Chiitan has the best hat.

Followed overnight consecutively by "St. Louis Books" and "St. Louis Atheists", accounts which follow upwards of 91K other accounts. BEGONE, you single-issue block-tagging bastards claiming to be from St. Louis

I cannot stress enough how often I have said to my GP, the sertraline works great, I want to be on it forever, please do not ever take the stuff away from me because the effects are *cumulative over the long term*, I like maintaining this baseline calm I never thought possible. (And my GP agrees.)
