Our wings are not tired.

Skimmed the article, because long. Sniff, I enjoyed The Woman in the Window quite a lot! That is distressing. Sitting here shaking my head at the extent of wrongness there.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Of all the details (SO MANY DETAILS) in that whole fuckety-upety thing, the completely made up second doctorate before age 30 in Munchhausen studies was the most.
