2023-01-08 21:15:16 +0000 UTCWatching the Bills-Patriots game. I really like Tony Romo. He calls a great game but holy shit, he was bonkers with his religious shit because of the Bills’ player that almost died. No mention of the amazing work the first responders did. Instead he mentioned Stephan Sighs’ leadership because he prayed a lot. Like seriously, what the fuck?

2023-01-07 18:49:52 +0000 UTCI second Australia’s “Change the Date” vote! Always was, Always will be 🖤💛❤️ We need a treaty! And stop “celebrating the ‘stealing’ of traditionally owned lands! Celebrate Fedetration, if you must, but not the massacre of, and stealing from Australia’s First Nations Peoples.
