I'm watching How to Get Away With Murder, having finished Scandal. The fantasy of these shows isn't that they portray Black women as powerful and competent, but that the people around these women would do anything for them. Unending loyalty and support. Near worship. Ride or (literally) die! Unreal!

Text reads:
ANNOUNCING AUGUR SOCIETY'S FIRST NOVELLA
CREST by A.D. Sui
After more than a decade no-contact, two former friends keep their promise from undergrad and meet up to hike the Pacific Crest Trail together.
But urban legends haunt the trails; secrets hang between them; and an eerie otherside pulls at them both, threatening to keep them from ever going home.
CREST weaves a story about complex friendships, love, and regret, told as an atmospheric contemporary fantasy travelogue by the Nebula-winning author of The Dragonfly Gambit (Neon Hemlock).
Coming Fall 2027

Believe it or not, the first Mo*Con was in 2006 making this year its 20th Anniversary! We can’t let that achievement go uncelebrated, so we’re bringing back some old friends and welcoming some new ones! Mo*Con 2026 runs April 30th (coincidentally my birthday) through May 2nd.

Something inside me told me to wait until at least a few episodes were out, because I had a feeling they were gonna do this. I did not listen and now must suffer a week! (I will not learn my lesson.)
My review of S2 E1 of The Pitt is when the credits rolled after that cliffhanger I threw up my hands and shouted WHAT THE FUCK (complimentary).
