He was a cutie when sleeping, but this is how this yelling boy who showed affection by biting should be remembered. Just very orange 🧡

If it’s a lot of text I will also just start reading it regardless, often accidentally not listening to all of their intro about what they’re about to read, and then they read it 😅

Queue a very stressful few minutes where I thought that wiping the iPad had accidentally wiped my whole cloud
God what a nightmare

Being Australian with American friends is just having the joking argument over ‘tomato sauce is tomato sauce and ketchup’ every few months

No you don't.
If immigration enforcement leads to concentration camps and roving death squads, maybe it's time to just get rid of the concept of illegal immigration entirely. You've tried it, it's a bad idea in practice, so bin it.
This is a painfully heartbreaking read

13.02.2026 00:48 — 👍 3 🔁 1 💬 1 📌 0I read an article
with the title
“Why covid-19
is ‘a vascular disease
masquerading
as a respiratory one’”,
and as I read the article
I could not help but think
that its title
should have been “why you
should still be wearing a mask.”
I know, my friend,
that in these trying times
it can feel as though
nothing you do is enough,
but know, my friend,
that in these trying times
what matters is that you
at least keep trying.
If you look at the news
you will see who won
the big game,
and if you look at the news
you will see who won
various Olympic events,
and if you look at the news
very closely
you will also see
that all of us
are currently losing.
