Me gusta el pan y hablar de libros

out it goes: my long post about Rachel Hope Cleves's claim that Tillie Walden plagiarised her book. It's long because Cleves's claim is much, much more bizarre than it looked on first reading. I'm not going to bury the lede here. Cleves's claim does not hold up. buttondown.com/thene/archiv...

Mucho ánimo a la gente de hostelería que va a tener que currar hoy en terrazas y demás, haciendo acopio de voluntad para no mirar al puto cielo, o para tratar de hacer si trabajo con unas gafas con las que no se ve nada.

Aunque CD Projekt Red estén empeñados en lo contrario, creo que si la cirugía hubiera avanzado como para operarte y ponerte cosas fácilmente yo no me pondría tetas o culo, me pondría a. orejitas de furry o b. quizás un brazo extra
