Nov 2, 2024 | phoebewallhoward.substack.com | Julie Gammack |Phoebe Wall Howard

Maybe we can agree on one thing: Let’s stop plastering the word “F**K” on flags, bumper stickers and car door magnets. Maybe it could be a new year’s resolution? I almost drove into a tree when I passed a “F**ck Biden” flag attached to a house just two doors down from a local church.

Oct 25, 2024 | phoebewallhoward.substack.com | Julie Gammack |Phoebe Wall Howard
