How exactly did it take "a lot of work" for you to see your kid again nine months after you voluntarily left him, Neil?

He spent months applying for, and being refused, compassionate visas.

The compassionate thing would be to take the kid away from these two narcissists.

I imagine the evaluation process was like "soooo, what was the reason you were separated in the first place?" "I broke a bunch of quarantine laws to get away from my partner and kid" and then raised eyebrows, appeal denied. But on this occasion the reviewer asked who the partner was.

I just a left a hipster coffee shop. It was packed with Kiwis, whispering amongst each other about what a commendable job President Biden did with his speech at the Inauguration

oh no
well, this tweet also spawned the first time i’ve ever seen “yankee go home” in my feed from a kiwi, so clearly, yes, some people here hate americans. good to know, thanks guys. takeaway = stick to the coffeeshops, where the people seem to be consistently kind ♥️☕️🙏🏼— Amanda Palmer 🎹 (@amandapalmer) January 21, 2021

I've seen it pointed out that it just being the staff makes it more likely - "maybe this will get her to tip with money rather than hugs"

come on - i simply cant imagine that amanda palmer could find a way to bring up the election and talk about herself while placing her coffee order. nope, simply not possible. it was "spontaneous".
― nobody like my rap (One Eye Open), Thursday, 21 January 2021 15:26 (three years ago) link
How many people were behind this coffee counter exactly? I'd say you need 20-25 people applauding pretty bloody hard for it to count as an eruption. Anything else is a light round or a golf clap.

I checked but somehow she has continued tweeting after this?
tbf I assume that after ten months in an airbnb in a town of 60,000, staff at a place she goes to regularly "not knowing who she is but knowing the loud lady with a loud American accent and fake eyebrows is American" is probably as common as she says
