Where Is The Thumbs Up Emoji On This Typewriter?

by Anne Kennedy | Oct 13, 2022 | Freedom of Speech, On the Radar

I’m basically living my best life now. Not to exaggerate or anything, but two fantastic things have happened to me this week. The first is that, for some reason, Matt was given an electric typewriter—I kid you not. And it has ink. So what you do is, you plug it in,...
