righteousness of their quest.

Are there people out there who think the show is feminist? Can I meet these people because I don’t think they exist.

oh, agreed. this is one of my worst fears, more than creepy faces, etc. just blankets sliding down. absolutely not.

Gah, so creepy! I remember one time I read an old Edwardian era political-satire-as-ghost-story, and it featured a disembodied finger that poked and prodded someone as they lay in bed, and for days afterwards, I was terrified (but also annoyed at myself for being so freaked out by what was essentially a joke). I…

Not scary but kind of nice...

I think one of the creepiest stories I’ve ever heard was from my friend Lisa, about the worst kind of ghost: the ghosts who are all too real. Lisa’s originally from the city of Rostock - a seaport in Germany. It used to be quite the big deal in the old GDR and her family have always had a presence in the shipbuilding…

Posted this to a different website a couple of years ago but deleted that account, figured I’d add to all the tales here that I’ve enjoyed reading. Anyway, here’s the story:

last year during the pandemic i lived in a one bedroom apartment in (portland oregon) a block away from my friend. we’d hang out like once a week until around 11 pm and then i’d walk home alone. one friday i was at her place and while she was working on her ceramics projects for school, i was reading aloud the…

I’ve got lots (unfortunately), but here’s a recent one.

My dad spent the last 3 months of his life in hospice at home. He passed away in the morning and we made the arrangements for hospice to first come and prepare his body before the funeral home came to take him away for cremation. The rest of the day we were exhausted and sad, I cried off and on. A…

I’ve had many encounters with the paranormal since I was kid, but this incident left me scared more than the rest - causing me to sleep with the lights on for weeks.

I was 7 months pregnant with my first child, a son, when my husband and I bought a small rambler house for our expanding family. We soon found out there was something very wrong there.

By 2015 my boyfriend and I had started spending most weekends together. At the time he was renting an older, kinda rundown house with a huge yard in a suburb outside of Victoria, BC. The area had traditionally be a farming community but was quickly being developed into a busy suburb. One Friday my boyfriend, I’ll call…

I forgot that I had this account, so I created a new account in an attempt to post this story. Those posts are currently greyed, so I apologize for the duplications. Anyway, here’s the story.
