There seem to be never-ending reports here lately of Flock cameras being misused by law enforcement to stalk women, whether they’re exes, current spouses, or simply women they’ve decided to keep tabs on.

In one case, an officer used one to determine exactly when his ex-girlfriend would be home, only to then immediately go there and kill her before killing himself.

There have also been cases of law enforcement using them to track and arrest women trying to leave the state for an abortion.

And just today, I read about a Flock camera linking a woman’s vehicle to multiple crimes she didn’t commit. She was arrested and spent 13 days in jail before bonding out. She then spent months and thousands of dollars fighting the eight (8!!!) felony charges. She was facing life in prison had she been convicted.

I don’t know about everybody else, but it seems to me the world just got a little more inherently unsafe for women.

Simply put: we're flocked.

I just watched this news clip from Philly about a man in a mask that has been chasing women around while asking if they're ready to die.

I don't get it. You never hear about women doing shit like this to men, or even to other women. Why are men like this?

I've always had a thing for pretty boys.

Hell, I remember one day in my senior year of high school back in 2012, when during an enrichment class there just happened to be only girls there that day, including the teacher. At one point we got on the topic of male celebrities we were attracted to, and wow did I learn just how different my tastes are.

Every single one of them said they were super into Vin Diesel, Steven Seagal, and other guys like them.

Yeah... That's gonna be a no from me, dawg.

I like 'em pretty. Orlando Bloom. Heath Ledger. Kit Harrington. Which, speaking of him, back when GoT was a thing? I was obsessed with Jon Snow. I had never craved a man as much as I craved him. I used to say I wanted to have his baby, and I never even wanted kids.

Well, as fate would have it, I actually ended up meeting Jon Snow's real life doppelganger, even down to the gorgeous locks of dark hair. We ended up dating, but it didn't work out.

I also have a son now. 😇

But all that aside, my current celebrity crush is, without a doubt, Jacob McCarthy. He is just so fucking beautiful. Every time he's on the screen, he's the only thing I look at.

Welp, that's all I really had to say. I guess I'm gonna go watch another episode of Johnny Coop—er, I mean SAS now.
