Feel free to talk at me. I am merely an unlettered but avid reader.

For me to not censor f-💣 means I’m really fucking mad.. to the point of screaming & tears simultaneously

It’s🤷🏻‍♀️”but what can we do” attitude that infuriates me most

Well actually there’s a whole hell of a lot we could do.. I was already spiraling in despair listening to realizing we’ve made zero progress in 100 years..but then to see that

We are surrounded by idiots & I do not consent to this. I try to be moderate & calm but I’m about to go off the⛓️

If anyone wants to know how we dealt with the Spanish Flu (1918-1920). We didn't.

It was just dumb luck that it became less dangerous. Its descendants carry on infecting people to this day, killing old and vulnerable people every winter.

Melbourne, 1919, and the veteran returns to bad news. Spanish Flu has struck home.
