Just a mid-afternoon nap of a neighbourhood.
Social Costco.
Eat all this beef for some gender euphoria.
I muted the word “men” on Twitter about a month ago.
Defamiliarization for the people.
Malls before swine.
Just what this town needs: a Zeller’s Boutique Pop-Up.
I set out to throw my landlord in the ocean and all I got was this stupid inflation spike.
“Galen Weston should be shot in the street” is not a thing I believe *wink*.
Institutional buts? Butts?
Pose poetry.
More like, the open-faced sandwich of contemporary writing.
Welcome to Sprawl City.
When you’re joking, but also.
