An old man said to me, “You don’t want a woman surgeon. Sometimes it takes man muscles!”
And thinking of my inner workings I have decided that all of my surgeons should be women.
@SmashBearPH A cyberpunk thriller called Go Back To California.
After the Governor of Idaho closes the state’s borders to outsiders, a new resident on a special visa discovers that ‘Free Idaho’ is a strange prison for the wealthy and sadistic.
