Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Okay. That was hilarious.
Also, I dont know if this goes in Press, since I'm xposting like a muthafucka.
Um. Excuse me while I xpost this...
Apparently, my book is available for preorder at Walmart and Books-a-million.
Which is odd, because I'm still editing it.
Um. I wrote a book. And it's for sale. At Walmart.
I need to go have a heart attack.

Dude. You can totally put it in Press, even if you're x-posty. This is Press worthy. Congratulations!
