Hired!
This article, this story sounds like something I read about maybe two years ago. It’s still a good story, if so.

Ohhhh dem thighs!
Reminds me of the tv series “Yellowstone”.
Well, it is honest work.

Better beautiful and working in a trade than homely, on a picket line, with a lesbian history degree

Not Guilty!
Well, yeah, she’s okay looking I guess.

I’m only here to read the article.
STRONG woman! Carry much water, much wood, clean many hides, bear many strong children.
Best looking mud job evah!
