I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that girls fart. What surprises me, though, is that my daughter farts like a boy. What I would consider a boy. At home, she’ll be doing something, and just fart. She won’t hold it in, sneak off to the bathroom, and discreetly wander back
I’m reading The Year Without Pants: WordPress.com and the Future of Work, and for some reason it’s helped me put into words something that I’d been having trouble expressing, about indie publishing.
