Whenever a #DonorConceived person is critical of the infertility industry, or donor anonymity, or some aspect of the fucked up way they were created, there's always some moustache twirling yahoo in the comments like, "Ergo, you wish that you never existed! I am very smart!"

coroner: it's natural, just air escaping the body

my wife: could we remove the kazoo

“I am so sorry, he has never done this before—usually he loves griffins!”
I've never seen a film quite like #WhiteNoise . Loved it. Bewildering, trippy, hilarious. They had it right in Shakespeare's day: you should always end with a dance.
