I did not make this and don't know who did, all the same - lmao

Today was the centenary of the Tri-State Tornado. Pray for the souls of the departed.

I’m crying, this is so funny WEAPONIZED MANSPLAINING FOR ESPIONAGE ☠️☠️

A couple of bonus pictures of St. Paul’s, Troy NY to brighten your Wednesday.
