“An uncredited study she read once said, quote, “Girls become really stupid in science after they get their period, so you’d better learn as much as possible before that happens.” I had such anxiety about this “clearly proven” biological fact that I was studying calculus by the age of twelve. When I finally got my period, I cried, not because I was growing up, but because I had just learned derivatives and really enjoyed doing them. I was scared that estrogen would wipe the ability to do them from my brain.”

“America seems filled with violent people who like causing people pain but hate when those people tell them that pain hurts.”

“We should be going in there with a thousand naked warriors who fight like wet cats with dodgy bowls.”
