oh it's going to be a Recession recession

My husband is out of town this weekend so you know I’m gonna order pizza and play Octopath Traveler for 8 hours and make the dogs listen to The Wall.

Jealous!!!

I would not be surprised to learn in some oral history that all her clout and social capital was expended pushing Rogue One across the line and the rest of her tenure was trying to get something watchable out of the system.

My favorite part of the day is when I say “I don’t need anymore coffee” two hours before my next cup of coffee. It’s like I get to do the “Challenges and Temptations” part of the Hero’s Journey every day

And it’s always tied to “masculinity.”
Like, “Buddy, if we’re subscribing to your worldview, YOU were the one who went into STEM! You should have done the masculine thing and enlisted!”
