Why does this keep happening? #knownchat

Am I going crazy or is my source code just being written by evil Gremlins against declarative HTML?

I hit source code I add:

<p>I just added <a class="u-follow-of" href="https:/fiveflames4learning.com/">Five Flames 4 Learning</a> by <a class="h-card" href="/https:/www.hjdewaard.com/">Helen Dewaard</a> to my following page at <a href="https://jgregorymcverry.com/following">https://jgregorymcverry.com/following </a>#BeYourownSocialNetwork #mb</p>

But then somehow my url gets injected in front of the one I manually add in source code??What I am I doing wrong? I have checked my mark up and can not stop the injection of my url.

I get this link when I publish:
