Not on other social media. Celebrates courage, people offering hope. Calls out BS.
pinned post!
Directing a huge war by posting on social media is absolutely nuts. Insane. Off the other end of scale crazy. Nothing like this has ever happened before, it's terrifying and I'm saying this because young people don't know that.

Dumb white ladies my colour and my age thought they couldn't protest against Israel. They were wrong then, they still are now. And they still wouldn't recognise foreign actors if they introduced themselves personally.

Seen on Quora today is the best summary of Mr. Trump I've thus seen: "He doesn’t know what he is doing. He has got himself into a mess and has no clue how to get out. This is the story of his life. He is a hopeless, bullshitting fuck-up." And you who elected him, reflect on that.

Telling MPs of a party you purportedly support to 'fuck off' is an unfollow. Engage, debate, disagree, discuss, all fine. Telling them to eff off is absolutely not fine. Not at all.

In dry weather, a telescopic fishing rod and double sided carpet tape works well to deflag. You can usually get 2 flags from one piece of tape. If it's wet and you can't wait, barbed wire or some screws in a piece of 2x4 will do the job. Best wait until the flag wankers have gone and then tidy up.
