My sincere Thanksgiving wish for you is that everybody at your Thanksgiving table comes out at the exact same time.

Why are they looking so dirty about it

Doing your best to literally destroy life-sustaining ecosystems while also sanctioning the torture of people is hard on the spirit, wow who knew

A cool way to liven up a Thanksgiving conversation is to ask who at the table is considering buccal fat removal and then pull out before and after photos of what that is.

I feel the need to do some sort of weird fun benevolent odd bookstore event. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

If you feel creatively stuck today…or ever…I hope this helps. 💜

I’m wishing you the absolute best. It’s fucking tough. And so many people cobble together a constellation of income in a way that can be incredibly tiring… or, for some people, freeing. But again, I’m sending you the best wishes to get that money.
