Reader Roll Call: Y’all Know Your Audience So Well, It Warms My Cold Black Heart.
Darlings! It’s Wednesday! And I spent way too much time just now trying to think of something Wednesday-clever that didn’t involve the term “hump day” because I have the sense of humor of a 15-year-old boy and I’d like to eventually look some of you in the eye again.
