In the least shocking of news, it turns out if you raise your kids to be facist, racist, intolerant bullies, you get facist, racist, intolerant adults that believe Any amount of violence is permitted so long as Their Way Is Obeyed. The fuck did anyone expect? 🤬

Finally remembered my password so I can log in on my phone and actually post here and check my notifs! Apologies for all the lovely shares and msgs that received zero response from me over the last few months ❤️🫂❤️. Also oozing poetry again. Double win!
