I had a food delivery person steal my order today instead of delivering it. I’m strongly in the school of thought of “If you see someone stealing food, no you didn’t”, but also: I’m unemployed. Consider stealing food from a rich person or a corporation instead of me.

if you follow me and are using my RTs of authors' books to pirate books (many who are financially struggling, I might add), then frankly fuck off.
