I kind of hate these signs because they are a tad bit transphobic. Any sign like this has the undertone that it’s basically talking about trans people. And i don’t really love being compared to an alien or Siamese twin or apparently a roman soldier. I’m just a person. Stop with this nonsense

I have never seen a German foot and never want to

What a sensitive guy you are. Blocking a trans woman for saying the mildest criticism ever. I’m sure you’ll block me for this, but sweetheart, you need to learn how to take a joke. You’re embarrassing yourself being so serious and blocking people more left than you for being sarcastic. It’s weird!

Hmmm.

That’s a complicated question for me. I’ll just say I’m not loving it. I miss working in news quite a bit. I kind of think leaving my tv job for something outside news ruined my life for a little while. But I’m up for a job right now that I think I may love, so ask me again in a couple months.

I had many beats, but mostly crime, court, and local government when I was a newspaper reporter. In TV, I did a lot as a assignment desk editor, but it was mostly breaking news

I’m no longer a journalist, but I keep biometrics off all my devices. When I worked in news, I threw away all of my notebooks and kept all files encrypted. I was threatened multiple times to be a witness, and I told them I got rid of all my notes and recordings can’t remember a thing. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

*or not of. Forgive me of typos, I’m cold, y’all.

I lived in Alabama of Tennessee for 30 years, with a 5 year sojourn in Idaho. I would love the weather in any of those places right now over the 11 degrees it currently is western Massachusetts

For some reason, I think the world would be at least 30 percent better if we all rode trains as our primary form of transportation

Many people will not understand this metaphor, but I fucking love it

This has been happening for quite a while, has it not? I started transitioning in 2020, and I can remember transphobic bullshit from the NYT back then. When it comes to trans issues, they’ve been no better than Fox News for a long time now

I can’t afford $1,700 in rent. Much less for health insurance.

My hatred for greeting cards isn’t as extreme as my hatred for calendars, but I understand where you’re coming from

Holy shit. I fucking loved this. That man is brilliant.

Thinking about you, Micheal!

Lol he blocked me. What a goddamn baby
