Fuck this year. Fuck cancer. Lost my friend of 20 years in his early 50s. Kindest most giving person I’ve ever known, closest to being a Jedi as there ever could be. Miss you Jon.

Replies to this post show I’m not alone. Neutrality has no place in a world where Nazis are running the country. And Trump will attack regardless of how they cover things, that’s all he knows how to do.
