never have i ever been so happy to have the ability to end my life when and how i want than today
males like the hair plugger from south africa who wants to measure wankers and forbid childless ppl in the usa from voting, and the blckface wearing underly endowed pm who got booed at the #naig opening ceremonies, show us just how fawked up this world is.
speaking of the end though... #imagine being a fly on the wall when the rich try to survive without the cogs doing everything for them...
nice to see the #indigenous youth let the lil wyt supremacist in office know how they felt about him as he spoke at the #naig the other day in #halifax
considering #trudeau groped a woman and whines to this day that he did nothing wrong, he probably figures they're booing over something behind him.
just musing as i prep to leave this world behind, but i will never understand how he got into office, or how boris johnson did or how trump did. 3 almost complete idiots somehow ended up in charge.
