My personal favorite line from "Who Will Plow Her?" is, from the perspective of the goddess Inanna, "fill the holy butter churn for me" [with your yellow milk].
Fortunately, Sumerians loved to fuck and had plenty of hymns to gods and kings such as the hit balbale 'Who Will Plow Her?', with lines like:

"I'm young! Who's going to plow my wet pussy? *
I'm dignified! Who's going to park their ox here?"

* The radio edit was "sow my vulva, an irrigated field".

Ok mental health break, shall we? We offer you a floof as unimpressed as us. This is a fennec fox, Vulpes zerda, the smallest fox species. We chose this photo not only for the vibe, but to show their feet -- extra furry to avoid the scorch of desert sand in the Sahara, where they live. Enjoy!

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

We just want to say that we are in awe of all of you. You are the ones history will remember—a resistance rising against tyranny. From the moment Trump took office, laws have been broken left and right. We shouted from the rooftops, and it took relentless effort just to have our voices heard.

Thinking about what my grandparents would think if they saw what a shitshow this country has become. My grandma said Drump was very similar to Mussolini.....(this was back in 2016). I hope people wake the fuck up before it's too late.
