Well, the world’s in pretty terrible shape, isn’t it? As if living through a generation-defining pandemic wasn’t enough we’ve also gotten the joy of watching America become more open about it becoming a fascist police state as protests around the country are turned into nightmares. And, it’s […]
In the face of all the madness and uncertainty that’s currently making up the modern world, I have found myself leaning into a sort of comfort food mode, deciding to read and watch things that are familiar, and that can kind of help me escape from […]
