Samurai Jack is back!!!!
Since we missed the boat on buying IRL Stars Hollow a few years back, we’ll be saving up all our cash to purchase the Gray Gardens house and living our best crone lives.
One of the most disappointing pieces of news of our time: Mr. Darcy not nearly as handsome as we imagined he’d be.

That’s not the way it works, either.
On supporting immigrant colleagues through this abysmal hellscape we live in now.
