If the shoe fits…
Are…you asking if I’d fuck a shoe?
I’ve been called “a giant faggot” but I’m medium at most. ♥️

Are you asking if I would fuck a Russian? 🤨
I assume you’re speaking in jest?
You know what they say about assuming.
On the contrary, I just reject the idea that what you buy from who is leading to any material improvement in society. I think there are much better ways to push for positive change.
