contemplation of our posthumanity, or barely, it's evident this zience is
not truckdriver oriented & all race together, i have not so much occasion to

zolution for keeping their tacky menage a trois & under iron lung if
necessary

well it'z highly probable in the long human history the human awareness of
relationship beetween zex und reproduction is relatively recent, it'z
patriarchy und metalurgie und white netart that give the idea to handcuff
