Does this mean we can’t have social media? No, it just means the way we are living, the hellscape of online abuse and concrete jungle we’ve created for the next generation is making us vulnerable to manipulation and misery.

Yeah no hard feelings. It was funny. Or it would have been on a better day.

That’s because she was told her vagina was a catchers mitt and she kept trying to use it to catch the ball.
