Andy Operandi is living TRANS JOY!

People hate the reminder that they could *so easily* protect others but choose not to, daily

Every time I fill out a customer satisfaction survey, I request the workers get raises for their great work. Probably doesn't do anything, but it can't hurt, right?

COVID and flu reactivate dormant cancer. This sounds like how my mom died.

The cover is beautiful!
