grateful for Scott Thompson's cameo as a hedonistic alien ambassador for taking the edge off a Voyager episode that otherwise hit a bit too close to home rn 🥲

I'm at Vancouver Airport where CUPE's Air Canada Component is picketing.

I'm discovering that I hid a bunch of (apparently caseless?) CDs and DVDs in other cases, and by far the most random one to fall out unexpectedly is a Star Wars: A New Hope DVD in a dd/mm/yyyy album
