Things you do not know about me, or about the rechingada madre of someone you know, that is to say, a puta que pariu.

You do not know how many of our brilliant proposals have been turned down this week, for reasons having to do with unrelieved ignorance. You do not know that my student’s husband is a waiter. You do not know that the technology for our class has broken down. You do not know that the way … More Things you do not know about me, or about the rechingada madre of someone you know, that is to say, a puta que pariu.

On April 19, the mood will shift from the shoot-first-and-ask-questions-later mentality of Aries to calm, cool and collected Taurus.

I am sorry, everyone, but preparing class is one of the best things you can do and it saves time. I’ve often tried not to, being told that every minute spent on it is a minute I could be writing, but it is so exhausting and it takes so much energy to just walk on … More Against the party line.
