Writing the intro to the Backerkit page and some of you might find it uh...relevant.

My god. Under Trump, the Pentagon ran an anti-China psyop mission to spread fear of China's vaccines through the Philippines and through Muslim populations. They made tweets and Facebook posts urging people to avoid the vaccine www.reuters.com/investigates...

I'm just saying: if all we ever do online is dissect the shitty actions of the 8 worst guys, and draw from this that humanity is terrible, and then use that conclusion to give up all hope for the world, & meanwhile a huge community of activists is desperate for our help... this is bad

I am once again editing a purely humorous book project, and I'm here to report, after re-reading my same jokes 1000 times: I'm the least funny person on earth

So I’m still going through childhood stuff from my parents’ old house, and I have zero memory of this but I guess I made a catalogue for ants. This thing is MANY pages long
