Stories by A.F. Oehmke
The internet was sad, but also hella funny this week.
I really liked the internet this week.
The history we overlook, anti-Asian racism, the problem of perception, “Disney's Disembodied Black Characters,” operating on a polar bear, the greatest character actors today, the Suez Canal, the COVID-19 vaccines interviewing for a job, Annie’s mac and cheese, and Lil Nas X giving Satan a lapdance.
The internet was a lot, but it interesting this week.
