Ohy god it took me a full minute to realize that I wasn’t looking at three stylized vaginas.

To be fair, I have seen several neolithic Venus figurines lately.

Holy shit. How does that have a positive value? Still, Pittsburgh… hm…

Has that “absentee owner” law (or whatever the name is) taken effect yet? Do you think it will help?
