Let’s get one thing straight: I don’t care who the hell you are, but if you are a teenaged or twenty-something female who grew up in North America, there [...]

Change is Good, Dollar Bills are Better

Unforeseen circumstances caused me to start this blog, so unforeseen circumstances will cause me to end it – but not now, no way in hell.
