If you know a reader who tends to have an overly literal interpretation of everything, direct them to smut. That way they can have an overly clitoral interpretation.

For my vacation this year I’m going to fly to the EU. Then I’ll stand outside places of worship wearing a tux and holding a sign that says “Will marry for EU citizenship” in the local language.
…….I’m legitimately unsure how much of this is a joke.

We should abolish the Department of Education and create the Department of Ignorance. Many of us need to be taught how to embrace ignorance to survive in this Orwellian/Vonnegutesque shitshow. I want to trade in my grad degree for a Certificate in Yay Tariffs.

Trump’s second term is a terrifying sequel to No Country for Old Men entitled “A Country For Only Rich Old White Men”

Theseus kidnapped Queen Hippolyta, took her to Athens, married her, had a son, and then bailed on her for some Cretan chick who fell in love with that very son.
