Bad birthday to Jon Bernthal. A raging zionist who signed a letter thanking Joe Biden for carrying out genocide in Palestine and hosted an ex IDF soldier to discuss the “bravery” it took to kill Palestinian civilians. If you’re his fan, either grow a spine or block me
i swear depression gives you brain damage. No cap. Like, i feel like i’ve lost so much brain capacity after the really, really bad depressive episodes i’ve had in the past few years. My memory is so, so, so bad now. i can’t recall anything. i feel so dumb all of the time…
