Discovered there are full episodes of Project Runway on YouTube so I watched the season 6 premiere. The pearl-clutching over a designer sending a sheer dress down the runway for a red carpet look is very funny considering you see celebs in sheer dresses all the time now 😂

Think I’m going the DNF the audiobook of Careless People. Not that the book is bad, but everyone is awful and I don’t think I want to spend 10 more hours of my life on awfulness.

I’m watching “The Two Popes” and I find it funny there’s so much ceremony to the process but the Cardinals use regular clicky pens to write their votes. Does “Conclave” have clicky pens?

I'm not going to stop saying this. We need to stop calling it "deporting." It may not always be fair or humane, but deportation has a process. And it means you're sent back to where you came from. These people are being trafficked and sold to slave prisons. Not deported.
