Hearing that @indivisible.org and @moveon.org are pissing off house dems by mobilizing their constituents to call them too much is frankly the single best endorsement I've ever heard for a political action groups.

Think you're safe as long as you use "knickers" and "loo." In all seriousness, I think that's a question for the Brits not the Yanks, but most importantly YOU. My guess is there are now loads of more imp. qualities you prioritize to distinguish yourself, tho "expat/English" is still there.

Here's your daily reminder that bookstores keep the love of reading alive βΒ but they also keep neighborhoods beautiful. They are places to gather, to celebrate stories, to find community.
Please do your holiday shopping at your local independent bookstore, if you are lucky enough to still have one.
