That said - I don't think most of the books I had to read in school were particularly worthwhile (only really changed about starting college). Certainly not Gatsby.

Maybe all humanities courses should come with trigger warnings, 'The past: not the present', 'Art: occasionally challenging'

Trigger warning: unemployment.

She is quite beautiful. But really CNN, 'sextortion'?, really?

Don't worry, after English, it's the most common language here; we can't move* for blinged Range Rovers.



*or park for that matter.

And there are ten thousand women who voluntarily put their pictures up who look just as good.

But they didn't win shit, so fuck them.
