It’s final finals day. May the Queen and Goddess of the Queers and femininity, Chappel Roan, see me through.

It should be illegal to charge for parking at medical appointments. Even more so when you have multiple appointments in multiple locations in the same day.

It should also be illegal for employers to charge employees for parking.

And why have 2 hour minimums? I hate it here.

Fun linguistics tidbit:

Mark Hamill signing his name Mar🐫 because in English /p, t, k/ sounds at the beginning of a stressed syllable are pronounced aspirated, ie with an extra breathy sound (the same sound that's h when it's by itself)

So Mark Hamill is pronounced the same as Mar Camel

I’m thinking of writing a book. I’ve been jotting down some ideas. It’ll probably never come to light, but I’m thinking about it.
