Second month in a row that I’m not being paid in time. Is this the reason why I went out to find a job? What a fucking joke.

We’re always making some trouble somewhere.
This is Adelita Grijalva. She was elected 43 days ago.

Republicans still refuse to swear her in because she is the final vote needed to release the Epstein Files.

It would really help if someone donated a big amount right about now. It’s hard and I owe money to someone who’s shaking me down a bit.

Any list of the best horror movies of the 21st century with Guadagnino's Suspiria as 81 is a list I close immediately. What the fuck, dude.
