🌸Strolling under cherry blossoms at night in Nakameguro
On my 3 year nomadiversary, I'm looking at 1 yr apartment leases.
It's a whole new level of culture shock being home in 🇺🇸 again. I'm ready to be in one place but also feel like a part of my identity and community is being stripped away.
I'll spend the rest of 2019 rediscovering magic.

Travel took up so much of my energy that now that I'm done, I'm not sure what else brings me a sense of wonder. I need to relearn who I am and what feels right.

Ivor Cummins has been wrong (or lying) almost entirely throughout this pandemic and got paid handsomly for it.

He has been wrong (or lying) so often that it will be nearly impossible for me to track every grift, lie, deceit, manipulation he has pulled. I will use...


... other sources who have been trying to shine on light on this grifter (as I have tried to do, time and again:


Example #1: "Still not seeing Sweden signal versus Denmark really"... There it was (Images attached).
19 to 80 is an over 300% difference.

Example #2 - "Yes, I'm comparing the Noridcs / No, you cannot compare the Nordics."

I wonder why...

Example #3 - "I'm only looking at what makes the data fit in my favour" a.k.a moving the goalposts.
