Another q re: #LeavingTheUS Anyone done: Dublin - Belfast - Liverpool w cats? In order to take cats in the cabin of the plane may need to do trains, planes, automobiles, and a ferry. I’m not looking forward to it. I have to take at least 2/4 of my cats in cabin bc 2 have asthma and 1 diabetes. FUN.

yearly reminder to people insisting that we view Christopher Columbus as "a man of his time" that *the people responsible for the Spanish Inquisition* thought Columbus was out of pocket

Thomas Lecaque @tlecaque.bsky.social · 18d

Christopher Columbus was dragged back to Spain in chains by a crusading knight, convicted of tyranny and immeasurable cruelty, pardoned by Isabella but banned from returning to Hispaniola.

Fuck Columbus.

I have approximately zero following on this app, sharing in the hopes it can get in front of the right person. A man I went to college with’s wife was kidnapped by ICE at a green card hearing, and he’s trying to find a reporter who will speak to him about the situation

Nada pues, a seguirle. A dejar ir. El año viene intenso, y citando a Cerati, “poder decir adiós es crecer”, empezando por decirle adiós a los 30s, entre otros. siguiendo el consejo de costar de jugar y hacer el ridículo ayer me hice unos autorretratos con este vestidazo de Guillermo Jester.

Not the current political climate making me cheer on a billionaire, but here we are. As I said, #Chicago is home, and its main issue is it’s located in the US.
