Robin Williams rip 💔

WE LIVE IN A SOCIETY

Quebec cancelled the arts and PE after the COVID shut down??!

Setting stricter time limits on IG every time I open this book now (hyperbole, but I have shortened it twice since starting this book)

“Women can, it turns out, deliver babies without their feet in stirrups and even without reclining in a narrow metal contraption. ‘Try taking a shit while lying down and your legs in the air,’ a midwife suggested when I challenged her wisdom.”

Jordan Peterson diss oooohhhhh!

And when I read that part of JP’s rule book it made me scratch my head too. I’m glad someone smarter and with a more relevant degree has noticed the same thing!
