Not a fan of strident ideologues, left or right.

I like photography, culture, and movies [ https://letterboxd.com/TacoTiger/ ]

If you post screenshots from Twitter or Truth Social – pro or con – you're dead to me.

Seek joy, avoid pain.

Exercise. Go easy on the carbs.

Write poetry. If unable, kiss a baby.

Rotate your tires. And don't forget to floss.

Broccoli is a deep mystery. The mere smell of it makes me nauseous but many people seem to think it's edible,

Not relevant to the (wonderful) quoted post. Important to have said it, though.

I've put "Trump" on my muted words so I'm blissfully unaware of what I imagine is a predictable storm of outrage at his latest fart in the wind on Truth Social. I've seen the headlines.
