The world needs social sovereignty

A Tolkienism that should have gone mainstream like “Second Breakfast” is in Chapter 1 of The Fellowship of the Ring. After a feast, hobbits engage in what they call, “filling up the corners.” This is my current status.

Apple RAM prices will be soon considered cheap 😂
