I had no idea who Poly Styrene was before watching and now I feel I know more than she'd want me to.
—— (55/100) ——
“I muse over the future and all it may bring. I open Pandora’s box of hope. I envision a time in the distant future where synthetics rule. The downside: humankind destroy the natural environment. The upside: burgers will be cruelty-free veggie rubber buns.”
