I’m a genX dude, living in a genZ world. I love everyone. Be gay, be trans, be whatever. I love everyone until an individual proves they don’t deserve it. I don’t hate anyone based on groups, I hate people who are assholes.

  • One of my friends from High School posted that meme about how school didn’t prepare him properly for life, because he doesn’t know how to do taxes, but at least he knows that the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell.

    I had to comment: “I sat next to you in civics class, where we literally filled out fake tax forms to prepare us for doing taxes.”.

    It’s ridiculous.








  • I went to a “hot zone” in Africa in the middle of an epidemic because I truly wanted to help in any way that I could. I was making food for doctors, nurses, and patients. I had shots fired at me. The locals tried to kill me. They thought I was harvesting Black bodies to steal their melanin. I legitimately feared for my life, but I didn’t leave until the organization I was working for pulled us out. I would have stayed, but without funding there was nothing I could do.

    None of it makes sense. If you read into the conspiracy theory, they think we’re using their melanin to make our dicks bigger. No, I’m not kidding. I never stole any melanin from a corpse (or at all). I was just there to make food for other humans. That’s my passion, I like to feed people.



  • They’re mad that the facilities are not releasing the (highly contagious) bodies to the dead person’s family for “proper” burial. The facilities are instead following proper protocol, and burying the bodies safely. Some of them honestly believe that Ebola isn’t real, and is instead a scam by white westerners to steal Black bodies for nefarious purposes.

    It’s literally just ignorance and paranoia. They’re attacking the very people who are helping them, because of a conspiracy theory and a lack of education.

    I was in Sierra Leone during their outbreak in 2015 (I’m not a healthcare worker, but I was there to feed the healthcare workers), and we faced similar challenges. We had to cancel our mission because we were attacked so many times, and it wasn’t safe to be there.









  • I’m personally a huge fan of Werner, I order from them every month. I’ve got some of their jerky chew in my lip right now. They also sell some very interesting candies, like Chamoy gummy bears/worms/rings and some amazing salt water taffy. The Cucharitas (Mexican tamarind based candy) are absolutely delicious. They’re a small-ish family owned business, operating in Oregon since 1994. Takes about a week for shipping, but that’s not too bad.

    If you’re looking for something really dry, People’s Choice Beef Jerky is the driest jerky I’ve ever had. Just make sure to order the “Old Fashioned” and not the “Classic” if you want the super dry stuff. Their Carne Seca is pretty good too, I like the limon con chile flavor. They also try out new flavors/products all the time, if you like variety. Right now, their Test Kitchen is selling a Nashville Hot flavor, and that stuff is damn good. They had a really nice Gochujang flavor, but it’s been sold out for weeks.


  • I eat at least 2 blood oranges a day, sometimes 5 or even 6. They taste so damn good, and they’re relatively cheap ($1.49/lb). I literally always have at least 4 pounds on hand, but I just restocked, so I’ve got 12 pounds at the moment. Sometimes, in the summer, I buy extra so I can juice them. Then I mix the juice with pomegranate juice, and pour the mix over ice in a kala namak rimmed glass. Vodka optional.
