So from the distant blue Pacific, through the barren wastes of Manchuria, to 127 Inkerman Terrace...
Refugee from the cesspit. Pies, chips and gravy with added art, lots of it modern. A love of travelling preferably on rails. Warning, possibly football.

I’m so angry and upset. These women do not speak for me.
In dark moments I’m relieved that Alice isn’t here to witness it, for how could I protect her? All a mother wants is to keep their child safe.
Then I feel broken that I even thought that.
Cis women please sign to help

We hope they find those responsible for the Louvre robbery.
In the meantime we have got our own suspicions on who might be the culprit…

Not sure how old Arthur is in this post but I'm guessing 72ish. Or 8 years older than I am now. Christ on a bike.

ATTN: If you’re one of the 1,000 FBI agents who reviewed the Epstein files, feel free to reach out to me via signal (in my bio). I’ll keep you anonymous- as I have the thousands of current and former federal workers who have sent me tips. Please share this widely. 🙏🏻

Recently, my book THEY CALLED US ENEMY was banned – again – in Tennessee. Book bans are out of control. Huge parts of American history are being restricted. To join me in standing up for the freedom to read, go to pen.org/action. @penamerica.bsky.social @topshelfcomix.bsky.social @idwpublishing.com
