5.0

This is SO dense and so full of fascinating leftist political discourse from the 80s, 90s, and 00s but it’s also a soap opera about dykes who can’t stop cheating on each other. Really great if you need a reminder that commie lesbians have always been arguing over the same topics (even before “chronically online” was a thing you could be!)
