A couple of days ago, I tweeted “So, according to @wikileaks, @realDonaldTrump has no emails with evidence that he’s a psychotic #sexualpredator #fascist fucktard? Weird!” The next morning, there were responses from the Trump camp saying, “Trump doesn’t use email.” and “You don’t know how wikileaks works.” I immediately blocked those people and deleted the tweet.

Rockaway Beach, Hurricane Hermine
Maybe it’s because my mother was born there or that it has such a huge Irish history, but I feel at home at Rockaway Beach.

When I told my doctor, I could tell she wanted to say something quippy but then consideredContinue reading “You Don’t Have to Watch Dynasty”
And the Award Goes to…
