Not being bitchy but why are you 2 doing this as opposed to just going on a cruise vacation? 🤷‍♀️ I wouldn't want to risk my vacation being ruined by strangers when you have family to ruin your fun. "You're eating too much, Asha."

humandecency.bsky.social•153 days ago

Is that your side hustle Asha?

kevinleecaster.bsky.social•153 days ago

What is the expected carbon footprint?

asharangappa.bsky.social•153 days ago

There is a number there — you can call and ask

kevinleecaster.bsky.social•153 days ago

One individual on a typical cruise ship emits roughly 420 kg of CO² per day. I just bring it up since my community was just wiped out by a fossil fueled hurricane is all.

Stop being a Debbie Downer.

dianamc.bsky.social•153 days ago

Having your community wiped out is the downer not the comment.
Bar Harbor ME has been decimated by the cruise ship industry which has polluted the local fishing waters & livelihoods of lobstermen. The cruise bz is nasty environmentally & to communities.

So if you knew, why did you ask?

kevinleecaster.bsky.social•153 days ago

Can I ask what makes you unconcerned about global warming?

cynesthesia.bsky.social•153 days ago

Can you answer my question first?

aagewinther.bsky.social•153 days ago

Looking forward to buy you a cup of coffee at Starbucks copenhagen.
See you!

stampergr.bsky.social•153 days ago

That would be fun, though not able to make that.

It's complicated.

texascommonsense.bsky.social•153 days ago

Cool idea! Checking it out! If the trump guardrails collapse I might sign on as a short-order bfast chef

Thank you!

kellybb.bsky.social•153 days ago

Is there anything Asha can’t do? 🤔

mandapanda73.bsky.social•153 days ago

Wow, sounds amazing.

edoggthered.bsky.social•153 days ago

It’s like a jam band cruise, only with talking, right?

billysunday.bsky.social•153 days ago

Hopefully the same amount of drugs, just to keep things interesting

edoggthered.bsky.social•153 days ago

And with more frequent ablutions.

doubtingtommy.bsky.social•153 days ago

Respectfully, what is the occasion? A wonkfest?

asharangappa.bsky.social•153 days ago

No, just a chance to hang out with us and visit cool countries

doubtingtommy.bsky.social•153 days ago

Awesome and good for you. In Denmark at the moment...Sweden tomorrow. Wishing you folks a great cruise

doubtingtommy.bsky.social•153 days ago

The Danish resistance museum is worth a stop

bgrueskin.bsky.social•153 days ago

Does it include 4-year residency visas in any of those countries?

citizenjenn.bsky.social•153 days ago

LOL

amyblufrog.bsky.social•153 days ago

Great itinerary!

swampsparrow.bsky.social•153 days ago

Cruises are so relaxing. They're just lovely.

mykel11.bsky.social•153 days ago

Sounds great

pipsymomma.bsky.social•153 days ago

That sounds like a great cruise.

ne1970.bsky.social•153 days ago

Wow. That sounds amazing. I doubt I can afford it tho.

anotherbob.bsky.social•153 days ago

Is asylum in an attractive Scandinavian country of one's choice part of the package?

asharangappa.bsky.social•153 days ago

That’s part of what I’ll be scoping out 😂

normanviano.bsky.social•153 days ago

Any cats on the cruise?

mayhemmayhap.bsky.social•153 days ago

Being trapped on a ship after COVID & Norwalk just isn't as much fun.

bookjackie.bsky.social•153 days ago

Oooh. We are checking out.

sacha.prins.net•153 days ago

Will there be red wine and fries at drinks time?

asharangappa.bsky.social•153 days ago

Yes! (At least I am requesting it!)

liammcreanan.bsky.social•153 days ago

Thinking you must stop in Edinburgh? Or maybe even Orkney/Shetland?

karol-in-tn.bsky.social•153 days ago

My husband & I are going on our first cruise next spring to celebrate a major bday & retirement. Starting in Athens which bittersweet as we look at the state of our democracy.
