My love for em dashes is as old as the hills and as mighty as my inability to make a transition between thoughts literally any other way and I will be damned if I let the clankers take that from me

Film you’ve seen more than six times. Hard mode: no Star [Wars nor Trek], LOTR, or Marvel.

Not bad. It’s been a very strange year for me on a personal level but it’s been a joy to be able to play video games and chat nonsense with pals 🧡

Going live on Twitch with the homie Robin to talk disability, gettin free, and break some mutual aid news! Join the chat or catch the VOD at twitch.tv/bdolanofficial

I’d just like my friends to play more Bithell games.
