Another Practical Side to Diversity
I have a friend who writes books in an engaging style, using her wonderful imagination. She is currently in hiding, fearful for her life, and for her own safety writes under multiple pseudonyms. All because of her having discovered another…
Satirism or Satyrism?
I have an uncontrollable need to make fun of everybody while engaging in habitual and indiscriminate sex. I always liked it when a one nighter would say, “Hey, you’re a funny fucker.” But when it finally struck me as odd…
