My Cancer Has Returned, So Here Is Some Advice.
I just want the pandemic over so I can do things before I am either in a wheelchair or develop neurological issues. Getting treated in a pandemic at a glossy white hospital with new age music playing, and people wearing masks, gives it all dystopian science fiction vibes.
Sunset Trip book party at Rough Trade East.
