Respectfully, please step down and let someone like Nancy Pelosi, who will stand up to the Republicans, take your place.

I wasn’t speaking to you.

Shouldn’t you be on X with Space Karen where you belong?

Depends on the parents. My kids graduated 15 years ago, and they took Latin and Spanish.

Yes, I leave on Monday to go back to Trumpistan. I am going to Croatia in Sept. I’m sort of stuck in Calheta, but it is beautiful even though the food is bad.

That was stunning. It was so peaceful. I was told they filmed a Star Wars movie there.

Ha, I used having an imaginary elephant would be worse than a horse. Today’s was better. A person, a stranger takes a seat across from you , and you respond by telling them about your life. Write a letter using I have news over and over again.

I have one small complaint. The food is not very good. I’m at the Saccharum, and the food at the hotel and the cafes in this area is not good, but this was gorgeous.

Have they lost their f#cking minds? The insanity gets worse by the day.

You can have my writing cues for today. They kicked my ass. 1. There are worse things than having an imaginary horse as your friend. ( You have to write it in 7 minutes. ) 2. Go wild, writing a creative story using the words: ladder, a green crayon, and a glass of water in the story. (40 min.)

That’s nice to hear. How are you doing with learning Portuguese? I find the language extremely difficult. I can speak Spanish, a few words in Italian, but I can read it and some French, but Portuguese is kicking my ass. I didn't think it would be so difficult for me.

I wrote while watching the water. It’s a nice way to write.

We could also combine them. We had 50 minutes to write tonight which is the most time we’ve been given. All the writers have been writers with the instructor for years, and they’re all amazing. I’m the only newbie, but I’m learning so much, and there isn't a maga in the group. 🤣

It’s timed writing. They give you cues to write about. Tonight, our session was from 4:00 to 6:00pm. We had to write about : ā€œ I won't be able to write from the grave, so let me tell you what I love: Or ā€œ I won't be able to write from the grave, so let me tell you what I hate. ā€œ~

The problem is leaving your children. It’s not as easy for them to get jobs overseas. I’m working on getting my Austrian citizenship, so there are places I can live in the EU, but everyone in Lisbon is telling me their government is going far-right fascist.

We went to the Botanical gardens yesterday. The Island is stunning. I hate to go back to the US on Monday. Our country has lost its mind.

Itā€˜s so nice of $hitler’s administration to make food unsafe again in the country.

Madeira is gorgeous. Madeira is self-governing and not tied to Portugal?
comment in response to post
More pictures from the Island of Maderia. It’s beautiful here, but this writing seminar is kicking my ass but in a good way, and everyone in the group hates MAGA.
comment in response to post
No, but it is something they copied from the one in Brazil. Lisbon looks like a European San Francisco, but nicer and cleaner. It has the same kind of hills, too. I’ve had a great time. We’re flying to Madeira tomorrow. This is my friend and me with the Golden Gate of Lisbon.

I thought the far right was the projected to win.

I’m going there on Sunday. It’s beautiful. Are you worried about your election coming up?
comment in response to post
The man is insane. The US doesn't have castles, and if you’re making a movie that takes place in another country you have to pay more? What kind of goverment dictates where movies are allowed to be made?

My son had shingles in his 20’s. Stress can bring them on early.

Wow, and Italy voted in a fascist government and they can't stand Trvmp.

I wonder how Elise Stefanik is feeling.m

The rest of us should be slamming margaritas and practicing Spanish with our Mexican brothers and sisters.

I mean this as a sincere compliment. You look like you could be one of Kamala Harris’ nieces. I find her and her family to be gorgeous like you.

Did you have to make pretend you were Canadian first? I’m going to Portugal on Tuesday. I’m afraid of the reception we’ll receive.

I loved it there. It’s a gorgeous city.

Do you have proof that the US is giving weapons to Russia? I know it’s a rumor.

CBS is caving in to Trump and Fascism?

I’ll believe it when I see it. There is no way in hell that they’re touching him while he’s president because of that DOJ missive that says you can't arrest a President while he’s in office.

My cousin is autistic and no one knew what was wrong with him in the 60’s but we knew there was something wrong. They didn't give it a name.
