Cancelled my trip. Was supposed to go to Brooklyn for a writing thing, but don’t want to get detoured to el salvador. just saying.

Today would be a good day to walk down to your local library and get a library card.

HEY EVERYONE REMEMBER WHEN TRUMP WAS IMPEACHED FOR DENYING AID TO UKRAINE BECAUSE HE WANTED ZELENSKY TO LIE AND SAY BAD THINGS ABOUT BIDEN AND ZELENKSY WOULDN’T DO IT? Maybe literally one fucking American newspapers could mention this in their, “think pieces,” about what happened yesterday.

The Nazis think this was a Nazi salute, but, hey, what would they know?

Whoever claims that this Nazi salute was accidental is....mistaken. His body language: Biting his lip. Slapping his chest. "I'm doing it! I know some of you hate it! But I love it. So there!"
