Primate posting by a big fat genderqueer orangutan (he/it). TME. You call me Orang ("Papa Orang" if you're comfy with that). Don't like monke? Don't follow. WARNING: suggestive content aimed at adult monkey may be posted occasionally. Tagged with #funky business. (If you see me referring to an ape as a monkey, Yes I Know. "Monkey" is just funnier to say than "ape" or "primate.")
