Confessions of a Former QAnon Conspiracy Theorist
How did you get in to Q in the first place?
I had been DEEP into conspiracy for about 8 years. Had very recently been down the ufo paranormal rabbit hole so when Q really took off midterm for trump I “did my research” and fell right into it.
Do you mind describing what you thought research was and how you’d go about doing it?
Oh research is just going down rabbit hole links and back alley corners of the net. Let’s not kid ourselves and think it’s anything fancy. Unfortunately an ignorance of the world and overconfidence in one’s own critical thinking leads to believing in stupid shit

Picture of the Day

Scold’s Bridle from Armagh Jail – Ireland. early 1900s – a woman sitting with the bridle over her face, to stop her from speaking.
A scold’s bridle, sometimes called a witch’s bridle, a brank’s bridle, or simply branks, was an instrument of punishment, as a form of torture and public humiliation. The device was an iron muzzle in an iron framework that enclosed the head (although some bridles were masks that depicted suffering). A bridle-bit (or curb-plate), about 2 in × 1 in (5.1 cm × 2.5 cm) in size, was slid into the mouth and pressed down on top of the tongue as a compress. This prevented speaking and resulted in many unpleasant side effects for the wearer, including excessive salivation and fatigue in the mouth.
First recorded in Scotland in 1567, the branks were also used in England and its colonies. The kirk-sessions and barony courts in Scotland inflicted the contraption mostly on female transgressors and women considered to be rude, nags or common scolds.

What’s It Like To Having Loving Parents
I’m not going to lie to you, it’s incredible. I was born to two loving parents who waited until they were well-off financially to have children.
The only struggle I’ve ever had in my life is with depression (genetic/hereditary, nothing I can really do about it).
I’m in college now, my parents pay for my expensive university with all their heart, they go out of their way to do little things to make me happy.
How New Music of the Day
The homie sent over the new music video from Casii Stephan. The song is all about positivity and turning to the light when shit gets hard and dark. We can definitely relate to this with all the chaos going on. The song sounds like 90s rock mixed with soul with Americana-tinged guitars.
