What's the qualitative difference between the Macarena and 6-7. What is that qualia's aesthetic? An amoebic government shutdown footprint? Lacroix-like essence of Spongebob Squarepants skin tones?

Abigail Thorn wishes she could be as charismatic as Natalie Wynn or as real as Lily Alexandre. But she's Abby, and should embrace that with less pretense. You're the showgirl Abby. There's nothing wrong with that. Be you. 💜 #trans #videoessayists #youtubers
