Toxic Content
Do you watch crappy tv. Then have crappy dreams? Or rather I should write. Do you watch violent, fucked up tv and then have psychotic dreams? I used to love horror films. Before I lost the plot. Now if I watch something with murder, violence etc, my dreams echo the f’d up content. We’ve been …

Who the hell is Dotty Minnie?
