I don't really post anymore, but I would like to carry on writing books at some point in the future.
Hate to be annoying, but any chance you could retweet so old twitter followers can find me if they want to? Going to delete my twitter, or at least abandon it on lock and let it die a slow death.
So, tRump just unilaterally grabbed an oil tanker from a sovereign country. Zero oversight. If he can do this now, what else can he do?
Yes, yes I know I keep banging on about my fucking book! However, if you want one repost this and I’ll do a random winner pick thing by the end of the week because I’m great like that. ♥️📚

Appalled to see this image of Donald Trump and the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein projected onto Windsor Castle.
Please... for the love of all that is good, do not share it on all your social media channels... because it simply wouldn't be done to remind the world of the association
Phenomenal set!
Give Hurling a look. You may find it very confusing and enthralling

Missed listening to you since you left OGWN 😫
