there is literally no reason not to do this
i cannot believe your bottle lasted that long!!!
Had a fun and digressive gab about Haywoodβs Fantomina on @didntreadit.bsky.social ! Contains a hot take on All Fours, memories of teenage horniness, and a warning against teaching Tess of the Dβurbervilles during a pandemic
