The Week 8/11–8/17

A guide for artsluts

So the supermoon happened. If you’re like us you may have been seen in the corner of a party chanting to the gods, bought way too many croptops at a thrift store and worked through two whole bottles of poppers. Anyway we’ve had some visions and we can literally kinda declare that life is really amazing right now.
