Profanity is a fact of life.
Sincerely, saramcpherson
I’ve been complaining about this for weeks now. Alternately, I don’t want to type “fuching” either. What does that even mean?
“I don’t consider myself better than anyone because I use Apple products and you...”

When you first come across some obscure cultural artifact — an unknown indie band, organic skate sneakers or wireless headphones from Finland — you will want to erupt with ecstatic enthusiasm. This will highlight the importance of your cultural discovery, the...

The Exchange.008 | Where I'm From
samberesford:
This week’s edition of The Exchange bands together songs from our cohort’s respective hometowns. Or home-metropolitan areas. Or at least their home-states, I would hope.
