As a person with ADHD, I can’t make my stories very succinct. Thankfully Threads lets me write as much as I want, so if you’re interested in how I made our Christmas tree smell like koala pee, you can follow me there 👍🐨

Three weeks ago my husband had to literally babysit me every second of the day so I wouldn’t kill myself. You’ll have to forgive me if I don’t have the mental or emotional energy to make a statement about the last few days... Just know a lot of betrayed people are hurting...

Don’t. Don’t do this. He’ll never ever know you did, so you won’t get brownie points. He won’t win - it’s just another vote for Trump. Just don’t and say you did if it’s that important.

I am absolutely, 100% all for turning your life around, admitting your errors and trying again. But mate, you’re addicted. You can be in 10 “therapy programs” and they still won’t work if you don’t admit you’re addicted to power and being a figure head. This isn’t the way 😢.

If we will not address access to firearms, let’s at least address the toxic egotism that’s killing women and children every day. Two mass shootings linked to “humiliation” within days of each other. 15 people dead. Don’t want to talk about guns? Talk about THIS.

Ryan is a human and deserves to be treated with dignity, of course, but so do the people he irreversibly hurt. This is scarily lacking in remorse and is almost like a check list of “things I’m supposed to say.” Stay away, friends. This guy should be privately healing. He’s sick.
