Even if you cry
Landing on your sideboard Athena

Hey how about you don’t send me a fucking email asking if I meant to unsubscribe from your fucking emails

Potatoes are tomatoes! Ok not exactly, but scientists have worked out that modern potatoes evolved, in part, from an ancient tomato plant. “Dipping fries into ketchup just got a little more mind-bending.” [theatlantic.com]
