They are all well-qualified members of the counter-culture. They are allowed to be here.
Their lives are the same for generations. There is no social upheaval that will really affect them. If you're comfortably middle-class, what's the worst a government policy could do? Ever? Tax you at...
The sudden noise through the headphones is disconcerting—a massive, evil-sounding slab of guitar, seemingly played with the sole intention of terrifying anyone who hasn’t yet lived through a roughly e...
The people around you are mirrors, I think to myself....You see yourself reflected in their eyes. If the mirror is true, and smooth, you see your true self. That’s how you learn who you are. And you m...
The Fear is my Second Coming. When everyone in the world admits they’re going to die, we’ll really start getting some stuff done.

No puedo creer que hayaos llegado a un punto en el que nos cuesta dinero tener un coño. Nos están obligando a pagar por el cuidado y mantenimiento de nuestra entrepierna como si se tratara de un jardí...
Most sexism is down to men being accustomed to us being the losers. That's what the problem is. We just have bad status. Man are accustomed to us being runners-up or being disqualified entirely. For m...
