Young Gen Z’s (early 20 year olds) seem to be ruining progress…what went wrong? I was so hopeful. Now I’m afraid. Damn, I can only hope Harris wins in a few weeks. It seems like the rest of the world follows whatever is trending in the US…the good and the bad. Yes, from an American…but I live abroad

Okay, it worked. Ellen Degeneres‘ Netflix special made me love her fully again.

I can’t believe it! In less than 15 days I will be able to cast my vote for Harris/Walz in this historic and most important election!!! Get your Scheiß together and make sure you can, too!!!!!

Deutschland war für mich viele Jahre lang ein sicherer Ort. Jetzt bin ich auch nervös wegen der bevorstehenden Wahlen hier. Lort.
