The plague? RFK has been on the job half a year and the plague is already back?

I think armadillos and prairie dogs harbor the disease. Don’t mess with them!

You’d think the shell would be enough but nope, armadillos had to go for biological warfare too. Jerks!

This is nothing new in the west - plague has always been rampant in prairie dogs, yet people complain about efforts to control their populations.

Don’t fuck with prairie dogs, bats, armadillos, etc.

These things happen every few years, there’s no vaccine, this has nothing to do with RFK.

I’ll put an /s there next time. I kinda assumed people would figure I didn’t actually think RFK was out there releasing plague but ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Honestly at this point I’d fully believe that the plague is controlling the worm which is controlling RFK’s brain.

I would kill myself because I’m so sick of suffering this poorly written reality but then my mum would be upset and I’d rather her pass on from this world thinking I’ll be ok. Then I’ll kill myself.
