Uhhh - the “substance” was that single women without children shouldn’t be entitled to full participation in society. Trust me, we’re not focusing on the cats.

Well that’s a nice fuck you for my birthday. I literally use this to add content TO twitter (mainly cross posting photos and blog posts).

A reminder that you can find me and all the other places where I’ve set up accounts on my own website…very-simple.com.

laughing at all of these thought pieces expressing concern that the 80-year old Biden simply cannot match the “youthful charisma” of the 44-year old desantis because they definitely do not understand that youth and charisma are not the same thing.

Just a reminder that even if you're absolutely sure "it's not COVID", nobody wants to be trapped in a flying bus with your expectorating flu, cold, RSV, etc.
