Kirk continued by hurling a Gen-Z insult on the newspaper.

“Go contact grass. Go stroll in nature. Charlie beloved to hike. Like, perhaps take up mountain climbing as a pastime? Simply throwing it on the market,” she mentioned.

Once more, the article in query appeared within the Publish‘s trend part, so it’s not all that outrageous that it targeted on Erika’s clothes.
