today in #9chickweedlane i learned alistair will claim the human body is not designed for affection right before folding up his intended mate like a goddamn taco, so maybe that's a you issue, alistair
President [GUY WHO HAS COMMITTED MULTIPLE WAR CRIMES], a [REPUBLICAN / DEMOCRAT], sidestepped his [COMPLICIT / COWARDLY / TOTALLY INEPT] Congress, instead directly ordering [HIS LATEST WAR CRIME] much like his predecessor, [ANY PRESIDENT SINCE WORLD WAR II].

From Rabbi @marisaelana.bsky.social:
May Iranians, who mostly hate their leaders, be safe.
May Palestinians, who mostly hate their leaders, be safe.
May Israelis, who mostly hate their leaders, be safe.
May all the war-mongering authoritarians be deposed & may they [yet] experience real justice..
Today in #9ChickweedLane I learned Amos must thank Mary for the narrow miss of almost having a second relationship in his life, which would have ruined him, I guess, for some puritanical reason
