Jock Smut Prince Harry actually doesn’t know her It’s been almost two weeks since Just Andrew and Buckingham Palace announced that he can keep his titles but has agreed not to use them which… is that kinda like owning a car but promising not to drive it?

Maple Leaf KP + JT: A Corn and Cheese Birthday Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau are playing out basically like fanfic at this point – and I’m not mad at it, LOL.

Jock Smut JB is not at home The World Series starts tonight as the Toronto Blue Jays, with the better record, are hosting game one against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Jock Smut Intro for October 22, 2025 Dear Gossips, The jokes about Drake and Kendrick Lamar started the minute the Jays won game 7 of the ALCS on Monday night.

Maple Leaf KP & JT: A Cheese Corn Autumn The last time we checked in on Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau, it was late July/beginning of August during the celebrity summer of romance, and these two came out of nowhere to go on a date in Montreal.

Maple Leaf Intro for October 14, 2025 Dear Gossips, It was Thanksgiving here in Canada yesterday and over in New York, two Canadians were on the red carpet at the premiere of Good Fortune: Keanu Reeves and Sandra Oh.
