And it’s fucking terrible compared to real leather. It’ll start flaking or cracking after a year, it’s fucking dangerous around fire, it offers no fucking insulation or protection, it’s shit.

A lot of novice fire performers will grab it thinking it’s the same as real leather, and we always have to pull them aside and give em a talk

100%, I do the same while listening to music. On the best days, I’ll lose all sense of time until I find myself on the other side of town.

I discover the best places that way, and I always pin them for next time I’m around. If I pass by an interesting looking place but don’t go in, I’ll mark it with a question mark in a list called “Sidequests”

I use weed to cope with existential crisis and sociopolitical turmoil. Oh you mean physically? Heh… Heh…

Real answer: I walk a lot, I’m grateful to live in a walkable city

I’m a fire performer, I’ve set some pretty large fires. Nope. Always have a safety plan

Because the car and air industries are so powerful they can effectively pay to suppress all other forms of transportation

Micro plastics

Very frequently, across two countries even

There’s a few more countries than Mexico and Spain

Also, Spain’s accent is very identifiable.

As someone who grew up bilingual in the US and now knows 3 languages, the US is fucking allergic to secondary languages. It’s the xenophobia

Money laundering, it’s really good for that

Beardies are funny

I moved at the start of 2025 but immigration is a loooong process

Dealing with immigrating to another country for the second time in my life. Fuck Trump.

All we can do is provide the best care we can and give them the best life we can provide

I’m not really sure what this has to do with my comment

Huh, that’s a lot of dragons

I always introduce myself using my native birth country (always a fun talking point too!), never as an American. If prompted I’ll say I’m a New Yorker, but I refuse to represent that stain on the planet.

E: I no longer live in the US either

I’ve had to go to the emergency room three times now for severe food poisoning, in two countries. In the US it cost about $3k each time, post insurance. In Canada I was able to walk out of the ER like it was a pokemon center

I’m in Canada, I swear I use both on a daily basis

Oh look we get both!
