Reminds me of a deserved ticket I got in the Netherlands that I have yet to pay 🤷🏻♀️
Everything is indeed fucked. Good song.

I’ve had bad experiences with men who romanticize Fight Club.
I’ve been called a TERF more times than I can count and about 60% of trans ‘activists’ on bluesky have me blocked, because I respectfully disagreed with them on the association they claim to exist between anti-transsexuality and misogyny.
