As of today I’ve been sober 1️⃣6️⃣ years. 16 yrs ago I was in jail in a wheelchair, covered in blood, both arms broken, after driving blackout drunk into a building. Today, I’m home with my wife & kids & I’m healthy. Thank you to all who’ve helped me.🤝
As of today I’ve been sober for 18 years. I hesitated posting this today but I feel duty-bound to let those who need help with booze or drugs know that there is another way. Thank you to everyone who’s helped me along the way.❤️
Just stormed out of “Cats” with my sons Bairon & Tannis because of how much the Judi Dench cat licks her own asshole. Once I’d understand, but she acts like the thing is a goddamn buffet. Tannis is still crying
Pretty hostile of a job to require a college degree. “You and/or your parents must take out loans of $100,000 or we won’t let your log into SalesForce in our windowless building next to the airport.”
Today would have been our son Henry’s first day of reception. Would’ve loved to see him in his little uniform like his big brothers. ❤️ to all parents & siblings of wee ones who’ve died.
How does 56 yr old Kamala Harris wear Chuck Taylors all the time? I’m 43 & if I wore them for 3 hours I would have to go to the emergency room. Are they hollowed out & filed with DARPA orthotic gel?
Our first Christmas without Henry came & went. The day itself was okay, maybe because there were so many horrible, painful days leading up to it; we must have hit our quota or something. We talked about him a lot & included his memory throughout the day.
>80 million people live in Iran. I know many wonderful people from Iran. I don’t want 20 yr olds from Indiana to go there & kill civilians & kids & then get killed themselves. Imperial war is the darkest evil.
For all those wondering, this is my son Nestor. We share no blood but he is my life. He came from Cuba (legally, of course) six years ago and lives with me in Florida.
I am so proud of him and raising him has been the best, most rewarding thing I’ve done in my life.
I hate people who are like “So & so got me sick.” What are you, fuckin Columbo the epidemiologist? The world’s a toilet. You got yourself sick. Fuck off & stop blaming others for your filth.
The iPhone “dashboard” or whatever shows you “featured photos” every morning. Mine always include a few of my son Henry who died 3 yrs ago. I cannot put into words how much I love it. I love to look at him every morning of every day.
I am SICK. I’ve tried to keep my mouth shut & I’ll probably delete this, but Melania profaning the White House Rose Garden with her tasteless “redesign” is the final straw. I will no longer be voting Trump.
How to say this simply? I lived in the US until I was 37 & had private health insurance most of my life. For the past 5 yrs I’ve lived in the UK & use the NHS. The NHS is a HUGE part of why I might never move back to the US.
I appreciate that the GameStop stuff is “funny” to some of you but I had planned to buy my wife a (modest) boat for Valentine’s Day & now I can’t & I’m going to have to work up the courage to ask my dad to loan me the money. This was NOT on my 2021 bingo card.
Appropriate that he ordered the strike with American bombs from American soil. Our tax dollars helped murder Lebanese & Palestinian civilians again today, rather than pave a road or hire a teacher.
Haha only just watched this. Matthews sucks. Bitch if my taxes go from $1000 to $1100 but my usurious, useless insurance premium goes from $800 to $0, I SAVE MONEY YOU BLATHERING STOOGE. He 100% cried & apologized to his boss for not making Warren buckle.
My 7 yr old wrote a letter to the tooth fairy yesterday. He hasn’t lost a tooth yet, nor does he have any loose teeth. He just wanted to introduce himself.
Just had a brief but very illuminating conversation with President Biden, whom I support fully. He told me as a kid in Scranton he used to… here’s the deal: you take an old tire and fill it with soup - listen. Ten, twenty people in one car. You better believe it. Pepperidge farm
Tesla’s plummeting stock price might be “funny” to some but consider this: my portfolio has suffered to the extent that I will have to reduce the number of multi-family homes I buy to drive up rent in cities I’ve never even been to. Still laughing?
Knocked it out of the PARK in Chernobyl. Watching it I consciously thought, "Oh, we have a new movie star." Between that & how funny he was in Friday Night Dinner... just unreal talent. Rest in peace, Paul Ritter.
If the first thing you say about trans people is about bathrooms or sports & not about how to make the world safer for these beautiful children of God, you need real help.
My wife wanted to make love tonight. Had to take a rain check. I’m still so fuckin angry about the Chinese spy balloon. I’ve never known rage, or fear, like this.
🇺🇸It is my GOD GIVEN RIGHT as an American to contract the novel coronarivus at a CIGAR BAR and then starve to death as I try to study the HEIROGLYPHICS in the COBRA plan from my wife's old JOB to determine if I'm ALLOWED to go to the hospital for under $70,000.00🇺🇸
Gorgeous day for a nurses’ strike outside Great Ormond St Hospital. So grateful for their unmatched care & skill. Now let’s get them the fucking pay rise they deserve & that the nation can *easily* afford. Austerity is a choice so change your mind or get in the bin!✊🏼❤️@theRCN
Remembering the wonderful young midwife in a hijab who delivered my son Henry. The Muslim surgeon who removed his first tumor. I am grateful for the care Muslims in & out of the NHS have shown my family. I will show you care & solidarity always.
Kids don’t worry about getting suspended. I got suspended for more than 3 days in high school & I have my own tv show & a sexy wife. Piss on the GOP & the NRA. They fear you. Get high on that.
College admissions officers take note. Any high school student with this three day suspension on the record should get special consideration and some extra college credits for public service.

Riding in black cabs was one of Henry’s great joys. He would often thank the driver in sign language at the end of a ride. Many drivers wouldn’t accept £ when they learned our destination or would give me £ to donate to hospital trust. Good people.
I’m so sorry to hear your sad news Rob. I took you and Henry to GOSH one day last year and it stuck with me what an absolute trooper of a boy he was. He was, without hyperbole, an inspiration to me, and I’m so gutted to hear of his passing. Sending love to you and your family.
Sunak correct that there’s no “magic money tree.” It’s not magic & it’s actually more of a forest, watered with the sweat & blood of workers & then chipped down and hoarded by him & his billionaire mates while your family starves & freezes.
Motherfucker I’m an immigrant & I turned a fucking cash hose on & sprayed it up the NHS’s ass the second my plane landed. Some of that £ paid the European & Asian nurses, midwives & doctors who treat my family & yours brilliantly. Fuck off 12 times immediately.
One time Jon Hamm was sitting in the booth next to me, but he had gained a lot of weight & was dresssed like shit & crying but then I realized it was just a mirror.
This is what it was like spending time with our son’s dead body. He had cancer so there was nothing we could do to stop it. I think I’m posting this because many making/avoiding decisions right now haven’t held their child’s corpse.
It is not possible for me to reply to every bereaved parent & sibling who has replied to this but please know I love you all & am grateful for all the help you give me & my family just by trudging along. ❤️
We've been hearing from artists and writers about moments in their lives that brought comfort, while the world is a bit bleak. For Grief Awareness Week, we heard from actor, comedian and writer @robdelaney, about how his perspective on hope changed, after losing his son #R4Today
Give a man a fish… Just give him the fish, asshole. He’s hungry, you’ve got an extra fish. Hand it over, fuckface. He doesn’t have time to go to your shitty “fishing school.” I’m gonna count to 3.
Our hero, the man of the year Wael Al-Dahdouh has left Gaza for medical treatment. His wife, daughter, two sons, grandchild all killed by Israel. His own life almost taken multiple times. A symbol of Gazan resilience.
May Allah heal all his wounds, physical and emotional. Ameen
My son needed to see a dr. today. Got a walk-in appt at local NHS GP. Dr. was kind/thorough. No co-pay or visit to a billing office. Wasn’t free; it’s funded thru taxes & Nat’l Ins. contributions. I wish Americans could experience this. #MedicareForAll
I hated people who showed disrespect to people with disabilities before I had a disabled child. Now? I’ll fucking shred you. They’ll hose you off the road & into the sewer.
