That video was just...my god...

But how will it be about her if she doesn't comment? This was almost not about her. What a close call?

Perhaps when funding is transferred from corporate welfare back to public education and when theocratic zealots don’t control most of the educational textbook industry?

Joanna Newsom helped me through some rough shit a couple years back.

JENNY.

Allen thinking Spencer was Bobby is kinda hilarious. I spent a smooth 5 minute laughing at this.
