I had a melanoma removed from my left lower leg. It was an atypical presentation (no Dark Mark on the surface skin), so it had gotten quite big before I decided to have this Weird Lump under the skin removed.

Just spoke to President @RTErdogan of Turkey...Likewise, the Kurds want it, and the ultimate solution, to happen (emphasis mine).

Sorry!  you’re right.

He is allowed to say whatever the hell he wants in public; and I’m allowed to say he’s a hateful piece of shit for saying it. I don’t watch or listen to him; why would I support someone with that sort of track record of homo- and transphobia?
