Just in case you forgot how beautiful Ming is, here’s a picture of him in bed. He was sleeping good, and his armpit is nice.

“Is it ok with you, if your chakras are cleansed while we’re sleeping?” I asked Ming. Yes, I’m into consent. We were going to bed.

When I’m scared, that’s the only… Read More »
