Before Elon took over, I think Twitter went down once in the 10 years I had my account. It’s gone down three times today alone. The US is letting this guy run a government department and their space program. Uh huh…

Everyone hates on Twitter because of Elon but Instagram gets away with murder. Such a toxic place to be as well. “Oh, look at me, how exciting is my life right now?” Constant Match of the Day-style highlights reel that makes you feel pitted against everyone else. Burn it down.
Joined my local library yesterday! 📚 Probably the only person to walk in and out of the building to be reminded of the old Palast der Republik in the former DDR 😃

Greetings from Havana, looking out at the sea from a friend’s apartment. Next stop: the USA 🌞🇨🇺
Was aggressively growing my beard ahead of going to Cuba so I’d low-key look like Fidel but, with just days to go, I caved and trimmed it back
