Sex and Sexism
It's 3:44 am and I've been restless, unsleeping. I slept at first then woke with thoughts of Epstein, who just suicided because he didn't want to sit through a long trial about his sex trafficking of young girls. He didn't want to be someone's bitch in prison after having made so many young girls serve as his bitch. According to one report I ( Read more... ) -

The web is calling him racist because he doesn't agree with part of the ( Read more... )Coquille Indian Tribe Legalizes Gay Marriage

Kitten is racing around the livingroom, batting bits of dirt on the slippery almost-wood floor. The lesbian neighbors are getting their yard done. Every week those guys are here trimming and mowing and making the place look like fantasyland.
