Tyranny, government, and business
Don’t challenge the brilliance of the “small newspaper” post. Tyranny is such a powerful concept. Six people reblogged my last “small newspaper” post and added commentary.

– a girl, telling me one of the best compliments I’ve ever heard (via jakoblodwick) and that’s without even trying!
Back.
