A newsletter about unity, then spelling it gaol. What a ride.

LOL!!!

That is so, so, so fair. I’m not going to apologise for my old-timey spelling. But I do see where you’re coming from.

I’m all about the “viscous premeditated murder”, myself.

Uh oh! I think someone's volunteering to be a subeditor...!

Good catch and now edited. I, in fact, did not intend to say that the murders had a high viscosity.

Although perhaps they did? I wasn't there.

Truly! I felt awful trivialising it when people have died but she did seemingly such a bad job of it, that it was hard not to talk about it! The white jeans, the dehydrator, the mushroom groups. Like Erin, girl, if you’re gonna represent women on the world stage of murdering, DO BETTER.

It seems that in my social circles, no one else had the same enthusiasm for talking about the Mushroom Murders! 🤔

I’m not one for conspiracies but surely everyone can see how she was set up, just like Lee Harvey Oswald - a social engineering operation. Do the research people. It wasn’t a promotion of the mushroom industry that’s for sure.

Thank you Stephanie. I don’t know why your pieces bring out the mischief maker in me.

I’m convinced this is just a giant subliminal ad for Robot Wars under the guise of the great loss of human connection. Almost as if a beautifully written and compelling article was somehow *laced* with Robot Wars. At least there are no casualties here…or are there?
