Born & raised in the U.S. Moved to Ireland in 2024 (permanently if I'm lucky). The world is better when we let people be who they are & don't crap on their joy. If you're planning to follow me to DM me, don't bother.

My daughter just asked me what I would do if I had a penis for a day and I responded that I'd probably get a raise.

My diabetic uncle can't stop building models of NYC's famous art museum. He's addicted to Met formin'.

It won't even be real gold crap. It'll be fake, painted, covered in the thinnest foil of gold. It's Trump. It's all a sham, always.

Do you know what's easy? Fear. Suspicion. Hatred.

What's hard? Trust. Hope. Vulnerablity. Courage.

The powers that be want us to feel the world is a scary place & we are powerless to change it

But we can.

Lean into community & the harder things

That's where our growth is & it's how we will win.

My cupboard is where I put my autographed pictures of movie stars. Well, except for Tom Hanks and Geena Davis. Can't put them in with the others; they're in a league of their own.

I read that as "morning wood game makers," which is a whole other thing (for which you very well may also be thankful).

"Doesn't have a Nazi tattoo" seems like a pretty low bar for a candidate, honestly.

We need it. Congress has a very long history of poor performance in the 40 (acres and a mule & other forms of righting our wrongs).

I'm sure I'm not the first person to point this out but I can't help but noticing, for all I hear about gay agendas & trans ideologies & all the other world domination plans, the only people I see loudly & regularly trying to make everyone live according to their ideal lifestyle are cishet men.

"Yeah, OK, I am neither a girl nor from Ipanema. What is your point?"

I of course don't know your intended joking/serious ratio, but my experience with multiple online groups for Americans who have moved abroad makes me think it's likely you overestimated the extent to which you're joking.

Trump concreted the Rose Garden and is literally tearing down the White House, but tell me again how Democrats hate the United States.

I'll wait.

I've frequently been told that, having been educated in the U.S., I did not learn real history. I guess that's true, because my teachers invariably told me that the Nazis were the bad guys.

It is hard to put into words how angry and sad this makes me feel. This asshole is destroying our nation and NONE of the cowards who are supposed to care about this are doing anything to stop him.

NEW: After The Washington Post reported Monday on the demolition of the "East Wing facade," a new picture obtained by Law Dork that was taken on Tuesday shows that a substantial portion of the entirety of the East Wing has been demolished.

Going to try out wearing a monocle so I can start referring to people by their last names and calling everyone "old chap."

Keep in mind that the haughty "Well, I never!" is the vital, but oft-ignored, counterpoint to the jovial "old chap."

And if you're in a hurry, skip the first part.
