Not being condescending but you just wouldn’t understand the pleasure of reading on an e-ink display till you’ve tried it. Its poles apart from a tablet. I’ve got an Android tablet and an iPad but my Kindles are what i reach out to when i need to read long form content.

I think there’s pretty strong consensus that she’s great.

Very 80's. Very poppy. I don’t hate it.

I don’t care what anyone says, I like her

James Blunt, unlike the band Smashmouth, is endearingly lovely about people talking crap about his music on Twitter.

Nobody needs to bring their A-game to fuck with a woman who puts jade up her vagina. You don’t even have to bring your B-game to do that.

“Speaking and acting like a man”

Amandla Stenberg’s cover of Mac DeMarco’s “Let My Baby Stay” is everything. And it has subtle 90's Janet vibes.
