Mark my words: It will be Vance, not Trump who gets to be the first King of America.

The future is bleak.

I agree we need to get rid of all the bullshit you mentioned - but I don’t think giving up our anonymity or more gated communities (like facebook, twitter, instgram and all those fucked up places) are the solution.

Emo album cover vibes.

I’ll bet there is - some of my friends call it “Leseschlaf” (reading sleep), which seems fitting.

It would also make a killer tattoo.

Do it! You have my support (which isn’t worth much, but hey!).
