Sorry I’m late, darlings, I just got home from the dentist! Hey, look at this: the UK Advertising Standards Authority has decided that an offensive transphobic commercial is, in fact, offensive! Good to see the President doubling down on his big reveal last week, although someone might want to inform him that we have not [...]
Like an increasing number of people, I identify as an atheist/agnostic (depending on the day). As such, I don’t believe that human are imbued with an immortal soul. I’ll use the phrase “selling your soul” to mean selling out or turning on what you believe in, but I don’t take it literally. Last week I [...]

Hoy les voy a hablar sobre la microbiota de la vagina, específicamente sobre qué es, para qué la quieres y qué puede pasar cuando arrasas con ella.

More like “God is a dick” theory of fossilization. I mean really, isn’t he allowing satan to run amock and decieve people? It is almost as if God wants people to go to hell.
There are no trackbacks to display at this time.
