Dear Big Pharma, FDA & Whomever Else It May Concern:

 

FIX THE FUCKING ADDERALL SHORTAGE FOR CHRIST SAKE!  This has been going on for 3 consecutive years; there's no excuse for it any longer.  And it's starting even earlier than usual this year--March instead of the Summer months.  

I was just informed after a week of waiting that I shouldn't expect my prescription medication WHICH I REQUIRE TO LIVE SAFELY ON MY OWN for the next few days or maybe even another week.  "We haven't gotten any of the 20 mg. Extended Release in a long time" were her exact words.  Boy, that's reassuring for someone who struggles with unexpected changes of plans on top of major executive function issues & a serious sleep disorder.  How you gon' be a pharmacy with no medications?  Dreadful!

In all seriousness, this is not okay.  Like not at all.  And Adderall is far from the only Rx drug they've been unable to keep in stock since 2020.  A loved one was unable to get her antidepressant and ended up at the Walgreens counter crying, shaking & threatening to hurt herself after driving all over town last summer in the heat, so they ended up giving her someone else's meds.  She was in acute withdrawal & was not just being a diva about it. 

Do they not realize that quitting a medication abruptly, regardless of what it is, can cause severe and even deadly withdrawals?  (By "they" I don't mean the lowly pharmacy techs who have no control over this issue of course, I mean "THEY" the multi-billionaire pharma bros & FDA chiefs who form a revolving door from one agency to the other, simultaneously getting rich from overpriced patented drugs while fighting tooth and nail to ban anything that would compete with their monopoly on our health, like kratom, N-acetylcysteine, CBD & the wide range of once-OTC substances they made Rx-only with the deceptively named "COVID CARES Act").  

While the government may not CAUSE crises like COVID or 9/11, it's certainly true that they never let a good crisis go to waste.  

But y'all capitalism-lovin' freedom fighters keep pushing the propaganda against universal healthcare while simultaneously bitching about the price of drugs & the shit-tier quality of healthcare.  Sorry Jethro, but you're gonna have to pick one.  Just like the pro-drug war climate change deniers who also believe illegal immigrants are the scourge of this nation, or the bootstrap-pulling assholes who oppose the existence of welfare AND paying all workers a living wage, your views cancel each other out.  Either things are going to get progressively worse in regards to how badly private insurance companies, doctors/hospitals & the pharma companies are ripping you off, or you're going to try doing what the rest of the developed world is doing by taking the profit motive out of medicine.  There is no viable third option.  If you're against illegal immigration, you can't support the drug war which is driving people across the border in droves as they flee cartel violence (while the rest are simply starving due to crop failure caused by climate change, as was the case with the 2018 Guatamalan "caravan").  Ditto your conflicting views on starvation wages & ending welfare.  YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO PICK ONE.  

Sorry, was my all-caps button stuck again or was I yelling?

It's just so frustrating watching our public institutions rot while our private and corporate ones continue outsourcing jobs to the lowest bidder, resulting in an ever-worsening standard of living for the rest of us.  The reason there was no food on the store shelves during the pandemic is because we get 99.999% of our products from China and other nations abroad.  When all the other countries responsibly chose to lock down during the pandemic, no ships were moving our shit.  All this talk of China plotting a nuclear attack is laughable when all they'd need to do is cut off our supply of food, drinks, tech, textiles, drugs, medical supplies, electronics & other goods and we'd be toast.  That's not a "communist plot" on China or Russia's part, it's a direct result of OUR politicians signing bills like NAFTA that allow our labor to be outsourced to sweatshop kids overseas, prison inmates at home & undocumented immigrants who get soaked in pesticides daily so you can eat cheap fruit.  And your lack of understanding of the problem/failure to do anything about it is a direct result of the crumbling of our public education system.  

But yes, let's have a literal replay of 2020 with two elderly demented stimulant abusers running for POTUS so everyone can get enraged at each other instead of noticing how badly we're all getting screwed.  Come to think of it, maybe that's where all the Adderall is going.  🤨 💊 🇺🇲 🫡

 

Rumors that Trump snorts Adderall have circulated since "The Apprentice," while Biden's ancient ass has to be amped up just to function.

Trans Rights Slacktivists Show True Colors Again

 

Popular feminist saying from back in the day.

If you ever needed proof that the modern trans rights movement was an anti-woman psyop, look no further.  This vocal minority stays pressed about anything we women try to do... any tiny piece of the pie we try to take for ourselves including our feminist slogans.  Exhibit A:

Username checks out.   🙄

Translation:  the future is male, but with extra steps (and a ghastly lack of punctuation, apparently).  And throw in some self-hating handmaidens for the optics.  Gotta meet the quota and all.  😒

When's the last time a woman built an atomic bomb, cut off an infidel's head, shot up a church or Piggly Wiggly, hijacked a plane full of innocents & flew it into a building, used rape as a weapon of war, bombed a bunch of schools/hospitals/refugee camps in their own so-called "holy land" or otherwise made Earth an uninhabitable hellscape?  Oh, that's right, we were too busy raising YOUR kids & marching for peace in the desert while being killed in the crossfire of your egotistical wars to get up to anything that diabolical. 

While there are certainly exceptions (looking at you, Hillary & Ghislaine), women are by far the less brutal half of the species, yet privileged little twatwaffles like this spend all day sperging for imaginary internet points about how a female future is somehow a bad thing.  (We run no risk of having a female future anyway.  We've never even had a woman corporate-sponsored teleprompter reader, err--president in the 200+ years this nation has existed.  The monsters with the ability to rape, impregnate & physically overpower are the ones who will maintain dominance so no need to pour salt in the wound there Chester.  Not when so many of us still die in menstrual huts, childbirth and FGM rituals worldwide every year).  



The Real Colonizers

"Look what I can do!"  Trans Rights Slacktivists give off big Stuart Larkin energy.

You wanna talk "colonizing"?  How about those who are currently colonizing womanhood, blatantly attempting to erase actual women with minimizing, degrading terms like "uterus-haver" & "vagina-owner" while muddling the concept of actual womanhood to the point of meaninglessness by redefining it in your own narcissistic image?  What about the hideous knuckledragging troglodytes flooding lesbian dating spaces, throwing manic tantrums & inventing rapey terms like "cotton ceiling" when women predictably turn them down?  There's literally a culture of corrective rape going on and nobody's even allowed to talk about it for fear of being labeled transphobic...  how's that for "colonizing?" Or the fact that the question "What is a woman?" is on the lips of every talking head reporter from here to Hanover while not a single soul is asking "What is a MAN?"

Our existence (women) & identity is up for debate by every flavor of male and female on the planet--yours (men/males) is not.  Sit with that for a minute and contemplate what it means.  We're being talked about like we're not only NOT 50% of the human population but like we're not even in the room.

Or we could talk about the epidemic of trans-flavored conversion therapy that's being branded as lifesaving treatment to America's impressionable gay & autistic youth, who are turned into lifelong medical patients via the Big Pharma pipeline of pronoun change > puberty blockers > hormonal therapy > surgical mutilation > a lifetime of regret by groomers like you, who lie to them on the internet about how hip it is to be trans.  The same creeps that are fighting tooth and nail to get sites like Kiwi Farms wiped from the internet for merely archiving the pedophilic & incriminating things you've said in your own words over the years.  Kids who will overwhelmingly outgrow any actual gender dysphoria they suffer from in childhood.

But y'all don't wanna talk about that.  You're masters of whataboutism & issue-dodging. And when that doesn't work you break out the emotional extortion tools:  suicide threats, self-harm statistics & all the rest.  Typical Cluster B behavior.

Enough is Enough

I'm sick to death of these whiny Gen Z knowitalls bemoaning progress and attacking people who are not the enemy in the name of earning fake woke points.  In this late stage capitalist hellscape, you're either WITH the patriarchal oligarch oppressors or against them, and it looks like these types are with them based on who they spend their time & energy calling out (and more importantly, who they don't).  This is why we say LGB DROP THE FUCKING T.  Because we have nothing in common with you, you don't respect us and we want no part of your self-aggrandizing crusade.  Stay tf out of our bathrooms/changing rooms/locker rooms/sports and especially our prisons/rape crisis centers/homeless shelters. 

As human beings you're entitled to basic human rights like housing, marriage equality, the right to exist in public without getting harassed & assaulted, healthcare (excluding cosmetic & elective procedures), equal employment & the like, but that's it.  You're NOT entitled to compel the speech of others & force us to play along with your delusions, especially when your fantasies come at the cost of our physical safety & hard-won progress. Your mental health and "validation" are your responsibility alone.  

Women of all races, ages, political persuasions, socioeconomic backgrounds & sexual orientations must UNITE on the basis of our shared oppression & desired goals. LGB people must also UNITE for these reasons.  But the Trans and Queer (and whatever the sketchy-ass "plus" stands for) need to work for their own gains and quit appropriating our language & tactics, riding our coattails & setting back our progress by soiling our image with their dreadful toddler-like behavior.  Your brand of gender woo is akin to a religion, which is your right due to religious freedom laws in this country, but it is not shared by everyone.  Not even close.  Stop trying to make fetch happen.  "Fetch" being the belief that souls have genders in this case.

You're free to believe as you please but so are the rest of us.  Not everyone buys that souls have genders, that gender is distinct from "personality" or that how you feel in your head trumps your physically observable biology.  You're a minority and as such, you're going to face some hurdles & hardships.  What you CAN'T do is force others to bow & submit to your way of thinking just as they can't force you to conform to theirs.  That would be fascist & authoritarian and anti-American.  The only person you control is YOU.  If you don't like what someone's saying, press mute or change the channel, but you have no right to try & shut down their speech via public/government censorship or corporate/private intimidation tactics like getting them fired, doxxing them online or other creepy borderline stalker methods.  All this does is highlight the weakness of your argument anyway.  If you had anything of value to contribute to the discussion you'd be an adult & use your words to form a counterpoint instead of reeeeeeing like a stuck pig on the way to slaughter.  If you were actual women you'd be labeled 'hysterical'.  

A Female Future Sounds Good to Me!

Nobody's saying females are superior or that males should bow down & subjugate themselves to us.  Not even radfems.  We don't want to emulate you cruel fuckers.  Goddess forbid.  But there has to be a BALANCE between this greedy, hyper-masculine warmongering energy that's driving the country into ruin and the human race into extinction and what women have to offer.  Finland, run by a female Prime Minister from 2019-2023, is the safest, freest & most stable country on Earth (among other amazing things).  Equality between the sexes also ranks high there, but when a demographic is used to being on top, equality feels like oppression so I guess many of you don't want that.  Hence the wallowing & bleating.  🐖

The Peakening is upon us sisters, I can feel it.   And when it comes it'll be as big or bigger than #MeToo.  It will feature detransitioners, lesbians raped & harassed by males LARPing as females, trans widows & their kids abandoned by narcissistic men in mid-life crisis mode, parents of kids who transitioned & ended their lives anyway, trans people living with botched surgeries & horrific side effects from hormones/puberty blockers, CSA victims of trans"women" & Drag Queen Storytime performers, kids whose Munchausen moms transitioned them for a reality show/book deal or due to homophobia, women locked up for non-violent crimes who were raped in prison by their bepenised cellies, hardworking (liberal) people & intellectuals kicked out of their universities & careers for respectfully expressing a different opinion... the list goes on and on. 

And the lawsuits.  Oh-ho-ho, the lawsuits.  A truly diverse group of people from many walks of life will have been harmed or even killed by this social contagion by the time it burns itself out.  Headlines about class action lawsuits against the manufacturers of Lupron & all these horsepiss hormones prescribed off-label in huge doses for "gender affirming care" will be inescapable.  The ACLU & Planned Parenthood, once paragons of the Civil Rights Movement & women's reproductive care but now on the frontlines of helping minors transition, will get such backlash it'll make the anti-abortion venom they've received all these years look like a bad Yelp review.  Prisons where female inmates were locked in tiny cells with self-ID'ed males with all their male reproductive organs intact, raped & impregnated against their will shall be made to pay both monetarily & socially as bad press causes a wave of protests sparking firings, early retirements & closures.  And that's just the tip of the iceberg.  You heard it here first.

We just need a few more years for the data and the bodies to pile up so the (mainstream liberal) media can finally grow a pair & deem the story "safe" enough to tell.  I'm talking about big national news stations like NBC, CBS, PBS & NPR.  Unfortunately we don't have real journalists in this country anymore--the ones willing to risk their careers and their very lives to break a story while it's still in progress.  Gary Webb is dead of 2 gunshots to the head; Assange is rotting in prison & Snowden is still exiled in Russia.  Conservative outlets like FOX News & Newsmax are currently the only networks with the cojones to tell these stories, which is a sad commentary on where we are as a society.  But I give them kudos for it even if their motivations may not be pure. 

If you doubt what I'm saying, just look how long it took for public opinion & media coverage to turn on Epstein, Weinstein, Cosby & R. Kelly.  (And Jimmy Savile across the pond).  Everybody in the journalism world knew but nobody wanted to speak up... or maybe they weren't allowed to.  Same thing here.  But when the worm finally turned it did so with jarring rapidity:  it was a domino effect; a shitstorm of mammoth proportions.  These men were tarred, feathered & most importantly, locked up with the quickness.  A flawless victory for victims everywhere.  

All this to say:  Enjoy your smug reign while it lasts because the social pendulum ALWAYS swings back harder than it swung in the other direction.  See: our attitudes toward opioids.  "OxyContin is not addictive" became "OMGz we must stop opioid prescribing at once these drugs are the devil wow where did all this fentanyl come from must be China/Mexico hisssss."  And all this shit.  

Perfect representation of how trans have overrun teh gayz.

In the meantime keep running your mouths.  You're telling on yourselves & digging a deeper hole than Matt Walsh or any of your worst critics ever could.  Anyone who can't see that this "movement" is just regressive misogyny & conservative homophobia dressed up as progressivism is as lost as Ray Charles in the catacombs with a blindfold on.  It's a lipstick-on-a-pig situation in the most literal sense. 

Prior to the rise of the modern trans rights movement (i.e. Tumblr & TikTok) around 2010, support for gay marriage & women in the workplace was at an all-time high.  Now support for gay rights has dipped massively even among Millennials & Gen Z.  Might that be due to the transition from "gay rights" to the alphabet soup nightmare that is "2SLGBTQIA+"?  (Yep, now they're adding fucking numbers to the soup.  What's next, Greek symbols?  Emojis?  Gifs?).  The aesthetically pleasing rainbow flag morphed into the fugly but ironically accurate atrocity you see above, with the trans portion appearing to storm and trample the rainbow from stage left.  It all reeks of narcissistic navel-gazing on steroids.  Or perhaps hormones.  Whatever.

I could go on but I'm preaching to the choir.  The "folx" who need to hear it will just dismiss it as twansphobic TERF rhetoric which is fine.  I reject the "TERF" label not because it's necessarily inaccurate but because I refuse to define myself according to my proximity & attitude toward men, be they trans or otherwise.  No acronym in which the first word is "trans" will ever define me.  Plus it's hella newspeak-y and cultish.  You say TERF, I hear "apostate" or "suppressive person".  So keep saying it & I'll keep laughing at you, just like I laugh at the notion that a (straight white) male in a dress could EVER be an oppressed minority in a world literally run by (straight white) males.  I repeat:  stop tryna make 'fetch' happen.  It's not going to happen.   

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Note: the Plato of memes up there didn't say "the future is female AND these other things," rather "the future isn't female".  Yet they swear up and down they don't want to erase us and just want to be inclusive.  Horseshit.  That's literal erasure in 280 characters or less.  And where are lesbians on that long list of orientations & gender identities?  Funny how you can find a space for rare/random orientations like 'asexual' and 'pansexual' but not 'lesbian'.  

And btw "female" includes women of color, sex workers "getting coin," natives rising up against their colonizers, gay/bi/pan/asexual/disabled women & all those other identities so what exactly was the purpose of this rant if not specifically to insert peen where it's not wanted?  Sex and gender are not the same according to these science savants, thus female sex is not contradictory to a genderfluid or nonbinary gender identity per se.  Men were the only ones excluded by the phrase "the future is female" and these narcs can't STAND that.  I humbly invite you to die mad about it.  😥🎻🎶  <--- (World's tiniest violin)

Feminism is by & for women and that'll never change.  It's not a female supremacy movement & doesn't require any special belief system aside from believing in women's inherent worth & equality to men.  The only caveat being that "woman" is not a category you can identify into or out of--it's a biological reality.  Being feminist is a choice; being a woman is NOT.  "Woman" = Adult + Human + Female (XX chromosomes, estrogen/progesterone dominant over testosterone; female reproductive organs & gametes present).  When it comes to radical feminists, we believe that the clothes & hairstyles do not make someone a man or woman, and the very notion that you can "feel like a woman" is offensive & sexist.  In other words, you can be as gender non-conforming and androgynous as you like but your SEX is never going to change.  

We're about breaking stereotypes, not breaking our necks to reinforce & adhere to them.   👊🏻

Tianeptine: Safe Antidepressant or "Gas Station Heroin"?

Alright News Nation, you just lost yourself a follower.  

Well folks, I regret to inform you we're doing this again.  The thing where enterprising Americans learn of an obscure mind-altering substance, use it to spike some random concoction, sell the concoction to kids in shady places like gas stations & truck stops, and then the world acts surprised when people die from it.  The media labels it a menace & then the really tragic part inevitably follows:  it's moved to Schedule I where the supply gets even MORE tainted & we lock more Americans up for its possession.  That hasn't happened to tianeptine yet but it's guaranteed to at this rate.



Tianeptine Sodium vs. Dirty Tianeptine 

Tianeptine sodium (Stablon®, Coaxil®) is a tricyclic antidepressant prescribed in Europe & Asia.  Its mechanism of action wasn't known for a long time.  It was thought to be an SSRE, that's Selective Serotonin Reuptake Enhancer--the opposite of what SSRI's like Prozac and Zoloft do.  But it's now known to be a mu-opioid agonist which explains its uplifting effects on mood that kick in immediately after the 1st dose--a benefit over antidepressants prescribed in the States that have to build up in your system for weeks or a month before you feel anything.  A downside is the effects are short-lived & require dosing multiple times a day.  The typical starting dose is 12.5 mg three times daily for depression.  The related drug amineptine was placed in Schedule I in July 2021 despite NO recorded history of use or abuse in the United States.  

Legitimate tianeptine

 


In 2016 there was a shortage of tianeptine sodium so research chemical manufacturers started making tianeptine sulfate--a longer-acting form of the drug that's not approved anywhere.  And now shady vendors are marketing all manner of tianeptine products with names like "Tianaa Red" and "Neptune's Fix" in the form of capsules, liquid "shots" & more.  Like kratom, anyone of any age can purchase these potions which is a problem.  The dosage is often incredibly, dangerously high or unknown and they may contain other listed or unlisted ingredients.  (Neptune's Fix was found to contain two synthetic cannabinoids & kava when tested in a lab).  This is just plain retarded.  Forgive my language but this should be illegal for ANY supplement & the manufacturers should be locked up for reckless endangerment via overdosing the product or failing to appropriately label it.  Simply "recalling" it doesn't suffice.

Illegitimate tianeptine

Unlike depression patients who are prescribed the drug, recreational tianeptine users often take gargantuan doses alone or in conjunction with other substances, and sometimes they inject it.  When injected, tianeptine has a similar effect on the veins (warning: graphic!) to krokodil due to its tendency to clump & gum up when wet.  In lower doses it lacks the physical warmth of opioids but apparently at high doses it's incredibly addictive.  (I wouldn't know:  I used tianeptine, both the sodium & sulfate forms, for about 2 years to help with benzo withdrawal & had no such problems because I stuck to a sane oral dose & didn't buy it at a gas station.  Funny how that works).  In a blind test I wouldn't have even labeled it an opioid as it wasn't discovered to be one until the tail end of my usage & didn't feel like one in recommended doses.

Another Day, Another Drug War Casualty

The U.S. leads the world in overdose & addiction.

We live in a nation where people abuse diarrhea drugs and antihistamines for a buzz, so it should come as no surprise they would resort to abusing an antidepressant to get high.  You can ban tianeptine, but then what?  The real question is:  At what point will lawmakers start looking at the demand side of the supply-demand equation of the drug problem?  What is it that drives Americans to abuse drugs to this degree and become addicted/overdose at rates that exceed any other country on Earth?  When should we cut our losses with the Drug War & admit defeat, opting instead for harm reduction & sane drug laws that will demotivate users to resort to such extreme measures to obtain a head change?

Meta-analyses have found that recreational tianeptine users in the U.S. use the drug for 3 main reasons:  to mitigate drug withdrawal symptoms; to treat psychiatric symptoms & to improve overall quality of life/mood/performance.  Are those even "recreational" purposes?  I don't know about you, but I don't see "party my ass off," "escape my problems" or "get shitfaced" anywhere in that list.  Those are all legitimate reasons for using a drug even if their methods are not.  Maybe if we had universal healthcare that included mental healthcare and addiction treatment, some of these users wouldn't resort to using a cornerstore concoction for their health needs.  And if safer drugs were legal there wouldn't be a market for bizarre shit like this.   

That's the thing about "demand":  banning the thing in demand doesn't make it go away, it only makes it more dangerous.  This is true for drugs, porn, abortion, gambling & anything else a large number of humans partake in.  You haven't really 'banned' anything--you've just driven it underground where criminals control the supply & profits.  And in the case of drugs, banning one novel chemical only leads to a more exotic/less researched one popping up in its place.  Arresting one dealer only allows the one beneath him to move up the ranks.  Our drug laws unfortunately make both legal and illegal drugs more dangerous as regulators refuse to oversee their sale or enact sane regulations (age restrictions, labeling laws, purity/quality testing, etc) on both black market drugs (heroin-now-known-as-fentanyl, crack) and grey market substances like kratom or tianeptine.  It's a hands-off approach where only law enforcement steps in and only when things have reached an advanced stage.  Everyone loses except those who profit from keeping certain drugs illegal.

Some addiction center's lame ad.  Drug treatment is a $42 billion/year industry in the U.S.

Whether the drug in question is bath salts, kratom, Spice/K2, salvia, tianeptine or something else, it's not so much the drug that's killing people but lack of education about its effects and reckless use/marketing.  If you were to take an equivalent (over)dose of aspirin or Tylenol you'd die a horrible death as well.  People who expire from these drugs are almost always overdosing on them and often mixing them with other drugs and/or have pre-existing health conditions.  Thus, there's nothing inherently deadly or harmful about tianeptine when it's used correctly.  It's neither a miracle nor demon drug, just like Ozempic, kratom & every other drug we have this debate about.  The dose makes the poison, period.  What sucks is that people who might actually benefit from its medical use will no longer be able to access it once it's placed in Schedule I, at least not from a safe/reliable source.  Scientific research will be halted & the same people abusing it now will continue abusing tianeptine or some similar substance for a high.  You've saved no lives & ruined many.

If you think locking users in prison (i.e. what happens when we ban a drug) is the solution, you haven't been paying attention for the last 80+ years.  

India Willoughby is a Man

You heard me.

I live in the U.S. where we don't have batshit crazy laws like the "Equality Act" or the "Gender Protection Act" that compel people to play along with narcissistic men's fantasies & refer to them as women or face criminal prosecution.  Not yet anyway.  We could soon if the public doesn't wake up & put a stop to these unconstitutional bills like the one Biden passed that weakened Title IX to the point of uselessness, swapping sex-based protections for females with gender-based protections for everybody who claims to "feel" like a girl, whatever the regressive fuck that means.

Still, we've got a hair more freedom of speech than other so-called developed nations like Canada & the UK so I'll continue to scream it from the mountaintops and let it echo through the valleys like the beautiful song of truth it is:  

India.


Jonathan.


Willoughby.


Is.


A.


Man.  ♂

See?

Won't you sing it with me, o loyal readers?  Whether you believe in gender ideology or not, it feels good to exercise your freedom of expression.  The idea of law enforcement wasting their time & resources investigating a case of "some meanie hurt my feelers on the internetz!" would be laughable if not so offensive.  In the time it takes them to respond to that call, some innocent woman or child is being battered by an abusive man.  A drunk driver is taking out an unsuspecting car full of people, a rapist is molesting a child or slipping knockout drugs in someone's drink.  Another rape kit goes untested, another unsolved murder case goes cold because police "lack the time and resources" to devote to it, but they somehow have the time to devote to THIS sideshow?!  No, the real crime here is the degree to which society caters to the inflated egos of these maniacs & just how far they'll go to silence women.  

Infuriating, but at least we have the fact that India Jonathan Willoughby is and will always be a man. Today, tomorrow & always.  If forensic anthropologists dig his bones up 300 years from now, they'll identify him (correctly) as the male that he is.  True, he is "legally" considered a woman but biologically every cell of his body tells a different story, from the XY chromosomes to the male gametes (sperm) to the lung capacity & bone structure.  If that offends you, Jonny boy, take it up with nature.  MOTHER Nature.   🌬 🌎

When a law is unjust, it's our duty to break it.  This is one of those times.  Slavery & segregation were once legal.  Women couldn't open a bank account in the U.S. until the 1970s or vote until the 1920s.  Homosexuality was considered a mental illness until 1973 by the APA & gays were routinely arrested at gay bars, where police carried out elaborate sting operations to "catch them in the act".  Each and every one of these bad laws had to be loudly & persistently protested, sometimes violently to the point of war, to get it overturned.  

All this to say, legal does not necessarily  = moral or scientifically sound.  The lawmakers who dictate our drug policy now are making things so much worse due to their total lack of knowledge of new & emerging psychoactive compounds--every time they ban a drug, a worse one pops up in its place.  Maybe, just maybe, these progressive-in-name-only lawmakers who draft these trans-coddling bills like the Gender Protection Act are getting it wrong too.  Because I assure you, there's NOTHING progressive about censorship or abuse of police resources to silence people who hold different opinions, even if those opinions are wrong or abhorrent.  (Which in this case they were not).  

Unless someone is making a violent threat or otherwise physically violating you or your property, calling the police on them should be illegal & result in the appropriate fines or jail time.  Cops come to the scene armed & potentially ready to use their weapons on people.  Just recently a Black woman in the States was killed by police after calling 911 herself.  This is not a game & further proves how mentally unbalanced & entitled these folx are.  When women make these frivolous kinds of calls, they're labeled "Karens" or worse.  Why the radio silence when a biological man does it? 

If it look-a like a man, walk-a like a man and talk-a like a man, issa MAN!

Diss Track Review: "Long Kiss Goodnight"

Last time we reviewed "Hit 'Em Up" by 2Pac and Outlawz so it's only fitting to cover the response by Pac's enemy, The Notorious B.I.G. and record label owner/right-hand man P. Diddy (Puff Daddy at the time).  This track has a positively ominous beat produced by Wu-Tang Clan leader RZA & contains some subliminal-but-not-really shots at Mr. Shakur.  Anyone with a rudimentary understanding of the 2 artists and their beef could pick up on who this song is aimed at.  At least one would think.

"Long Kiss Goodnight" was featured on Biggie's final double album Life After Death, the aptly titled posthumous release that came out on March 25, 1997... 16 days after his murder in L.A. by a still-unknown assailant.  The song was said to have been recorded AFTER 2Pac's killing, which is a cowardly move if true.  (The first verse refers to a car wreck that happened after Pac's death so it's likely it was recorded after he was killed, but even if it wasn't, it could've been removed from the album or edited to remove what were most certainly references to him).  As if that wasn't bold enough, Biggie made the fatal mistake of "freestyling" verses from this cold track live on air in L.A--2Pac's turf--only a few months after he was murdered while the city was still mourning.  This would be Biggie's last trip to L.A. (or anywhere) as he would be gunned down only 8 days later.  Not sure what he was thinking honestly. 

Was this the final nail in the coffin for Big?

Unlike "Hit 'Em Up," "Long Kiss Goodnight" doesn't call its subject out by name & Biggie went out of his way to deny ever dissing 2Pac while he was alive, yet it's undeniable who this song is about.  Lines like "slugs missed ya/I ain't mad at 'cha" (the title of one of 2Pac's radio hits) & Puffy's screaming "We ain't talkin' 'bout no other rappers, we talkin' 'bout YOU" kinda narrow down the list of candidates.  What other rapper were these 2 this angry at circa 1996/'97 when the song was recorded?  It also contains some eerie references to the gang that ended up killing 2Pac ("my team in the marine blue six Coupe).  I wrote about that here.

Other lines that call out 2Pac specifically:  "These fuckin' maniacs put my name in raps" (re: songs like "Hit 'Em Up" that call Biggie out by name); "Heard through the grapevine you got fucked 4 times" (referring to the prison rape rumors or potentially the fatal Vegas shooting when he was shot 4 times).  Mind you, 2Pac--err, Makaveli--didn't mention Biggie by name once on his final posthumous album  The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory released in early November '96 (when Big was still very much alive to hear it).  He did diss Puffy & just about every other East coast rapper, but it's worth noting that Biggie's name wasn't uttered by him once which just makes "Long Kiss" all the more unnecessary.

Funeral of Orlando Anderson--alleged killer of 2Pac  Note the "marine blue."

Yet there are STILL oblivious people asking "Was "Long Kiss Goodnight" about 2Pac"?  Makes me weep for our literacy & comprehension skills as a nation.  Just because somebody denies a thing that's obviously not flattering to them doesn't make it true.  Listen to Puffy's screed on 2000's "Muscle Game" by Bad Boy artist Black Rob and get back to me.  In it he brags about "droppin' a million dollars" and "erasing you and your whole family" among other horrors.  This is as good as a confession since that's what he allegedly did to have 2Pac killed:  offered $1 million to any Southside Crip who would kill Suge Knight and 2Pac.  They only killed 2Pac so he only paid $500,000 to middle man Zip Martin, who kept the money for himself.  Allegedly.  The fact that he still walks free should make EVERYONE suspicious as to whether he's working for the Feds or another gov't organization.  Law enforcement have been known to use rap lyrics as evidence on much smaller cases so WHY are they letting this slide?  "Long Kiss Goodnight" itself is a treasure trove of self-incrimination.  

But I digress.

All other things aside, "Long Kiss" is a banger of a track due to the ice cold beat & Biggie's silky smooth flows, but once again Diddy soils it with his inane ranting.  Insufferable as he may be, Suge was 100% right when he made the "all on the record" comment at the '95 Source Awards.  Diddy is no rapper & is at his most obnoxious when yammering over actual artists on their tracks.  Still, "Long Kiss" maintains its listenability despite this because of its historical importance & overall eerie tone.  Admittedly, the yelling is not entirely out of place here due to the dark mood--though there could certainly be less of it.  A lot less.

Suge's idea of  a "subliminal" diss at the '95 Source Awards  🤣

While it's both scandalous & pointless to diss a dead man, 2Pac was no shrinking violet.  He did claim to have had sex with Biggie's wife among other devilish acts, so he should've expected some unkind words on wax in return.  But waiting until he's deceased (at the hand of your record exec) to say them defeats the purpose & makes you look weak, proving 2Pac's lyric "Niggas talk a lot of shit, but that's after I'm gone / Cause they fear me in the physical form" true.  Either pipe up while the beef's hot and the man's alive or forever hold your peace.  

But Biggie tried to do both, going on interviews and "freestyling" verses from this diss track and speaking out both sides of his mouth about his deceased rival after refusing to participate in the beef publicly while 'Pac was alive.  (Biggie's producer Jiv Pos claims "You're Nobody 'Til Somebody Kills You" was ALSO about 2Pac, though he bizarrely refers to it as a "tribute" to the slain rapper.  Just... no).  It seems Biggie's camp is also on the 'both sides of their mouth' shit, admitting that things he said WERE about 'Pac but denying they were done in anger.  Biggie's mom claimed to have heard 2Pac say the beef was just about money, which is highly doubtful considering he believed the Bad Boy duo set him up to be shot in '94.  It's true that beef sells but it's also true that 2Pac was paranoid & genuinely thought the duo tried to have him killed.

Biggie spent his last months obsessed with his deceased friend-turned-rival alright, but not in a warm and fuzzy way.  Considering the long history of bad blood between Bad Boy & Death Row Records, it's patently ridiculous to assert that Biggie had ANYTHING but bile & venom for his former friend.  And rightfully so perhaps.  It appears his plan was to "subliminal" his way through the debacle & win over the West Coast to Bad Boy's obnoxious style of bling rap, crowning himself king of not only New York but American Rap as a whole.  And he probably could've done it if he'd just allowed things to simmer down a bit.  Biggie was the most technically talented rapper and storyteller to ever do it in the minds of many.  In my opinion even 2Pac was a bit intimidated by his skills on the mic, as you can see when they freestyle together.  

But like 2Pac, he got too cocky and too caught up in the gangsta image of the time, saying and doing too much to make himself a target of real street cats with nothing to lose.  And he forgot that this all started as a petty feud between Puffy & Suge, both of whom were safe & secure behind their desks in their penthouse suites with their hired goons while the talent was doing their dirty work.  Biggie clearly felt invincible--it never occurred to him he could be killed in the same way as his rival.  If it did, he sure wasn't behaving like it.

Somebody else apparently noticed the 2Pac connection here.  

In the wake of the deaths, Puffy released his most successful album to date, No Way Out, which contained the singles "I'll Be Missing You" (a tribute to Biggie containing a sample of "I'll be Watching You" by Sting) that topped the Billboard Hot 100 Charts for a record-breaking 11 weeks, as well as "Can't Nobody Hold Me Down," another remake of a classic ("The Message" by Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five) featuring Ma$e.  He went on to become Hip Hop's first mogul billionaire in 2017 (Jay-Z was #2 in 2019).  In 1997, Suge Knight went to court to fight 2Pac's mother Afeni for ownership of his unreleased music, a catalog bigger than everything he'd released while alive to that point.  It would've made him VERY rich.  He lost.  And soon he went to jail until 2003 for a probation violation for the MGM fight against Orlando Anderson.  He's currently serving a 28 year sentence in San Diego for running 2 men over with his SUV, killing one.   

Given the direction Hip Hop and music as a whole took post-1996, it's infuriating to imagine how things might've been different had these 2 lived & their pimp bosses died in their stead.  Can you imagine opening Instagram to see Biggie Smalls coolin' on the beach in Bermuda or 2Pac with a smartphone, ready to pop off at these heinous politicians at any time?  Makes Kanye's anti-Jew rant look boring by comparison.  We were robbed.   😞

(Underlined parts refer to 2Pac specifically)

"Muthafuckas mad 'cause I blew, niggas envious

Too many niggas on my dick, shit's strenuous

When my men bust, you just move wit such stamina

Slugs missed ya

I ain't mad at'cha (We ain't mad at'cha)"

"I'm flamin' gats, aimin' at, these fuckin'

Maniacs put my name in raps, what part the

Game is that? Like they hustle backwards"

"Ya bleedin' lovely, wit' yo, spirit above me
Or beneath me, ya whole life ya live sneaky
Now ya rest eternally, sleepy, ya burn when ya creep me
Rest where the worms and the weak be"

Heard through the grapevine, you got fucked 4 times

Damn that three to nine fucked you up for real though

Slung steel slow, as for remorse, we feel no"

The Super Sus Case of Tracey Nix

14

If the name Tracey Nix doesn't ring any bells, you're not alone.  Unlike Casey Anthony, Andrea Yates or Susan Smith, she's far less notorious in the media, yet her crimes are just as heinous.  In December 2021, she was babysitting her 2-year-old grandson Ezra when she allegedly fell asleep in the middle of the afternoon and he toddled out the door and fell into her backyard pond, drowning.  The death was deemed an accident even though there were some suspiciously questionable police notes about medications that may have caused her to zonk out in the middle of the day. 

Tragedies and accidents DO happen, no matter how horrific.  Ezra's mother Kaila was pregnant with his baby sister at the time & had a wreck when she got the call, running on foot from the wreck to the scene.   She allegedly wasn't told the full scope of what happened by police so as to avoid jeopardizing her current pregnancy, which may have affected her decisions going forward.  Tracey's husband Nun Ney was allegedly out running errands or similar and came home to chaos.  

While their relationship was understandably strained for a while, Kaila and mother Tracey eventually rebuilt their trust and she agreed to leave her new daughter with grandma again for a short time while getting her nails done.  Tracey promised she would be with a group of friends so Kaila allegedly trusted that nothing bad would happen in that short window.  Whether this was a smart move is a subjective call, but babysitters and daycare costs are not cheap.  However, that's something that must be considered BEFORE having a baby.  We don't know if money was a factor in her decision to leave her daughter Uriel with her mom or not.  Either way, she couldn't have predicted the double tragedy that would unfold back when she got pregnant with her 2nd child. 

Because on November 22, 2022, Tracey Nix repeated her fatal mistake, this time "forgetting" a whole-ass child in a scorching hot car in the garage for the entire afternoon while she went inside & played piano.  Once again, her husband came home to a nightmare, finding baby Uriel dead in the back seat of the car.  He tried to revive her but had no luck.  

The family, in happier times

Two children under 5 dead at the same woman's hands only a year apart.   Tracey's husband pleaded with her to tell him what happened but she zipped her lips and is now "refusing to talk" to anyone.   And what does the Florida justice system do?  The same thing they did with Casey Anthony:  treat a child-killer with kid gloves, ignoring the kid's mother (who said she wanted her mom to do hard time in prison) and sentencing Tracey to time in a mental hospital instead.  That was in early 2023.  She was given an extension on her stay in June 22, 2023 despite expressing wishes to "flee her situation"  (wtf?).  But there have been no further updates on her state of mind or possible motives since.  I find that unacceptable.  Two precious souls are DEAD at this woman's hands & the public deserves to know why there has been no criminal trial and no explanation why.  


Accidental vs. Premeditated

In my mind there's only one remotely acceptable reason for this unlikely tragedy and that's a neurocognitive disease like dementia.  But even in that case, her 3 fail-safes--her daughter, husband & son-in-law--should've known better than to leave not one but TWO small helpless children alone with her.  And in no universe should anyone be legally allowed to watch a child after one dies in their care, intentional or not. 

The other two possibilities for why this happened are very dark:  substance abuse or intentional double homicide.  Not only did this woman "forget" and leave a child to die in a hot car--something that has happened to other parents before her--she fell asleep in the middle of the day with a toddler who was known to make escapes out that door & have a fascination with water, & she didn't rouse when he broke out & fell into a pond.  And the child was forgotten in the car at her own house, which is usually not how that works.  Generally a parent takes a new route to work or something & forgets the kid, or does so due to busyness while running errands and multitasking.  Tracey's only task at that time was to watch the child AFTER having another die in her care.  


The Clencher?

On the day of baby Uriel's death, Tracey claims to have gotten BACK in the car, put two cups of tea in it & driven it to the backyard around 4:30 p.m.  As one astute Redditor pointed out, she would've most certainly smelled the dead child by that point, as she had been "cooking" all afternoon in 90+ degree temperatures.  This means Tracey Nix is almost certainly lying about only remembering the child AFTER her grandson arrived.   

Florida Too Easy on Child Killers

“Because somebody dies doesn’t necessarily mean that somebody has to pay."  That's a direct quote from Tracey Nix's attorney William Fletcher.  Sorry scum-sucker, but I have to disagree, especially when TWO somebodies under age 5 die within the span of a year at the same woman's hands.   People "pay" for a lot less: writing hot checks, property crime, minor drug possession, sex work, shoplifting.  WTF are prisons for if NOT for killers & other violent criminals?

The state of Florida needs to explain why anyone can crap out a kid or babysit a grandchild, kill it & say "Oops, I forgot the little bugger existed temporarily!" or "OMGz I fell asleep mid-day & didn't hear him peace out & go swimming with the fishesss" or "What she's with Zanny the Nanny of course I didn't kill her oh her that smell that's just a skunk my dad molested me he probably killed her too look a paparazzo."  Why don't children have full protection from murder under the law?  Do they even count as 3/5ths of a human being?  I'd say they don't if it's legal to murder them & blame fatigue or a bad memory.  I don't have kids or even like kids particularly and even I think this is egregious.  

At her hearing.  Wait, why are they hugging?!

And if there were mind-altering drugs on the premises, that changes things.  Does Florida consider substance abuse a get-out-of-jail-free card for violent crime now?  Why haven't we heard a damn thing about her mental state since May 2023? 

The fact that she was a school principal has no bearing on anything--reporters keep regurgitating it like it absolves her of killing 2 kids.  It doesn't.  We've all known people in "helping" professions who straight up didn't belong there;  I personally had a family member who was a beloved elementary school principal for over 30 years--that person's chosen disciplinary method in the home was "pick a switch from the tree".  Whether that applies to Tracey Nix we'll never know unless these cowardly journalists, family members, friends & everyone who claims to have given a damn about those dead babies doesn't step up and demand answers.  And before you cite HIPAA: it doesn't apply to police records, 9/11 calls or family matters.  


Double Standards

The treatment of child killers vs. people (usually women/children) who stand up to their tormentors by using guns for their intended 2nd Amendment purpose of self-defense is backward & unacceptable. Gypsy Rose Blanchard just did 7 years on a 10-year sentence for killing her abuser, a monster who tortured her medically for the duration of her life while using her fake medical issues to defraud charities.  The Menendez brothers are doing life for killing their parents, both of whom sexually molested & raped them as well as physically brutalizing them for decades. The documentary "The Perfect Victim" is full of similar stories of battered women doing 25-life for protecting themselves against certain death at the hands of their abusers.

How a demographic is treated in the courts is a real-world reflection of how much (or little) their lives are valued by society as a whole.  Dark-skinned Black & brown people, the poor, children, women, immigrants, religious minorities & the disabled are at the bottom of the food chain, with those belonging to more than one of these categories serving as nothing more than warm bodies to occupy cells in our bloated prison system.  

On the other hand, if dementia or another progressive, terminal brain disease is present in the Tracey Nix case, this is an incredibly fair & just ruling.  It's just that we lack the information to make that call right now so everyone rushing in to say "it's probably dementia, guys.  My ___ had it too and her symptoms were identical" is giving a potential drug-addled double child murderer a pass.  Ask yourself honestly whether you'd be doing that if said killer was 380 lbs, schizophrenic, ugly, dirt poor & Black with a history of homelessness & petty crime. Somehow I think the fvck NOT.   


The Parents' Role

And what of the kids' two parents who made the decision not once but TWICE to leave their kids with this negligent (at best) person?  Are we going to let the "they've suffered enough" defense stand as if they're the primary victims here?  Let's not forget that two precious babies died horrible deaths and THEY are the real victims.  And they died because 4 consenting adults repeatedly chose to make the same mistakes/choices.

I don't question whether the mom & dad are truly suffering--I know they are.  I just think that negligence deserves the same punishment as malice because the outcome is the damn same.  Having children is a CHOICE, the most important one you'll ever make, yet the kids have no say in whether they exist or who their parents are.  Therefore there must be a consequence when guardians fail to protect them from serious harm.  Heck, it's right there in the name:  guard~ian.  What role does Tracey's husband play in all this?  If he left Ezra in Tracey's care while she was asleep as she claimed in the incident report, that makes him at least as culpable for Ezra's death.

And what about that courtroom hug?

While Kaila appeared to be on good terms with mother Tracey at her extension hearing, she clarified that things weren't what they seemed.  Per Meaww:  "the court saw Kaila hugging her mother Tracey, and crying, which came as a shock to many as the daughter previously demanded her mother to be "criminally charged".

However, Kaila cleared the air that the hug was not in support but rather a goodbye. She said, "I chose to hug her to say goodbye to my mother because things are too far gone, and so while it might've looked as a hug of support, I don't know when and if I will ever touch or look or be near her in such a way again. So I treated her like I treated my son as I removed him off of life support. I hugged her and I told her that I loved her regardless because I knew it was goodbye," states ABC Action News.

That's, like, according to HER.  But who really knows?


The Dementia Defense

I just... it seems to me like if she had been diagnosed, even tentatively, with one of the many types of dementia, that someone would've piped up about it by now to protect what's left of her reputation & help her case.  I can't imagine letting the entire world seethe at my mom, wondering what her motive might've been and projecting various dark plots onto her when she really had a rapidly shrinking brain due to a neurodegenerative disease beyond her control.  Which leads me to believe it's not dementia.  If I'm proven wrong I'll circle back and apologize/edit this, but for now we have absolutely no evidence that Tracey Nix's massive oversights leading to the deaths of her grandchildren were due to dementia, so you're gonna need to stop speculating on that unless & until we do.  She posted frequently online & carried on with social functions up until the death of Uriel in 2022 & I've yet to hear anyone--friend, family or acquaintance--claim that she was behaving strangely or having memory lapses in the preceding months.  

Also, 1 in 10 elderly people develops dementia by the age of 65 (Tracey's current age) & the number goes up to one in THREE by age 85.  Even if she does have it, this would still be a bizarre and unlikely case.  You'd expect to hear more cases in which grandparents or older babysitters "accidentally" kill kids in their care this way if it were merely due to dementia.  Where are those stories?  And why does Tracey look so unfazed in her mugshot?  Dementia or not, you just found out your grandchild is DEAD because of you and THAT'S your expression?!  Where's the shock, remorse, grief, regret, agony, distress, horror or pain?  ANY detectable negative emotion at all?

And where is the outrage that fueled the Gabby Petito case, driving angry mobs to protest and picket on the Laundries' lawn?  (Also in Florida).  I'm not suggesting harassing the family, but the cops, journalists & courts DAMN SURE owe us an explanation as to what happened to those babies.  A loving, stable person doesn't simply experience TWO life-destroying tragedies back-to-back like that for no reason.  If anything, you'd be overly cautious any time you were near the remaining child for fear something would happen to them in your care.  That's IF you had the guts to insist on watching them by yourself again at all.  That's another thing:  DID she insist on babysitting Uriel, or did the parents ask her to do it?  Whose terrible idea was it and how reluctant (or not) were the baby's parents, if at all?  There are a lot of missing details and that's unacceptable when we've got two dead babies & nobody being held accountable.

In my opinion, this can only be explained by serious drug abuse, intentional homicide or dementia.  And if it's dementia it's long past time for the state to tell us so.  What happened here is WORSE than the Casey Anthony case, Jonbenet Ramsey or any other case in which a single child dies in an adult's care because TWO kids are dead. 

I believe there's something we're not being told about Kaila & Tracey's relationship dynamic.  Kaila seems adamant that Tracey deserves prison, which implies she believes her mom did this intentionally... right?  But we've yet to hear her give a potential motive or explanation despite doing a whole episode of Court TV via WTLS.  And then there was that hug.  If you truly believe it was intentional homicide of TWO of your kids, would you honestly hug the killer?  I know it's your mom but those were your CHILDREN. 

And Tracey's husband was conveniently absent from the home both times, coming home just in time to catch the tail end of the tragedies--what insight can he give us as to her mindstate in the preceding months?  What were the redacted meds she was taking while watching Ezra and why did police take it upon themselves to withhold details about Ezra's death from his parents, who had other kids in their care to protect?  You can't make informed decisions without information.

In my opinion, police should've brought all 4 adults in & interrogated them separately after Ezra's death even if they felt/knew they didn't have a criminal case due to Florida's shitty laws.  Gathering info about family dynamics & motives in situations like this is absolutely vital & they were as negligent as Tracey Nix in this instance.  And in no universe should cops be allowed to withhold critical info about a case from a dead child's parents.  As for Floridians, you desperately need to overhaul your child abuse/protection laws because offenders keep getting away with murder on your watch.  Unless you want your state to become home to the nation's domestic abusers & child killers, you might wanna start demanding that these crimes are treated with the seriousness they deserve.

So little info is available in this case and a picture is worth a thousand words, so here are some photos I found on Tracey's social media.  I took care to blur everyone's face who wasn't her or someone closely involved in this case.  Check the dates on each one, some are from as far back as 2009 while others are as recent as 2022:

Even after looking through these photos I can find nothing that would give clues as to her mind state leading up to these crimes.  Maybe some of you brilliant web sleuths out there can spot something.   Please note:  

These photos are in the public domain and easily accessible so I broke no laws & violated no privacy boundaries by capturing them.  Do NOT contact the family or anyone involved in this case as they're entitled to their privacy.  Treat others as you'd want to be treated in this horrific situation.  💔
