Constant. Emotional. Whiplash.
I just want to learn as much as I can, about almost everything. If you’re interesting, or just interested in something, then we can probably get along. Unless you’re one of those anti-woke, ignorance-loving, intolerant, bigoted dickhead types; in that case you can fuck all the way off 😇

Who will they blame then?
What will they have gained?
