Shared a joint with another piggy Dom, warning how my ADD + drugs make me stupider *and* smarter. After hours of gut-rearranging gore, they had me pinned but lost it when I declared, “Next time, we fight to the death to determine who shall assume the mantle of The Black Panther!”

Mine are mostly sluts who get eaten by monsters, but I am TRYING, Francis!

Commiserating with a friend over our cell service provider like: “T-mobile is a fuckboy who treats you well with initial chivalry...until you're in his Rolodex of options, then he'll show up when it's convenient for him—rarely when you *truly* need him.”
