Not to risqué for Insta, just too honest and liberated. Liberty is a threat to Trump's version of America. Insta is owned, you aren't. Insta isn't our culture, you are!
You look FABULOUS!

How absolutely fabulous! I've never suddenly wanted to become an art thief so bad! I can always buy the poster. Or forge a copy for myself!

It's about time. There were like 50 Eurovision parties in Toronto alone this year and they were all totally fabulous. We share a land border with Denmark damn it.

Yes, this Doktor prescribes homeopathy and "positive thinking" for HIV infections, and tells you that vaccines are just an evil plot to control and kill you. This Doktor claims to have a simple "all-natural" cure for everything, is real, and murdered one of my best friends.

They hadn't heard of the "right to bare arms". The patient's right to surgeons with bare, scrubbed arms rather than cloth full of bacteria from the last patient.

Hey George when are you going to figure out how to use your own domain that you own rather than the platform owned identifier which isn't yours? Do you know why that is important both for you and for setting a good example for others?

At best Trump's policies are random and reckless, at worst they're a power grab designed to concentrate power in him and to do so necessarily destroy American democracy and with it anything about America resembling a dream rather than a nightmare.

It was packed, people everywhere; together in remembering. It was also literally freezing. The fresh blowing snow with occasional sun was a suitably dramatic backdrop for the colourful wreaths & service uniforms. The one Mountie stood out like a cardinal. Ghosts with heavy hearts filled the silence.

George: you really ought to be using your own domain here rather than a platform owned subdomain. The while idea of atproto and why it is so much better is because we can own ourselves here. But like literacy, it's not much use unless we exercise that ability. You have your own domain, use it!
