I mean, really belated. It's already the end of March and my main focus this year has been undermining our fascist government. ✌️ Oh, and I changed positions at work at the end of last August, and that has significantly amped up my workload, but I like it. Fortunately for me, I've accomplished ...

Great-Grandparents: The Bartlett-Galfre Side
