Elon has given you a blue checkmark against your wishes. How do you retaliate?
Here's a joke that I just made up:
Abraham Lincoln: "Let every American, in every state, practice the golden rule of treating others as he would have others treat him."

Please do not fear for me. I have no fear myself. The old monsters are gone. The old curses have echoed to silence. And if my immortal soul is lost to me, something yet remains. I remain..

Do you believe there is a demimonde? A half world between what we know and what we fear? A place in the shadows, rarely seen but deeply felt. Do you believe that?

"We flatter our men with our pain. We bow before them. We make ourselves dolls for their amusement. We lose our dignity in corsets and high shoes and gossip and the slavery of marriage. And our reward for this service? The back of the hand, the face turned to the pillow, the bloody, aching cunt as you force us onto your beds to take your fat, heaving bodies!"

Jessica Barden first wore this incredible striped gown by Gabriella Pescucci as Justine in the 2016 episode of Penny Dreadful, entitled No Beast So Fierce. The costume appeared a second time, paired with a different belt, in 2023 on Matilda De Angelis as Lidia Poët in The Law According to Lidia Poët.
