"anthropologist visits enby island, has no idea how to react" peter ifbookscouldkill I know this is a joke about josh hawley but that's literally the plot of leguin's the left hand of darkness

I don't usually give my dogs table scraps but there is something really special about cutting off little slivers of apple for my 4 lb dog and enjoying our apple slices together

I know the license plate "OHSTA8" means Ohio State as I am in Columbus Ohio but you didn't need that a. The 8 has the a sound already. It just looks like oh stab

“Porn” is a public good.

“Porn” is the sign of a healthy, open society.

“Porn” is record of the diversity of sexual expression.

“Porn” brings people joy, access to parts of themselves that they may not have another way to express.
