Unintentional Irony
Irony: it’s everywhere we look. Except when we’re actually looking for it. Which is rather ironic, actually. Humans are the most ironic creatures on earth–and probably in the rest of the universe, for that matter–both intentionally and unintentionally. As Deteriorata, … Continue reading

My Biggest Hits of 2022

Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss!
