Why I don’t donate to Wikipedia (and other things)

I cleaned out my screenshots folder last weekend. These are among the goodies I found: I have experienced this in the past. I don’t know if it’s still a thing or not. Also this: When I was a kid in the 80s, watching these films, I didn’t live a life like any of them. (I …read more…

Love in the Time of Toilet Paper
