My city just announced they’re leaving Twitter and so did Le Monde, the largest French 🇫🇷 publication, and more….
All the clowns there may be kissing the ring of President #Elon but most the world hates this d-bag.

This is what #lemon8 does here in France. VPN’s don’t help. I hate how they can just ban whatever whenever. Ridiculous.

French Christmas Eve at my in-laws always includes salmon or oysters or other seafood, foie gras and ice cream cake. I will never understand this tradition. They live in the mountains too 🤷🏻‍♀️🇫🇷

I don’t even know how to work our oven (and I love that for me😁🔥💕🕺🏻).

So my husband taught himself how to cook when we started dating😅. And even some thanksgiving-ish food bc I’m always lonely on this day. Unlike Xmas, etc, it’s just…Thursday here in 🇫🇷

Anywho, nailed brussel sprouts first try 🤤

I don’t even know what to post on this app bc I was mostly silent on that other one.
Loving the do-over energy here 🤗
Perhaps I’ll post my dog a lot. Bc this very good boy can throw shade like no other.

Every time I get a hair cut, they do this. Blow it straight.

I’d rather leave w/wet hair bc I have curly hair & air dry it.

But instead I freeze in the chair & scream inside while they do all this unnecessary labor. But whenever I ask to just leave w/wet hair, they’re insulted

Lose/lose for all😅

Today might be a good day to introduce myself- a journalist, comedian, ytuber, mountaineer, etc) and …former guest on Dr Oz! 🤣

That douche not only pinched my arm to get me to shut up, he scared an audience member by planting a fake bed bug on her shoulder.

And he screwed over the exterminator

Was served this the 1st time I ordered ice coffee here in France in 2018.

(It came ON the bucket of ice😅)

My 🇫🇷 tinder date ordered it for me, so this was not a translation issue. This was a “F-you for even asking” issue.

I so admire this protest spirit in even THE dumbest stuff. Next level petty🙌🏻

Met up w/ my French grandma lady friends today for the sole purpose of drinking hot wine and eating these coils of cooked pigs blood. (No meat. Literally just 🩸!)

At 10am.

6+ years here and I’m 😲 regularly. Fascinating people
