Not boasting. Have I mentioned that I’ve been in 2 motorcycle accidents, 1 car accident, dislocated my tailbone, lost arm flesh, gotten umpteen stitches all over, and broken my bones multiple times? — I was not the sanest teenager. I liked racing and fast cars. God bless my parents.

Periodic reminder — patriarchy sucks.

Badass Book of the month: “Smashing The Patriarchy” • Bebadass.in

A book on the multi-faceted nature of modern feminism that is not afraid to highlight the hypocrisies that often impede our day-to-day critiques.

All the posts we had were stockpiled back in 2023 based on a meticulous plan to build the perfect social media account to get people as frothy as possible for the world's first anime rhythm game, but the architect of those plans is just gone.
