brittanee drexel was 17 years old when she went missing after leaving a hotel in myrtle beach on april 25th, 2009.

the story of brittanee drexel is one of those true crime cases that literally rips my heart out. those "friends" that invited her to myrtle beach, did not give a single f about what happened to her. allegedly 2 years ago, jen actually blamed her for her own death claiming that if she didn't take her shorts it would have never happened. jen and alana were completely unapologetic and didn't say a word to brittanee's family about her death still to this day. also if you are the type of person that invites someone to something, just to make them the butt of the joke the whole time and purposely make them feel left out, just go f yourself because you are so shitty, get a life.

i hope that the fbi are closing in on the sex trafficking group they believe took her and disposed of her body when they realized that she was missed and too high profile to hide. i feel so bad for her poor parents, friends, boyfriend, and everyone that loved her for hearing what is believed to have happened to her without having official closure on her case. also the fact that her stepdad, unknowingly met taylor (the main suspect in her case) while handing out flyers asking people if they have seen her and this actual piece of human garbage laughed, crumbled the flyer up and drove off. also the fact that he didn't even know that, that was taylor until the fbi told him is just even more gut wrenching; to know that you were face to face with the person who is strongly believed to have been involved in the horrific murder of your daughter. i can't even fathom. i seriously hope they aren't releasing much news on it because they are getting close to something big. brittanee drexel's story reminds us how important it is as women to help protect one another.

it really doesn't sit well with me knowing that the rate of homicide by acquaintances is 7 times greater for indigenous women and girls than non-indigenous women in Canada, and that's not counting the amount of women who don't report surviving nearly being murdered because they know the police won't do anything about it.

the fact that william pickton was able to murder 49 women despite the police getting reports from numerous people about his involvement in the large number of missing sex workers in or around port coquitlam is so unsettling. not to mention them telling family members of the missing girls that because of their lifestyle they probably don't want to be found was just foul.

the apology the police chief gave after they convicted willy of the crimes was so frustrating because yeah you should be sorry you didn't do everything you could to stop this, you had witnesses and statements from people who claim to have known him to be shady and creepy and say incriminating things about picking up sex workers and luring them with drugs and people on the farm never seeing them again. finding women's bloodstained clothing and purses with id's and personal items that someone wouldn't just simply leave behind in his possession.

also i can't even imagine what was actually going on, on that farm when willy said that multiple people would go down for the crimes against the women if he was going down too. that just tells me that there were way more people involved in the fucked up shit that was going on.

it's also really sad that a large number of the women that he murdered were on their way to recovery, trying to get their children back, were just on the right track of trying to get out of this lifestyle of drug abuse and dangerous line of work and he took advantage of their vulnerability and the fact that he knew the police weren't going to do a damn thing about some missing sex workers.

i did really love knowing that the women were working together and keeping each other safe, making bad-date-lists of people to not go on dates with that are sketchy or violent, telling the girls willy sent to pick up other girls to bring back to the farm to fuck off and leave them alone.

let’s normalize calling people out when they use mental illnesses to seem quirky and “crazy”. i can’t count the amount of times i heard people say “omg i’m so bipolar like i’m actually crazy” when they can’t decide what they want no matter the circumstance. i don’t even know if people understand how offensive this sounds. like you literally just linked bipolar disorder with being crazy when in reality you just said that you wanted food from like 3 different places in the span of 3 minutes. that’s not bipolar disorder thats just being indecisive and offensive.

i honestly don't care what anyone says to me. something foul happened to tamla horsford that wasn't an accident and someone is covering it up. how in the world did they do an autopsy and not take pictures? that goes against protocol and just screams to me that something else happened to that poor amazing woman that is being kept close to the chest. they reopened her case and i actually hope they truly do some investigating on it because the people that stayed at that sleepover know what happened to her. also reading the transcripts of their interviews with police are just the most cringe-worthy, infuriating things to read through. no one wanted to answer a question honestly and couldn't manage to stay on topic of the actual question asked if their life depended on it. i obviously have no idea who did what to tamla, but someone at that party definitely did and everyone knows exactly who it is. her family deserves answers and justice to be served to whom ever took that beautiful woman's life.

it really ignites a different kind of anger inside me every time i think about how homophobia basically helped jeffery dahmer get away with the shit he was doing because as soon as the police heard that it was two gay men they just didn't want any part of it. you shouldn't be able to become a police officer if you are racist or anti-lgbtq+ or show any hate towards a specific group of people that causes you to look at them as any less human than yourself.
