Popsicles? Damn, It’s Gonna Be a Long, Hot Summer

May 24, 2025 | Poetry, Writing

I’m a woman. A man had to explain these “rules” to me. I think they’re silly, but according to recent headlines, they’re a real thing. Most of the women I know would be satisfied with cleanliness and kindness. But the one about milkshakes? Deadly serious, guys – leave all the chocolate malts to us women!

The straw is pink, guys. Can’t touch this.

Books, milkshake with a pink straw, bamboo in a glass jar with stones.
