This perfectly encapsulates how I feel living in the US. The republican party is an insane death cult, the democratic party is 3 corporations in a trench coat, and the "socialists" are just the completely normal left-wing capitalists you'd find in any of 2 dozen European nations.

I think this bag is fake.
Hermes's flagship products are handsewn using a saddle stitch. A worker marks the leather using an awl and then threads two needles through from both sides.
This results in a tight stitch with no holes between the stitches. The holes here suggest the bag was machine sewn.

Agree. We should treat Harry Potter Adults like cybertruck owners at this point.
Also Harry Potter adults really ought to be ostracised and I mean that with my whole chest because if you can casually support it then that means you’re cool with supporting its creator against trans folks so please go house sort yourself into a bin where you belong.

Can anyone recommend any articles that discuss the causes of lower marriage rates in Japan these days? Is simply not knowing how to act on a date even a real factor, or is the government treating the no-baby crisis like a matchmaking problem among individuals and not a societal one?
