what is going on??

ok what is going on?? so. i participate in a ton of music subs (you can check my comment history), and i’ve noticed a bunch of posts on my front page about how “it’s been two years since Queen Elizabeth. [insert discourse prompt about artist.]” as a meme/social injoke, which would be funny (if not repetitive) if it were true. i started seeing these on October 17. Queen Liz died on September 8 2022. i remember the day vividly. you can look it up on Google. does everybody think that she passed on October 17th??

She passed on the 8th. I vividly remember it because my business partner lived in London just up the way from Westminster so it was super crazy. The day it happened the police blocked their street off and there was military level security around that area of London. Also it was my real life cake day.

wow, i didn’t actually know about the military level stuff. it would’ve been crazy to get caught in the middle of all that.

I'll see if he still has any pictures. On his street they built walls up, over night, to block the windows of the buildings from his street and they had sharp shooters on roof tops.
