A floating hunk of land in the EXIT FEST website very similar to my Displosable thing, though more frightening than silly…
uncontacted amazon tribe
Wow. So, while I nurture my sunburn from 2 hours of tennis and then 3 hours of WOOOOOOOOOOOOD WOOOORKINGGG in the backyard*, using my landlord’s wireless with a slightly off tummy, people with no contact with the external world and covered entirely in body dye, are living in grass huts and pointing their bow and [...]

keys for underground
