how come you publicized tao’s contest but didn’t enter it yourself, traitor, nobody sent him a penny, it’s your fault
<3 tao
I guess you’re right. Maybe if we concentrated our energy less on talking about Tao Lin, we could direct it more on doing things like selling ads for shit we don’t like, and then give Tao a %.
Are you sure blueberries isn’t Tao Lin?
I’m not really sure of anything.
