I Remember Adults Telling Me, As A Kid, To Listen To Doctors And Get My Flu Vaccine And Any Shots I Could

i remember adults telling me, as a kid, to listen to doctors and get my flu vaccine and any shots i could because they remembered Before.

then they started fighting Covid precautions.

i remember adults telling me, as a kid, that the ozone was disappearing and the earth was dying and we needed to recycle and save the planet.

now my parents think climate change is a myth.

i remember adults telling me, as a kid, that racism was a plague, that we had to love and accept everyone, that we should never judge before walking a mile in their shoes.

then they told me that protesting for my Black siblings was wrong.

i remember adults telling me, as a kid, that we needed to give to the poor. working at soup kitchens. making quilts. collecting food and money and supplies. building houses. because it was the christian and just plain right thing to do.

now they look at me, on food stamps with their grandchildren, and lament the "welfare state".

i remember adults telling me, as a kid, that it was easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven and that any rich man, especially an immoral one, should never run our country.

you can guess who they voted for.

i remember adults telling me, as a kid, so very much.

when did they forget?

What's funny about Megan dressing like Bruno and announcing Jujutsu Kaisen as the Anime of the Year is that Satoru's sub VA, Yuichi Nakamura, won for Best Voice Performance (sub) and also voices Bruno. In English, Bruno is voiced by Ray Chase who voices Sukuna (and Choso).

And she's cosplayed as all three of these characters now.

Dealt with a tornado near my area all the while I was on the phone with my mom and stepdad saying they in the process of out running it. WHILE ALSO getting done with a job interview and getting hired afterwards. I am just laying in bed and to say I am emotionally exhausted is an understatement.

Listening to analog horror while sleeping was a trip

All I can say is that having a dream while listening to someone break down an analog horror series was an experience. Literally dream that the new apartment I moved into was coming to life all the while the audio was still playing. It kinda painted a picture of what environment I was in. I thought I was going insane. I didn't help that I had headphones on.
