i refuse to be hung up over high school bullshit for the sake of my sanity but it’s cathartic that this woman i knew back then who posted an embarrassing photo of me on her very public twitter had to drop out of college when she wanted to become a doctor and it’s bc she probably has a criminal record now

genuinely happy pride but this stretch of june is god awful for me and i often cannot find much joy because my dad’s birthday is in four days and then Father’s Day is like two weeks after that and my mental fragility is at an all-time high

i’m doing baby waltzes now 😭😭

I have the utmost respect for Dan Stidham as a defense attorney tbh

it makes many people mad when this is said but people really want child murders to be more heinous than what the evidence suggests which is why you have people to this day think that it’s impossible that JonBenet Ramsey or the victims in the WM3 case were killed by a family member or someone known to them because of the supposed brutality or what is rather the public desire for the killings to be more brutal than what they actually were. what happened to JonBenet was a serious blow to the head with application of a cord to strangle her while she was already unconscious. Stevie branch Michael Moore and Chris Byers were drowned and two of them likely after they were incapacitated. The injuries and wounds found on them were likely due to animal predation and it is well known that there was wildlife in the area that would feed on flesh that was left in that water but if we admit that then we can’t continue to use the satanic ritual theory anymore. And what really kills me about the latter is that you can still argue the WM3 killed the boys but the other injuries were done via animal predation. I’d ultimately disagree but the two things aren’t mutually exclusive. However I’ve never seen someone who believes in their guilt argue that. lol

i have a sneaking suspicion that some of the accounts i've seen on wm3 discussion threads/youtube videos are probably terry hobbs or friends of his because not only are they disparaging towards wm3 (especially damien who is the easy target considering jason and jessie's personal histories are clean, especially jason) but they completely disregard hobbs' history of violence towards women and children which has been well-documented and attested to. no one associated with this case can afford bot campaigns or anything but as i've said before usually when i have suspicions surrounding certain narratives being heavily pushed online i end up being vindicated lol

tl;dr: all "algorithmically" pushed stuff on a newsfeed is mostly ads. nothing that's really surprising form this vulture article, but it is dismal and makes me grateful for one website where you only see things from people you follow WITHOUT horrible short-form video content

also on the wm3 again and i say this as a supporter, i really hate how much david jacoby's name has been dragged through the mud. after listening to interviews with him i do not think he was involved. i think he wants to believe hobbs didn't do it but hobbs knowingly threw him under the bus, used him as an alibi witness, and knew that getting jacoby involved in his timeline of that night would cast suspicion on him. a way to "not go down alone". jacoby directly conflicts hobbs' timeline on multiple occasions and terry even told him that "they want to send us both to jail" when talking to jacoby in later years which reads to me as a subtle threat. the hair that was found on a tree root (and to be clear i don't know if it's ever been confirmed where this tree root was in proximity to where the boys were found) where jacoby could not be excluded via mitochondrial DNA can easily be explained by jacoby being involved in search efforts on the night the boys were missing before their bodies were discovered, it is not as significant as say a hair that was tied in the ligature of one of the boys where hobbs could not be excluded via mitochondrial dna analysis (those who believe the wm3 are guilty really hate when people talk about this but i guarantee if that hair couldn't exclude damien, jason, and/or jessie via mitochondrial dna they'd be all over it, and to be fair that would be damning evidence), jacoby has no history of violence towards women and children in the way hobbs does, and while his timeline may have inconsistencies he's maintained over the years that there were several points at that night integral to the timeline from when the boys were last seen that jacoby couldn't confirm hobbs' whereabouts. like i think he's a man who got wrapped up in a tragic situation through no fault of his own and i think blaming him should be put to rest. it's very likely that this was the act of one person who was closely associated to at least one of the boys and it was unplanned.

casey anthony is a very easy person to hate (and with good reason) but as with all child murder cases people really let their emotions get the best of them and it's insane how much cognitive dissonance people have. many people believe the ramseys are involved with jonbenet's death but the ramsey PR has worked well enough to the point where they are hesitant to blame patsy now even though she was the one who had the most direct interaction with both children and was the person who wrote the ransom note, and to me that only makes sense if she was the one to kill her daughter and had to buy time in some way, shape or form. that's how most parents operate if they harm their children or murder them. the ramseys were very wealthy and influential people and had the resources to state their side and their defense to the media essentially from day one and casey anthony didn't have that.

[8241991]

the true crime opinions i hold simultaneously that would probably make many people on true crime subreddits very mad:

wm3 are innocent and terry hobbs likely acted alone

patsy did it

i lean on the side of the casey anthony case being decided correctly*

sherrill was the main target of the springfield three and janelle kirby wasn't involved

adnan syed is guilty but jay was probably more involved with what happened to hae and it's fucked that we'll probably never know for sure

andrea yates shouldn't be in prison or a facility for the rest of her life and it should be rusty yates who takes her place

aileen wuornos needed lifelong care and the death penalty in that case was totally unjustified (though i'm against the death penalty in general)

nichol kessinger wasn't involved with the murders of shanann, cece, and bella but she's still a sleaze who knowingly slept with a married man and got off to it

g. rose blanchard never should have been in prison at all

jodi arias was pushed to her wits end by #thatman who was a nasty smarmy mormon and idc about what happened to him

amanda knox is innocent (whether or not she's done herself any favors with her public persona is up for debate) and she's not racist or bigoted for implicating someone else after hours and hours of questioning

lucy letby is totally 100% without a doubt innocent and all of those babies died due to inadequate care at the hospital

waco siege and ruby ridge were justified (not sure if that counts but eh)

*i think it's highly likely that casey was fucking around and not paying attention to her daughter which led to a situation where caylee was gravely injured or died on accident and she tried to hide it rather than come clean because that was just a pattern of behavior with her at that point. a charge of child neglect resulting in death would have been much more apt and she'd probably be sitting in prison right now if that's what the prosecution went with.

this is what my hair does when i dont use product and honestly i kinda like it

I think it sucks that you have to go to so many different kinds of doctor to take care of yourself. It's the 21st century. I should be able to go to a single office where they scan me with a big xerox machine and tell me what I'm allergic to and why my tummy hurts and if I have any cancer or cavities or if my glasses prescription has changed. And then I should get a sticker.

i think many people's desire to be contrarian for its own sake (coming from someone who is a contrarian but i actually believe in what i'm saying and not just saying it to be edgy or different) causes this but it pisses me off so much that there are entire discussion boards dedicated to shitting on g. rose blanchard because 1. i don't care if she "manipulated" that man into killing her mother because she had no power in either situation 2. she was subjected to consistent medical abuse and 3. it is insane to me that her detractors will argue that she benefited from said years of medical abuse because. lmfao what? she was getting all of those make a wish disney trips because her mother thrived off of attention and sympathy from having a "sick" daughter you are terminally braindead if you think those trips were about her and not because her mother was obsessed with money and attention
