I've wanted to write an article documenting the week prior since I clocked off work for the evening, yet it's now nearly 9 hours later and the sentences aren't forming the way I want them to. I'm sleepless because I have to remove balls bouncing on my brain hemisphere's tennis court; ideas and half-formed phrases ricochet off cranial chamber noisily, making sleep but a dream.
Nevertheless, I'll push on to see what comes of this vespertine effort and do beseech any readers to plod alongside me. There's a lot to talk about and to start with, how about I listen attentively to your week just gone?
Shambolic Rambling Together
Oh yeah. I know, hey? That downpour at the start of the week dampened spirits all around I reckon. No one seemed or sounded too happy during it.
Yeah... shitloads of coughing and spluttering. Even though I set a goal to abstain from (or at least limit) daily local and global news during the working week, I found myself scrolling through local online presstitute rags anyway. If it's not stupid local talkback breakfast radio stations spluttering into their mics, it's stupid online presstitutes pushing fear and falsehoods daily.
At some point it rained so heavily that large lakes formed over the grasslands and it went dark outside. I'd look out through the balcony doors at it then back at my device, or turn my idle ears back to the spluttering doomsaying boomers of talkback radio. Couldn't leave my apartment and get a coffee without risking a proper soaking. I felt stuck - I had stalled.
Yeah, heaps of people around here were barking & coughing like a dying Victa lawnmower - some still are. Maybe that's been an unconscious weight on my mind too. You too? Not surprised..
All that shit in the painstream media about a "triple-threat" at the start of this winter. I had a quick look a moment ago and it's shocking how much respiratory virus hysteria was pumped out. I'm glad that making an effort to avoid presstitute fear-mongering during the working week shields me from it's demeaning & mind-numbing repetitiveness.

Staying busy at work keeps me away from the bombardment of vaccination and disease-centric messages. It's unfortunate that to stridently focus on work instead of public health's onslaught against healthy communication, I have to overwork - to a point of frazzledness where I'm rather frazzled by the end of another record breaking marathon at work.
It's not too bad though. Infact, it's worth it. I can blankly muddle my way through a once familiar locality which was a rather friendly environment. I muddle and frazzle my way through what's now a diminishing societal culture that's mutated around me into an open-air childcare for sickly, whiny giant toddlers.
This is unfortunate... The violent culprit probably overdosed on Western Australia's Public Health Risk Communication and took his rage out on an elderly man.

Purposefully co-ordinated public health communications intended for a targeted audience of Western Australia's "Very Compliant Population" (Thanks Mark McClown!) becomes bleedingly obvious when you stack up a chronology of presstitute headlines..
I'd go as far as to suggest that the death of the healthy three year old toddler from Singapore on May 26th, 2023 was made news on June 7, 2023 intentionally. Such opportunistic & selective public health messaging forms a crucial part of our State's public health wide strategic communication: they use intentionality and opportunity for communicating much more effectively to their targeted audience (e.g the entire population of Western Australia).

Conclusion
Went you consciously extricate yourself from incessant toxic communications broadcast by State government & mainstream media presstitutes working in tandem, any second look back will reveal patterns to their public pandering.
Look a bit closer and these patterns reveal manipulative tactics being utilized to further maximize reach and impact of their intended public health risk communication outcome/s.
It's blatant fear-mongering and having to ignore it on a daily basis..., heck no! Just turn that shit off!
Others try to block out fear-mongering but trying to block out bullshit multiple times a day during your daily travels, wherever you might go, is fucking maddening. You either stall and shift into neutral to keep on going or you start cracking underneath.
As WA's toxic public health risk communications are messaged from multiple sources (including West Australians' themselves) multiple times a day, it starts to feel very very bad. Do yourself a favour and walk along with me in ignorance.
We can bite our tongues when passing "GET JABBED: COVID, FLU, RSV... NOW" over and over again...
Let's make a game of seeing which one of us doesn't end up biting their own tongue off!
ahhh blissful ignorance.
I turned off the TV years ago, and pay little attention to radio and newspapers. Said no to Social Media, no accounts except a GAB account I use to see the latest daily memes.
Online news I do not touch, unless a substack or GAB source provides a link to a story. Same for their Twitter links, only see them if I deem it newsworthy.
And the feeling of not being consumed by "hate this, be against that, support the latest thing" is refreshing and leaves me a relatively stress free life.
I do wonder at the emptiness of modern society though, when the above is taken from a life, I do feel a bit empty and left out, but I consider the trade off to be worth it.
And yeah, that rain was something. We had a dry autumn, so the rain was needed.
