I like to write about spooky stuff, including *EEK* politics, as well as various lifestyle and pop culture topics.

Note: This post contains mentions of many upsetting topics, including abuse, sexual assault, suicide, and hateful ideologies. 

Additional context: Gary Ridgway, known as the Green River Killer, is recognized as the deadliest convicted serial killer in the US. He pleaded guilty to 48 murders, but later admitted that he killed as many as 80 women. He really had all the audacity in the world to cry in this photo. 🤚
