Hundreds of thousands of Albanians have been protesting for over a week to revolt against their corrupt govt as well as criminal slumlord traitor Jared Kushner and Crimestress Ivanka for plotting to seize their land.
Americans could learn a thing or two on how it’s done.

The Albanian people have been massively protesting for several consecutive days against slumlord crook Jared Kushner and Crimestress Ivanka seizing land in their country to the sum of billions of dollars to build a trashy resort. I hope they don’t stop until their evil corrupt deal is reversed.

You guys, the White House accidentally ordered 10x the amount of Porta-Potties that they needed. The lawn is just acres of Porta-Potties.
It’s all fenced off and you can’t see, but I took this photo through a hole in the fence netting.

I used to study oracle bone inscriptions. The ancient Chinese questioned the gods by chiseling inscriptions on turtle shells and bovine scapulas. It was pretty cool reading what court oracles wrote in 1200 BC

Okay, deep breath.
For the past few months, I've been channelling all the rage and absurdity of modern life into a different kind of horror.
I've written my first novel—a psychological thriller. It's called "Baby's Breath".
More on the publication soon.
