oh man that's cold

necessary and deserved, but cold

I mean if it were so fucking easy to get a job I wouldn't have been trying to find one for going on five months

There used to be a local crepe restaurant that served an amazing BATS crepe: bacon, avocado, tomato, and .... I can't remember what the S stood for and the restaurant is no more, but it was the best

That's kind of you to offer! A friend has invited over to watch it with them, we just have to fix a time

On a related note... when I was beta-reading a story set in late 70s/early 80s NYC, I thought verisimilitude was of vital importance, so I did a fuckton of fact-checking! (I mean, the Jenkins school of history is fine when we're putting crocs on C18 pirates, but pre-Giuliani era NYC is in my blood.)

Agreed .. if I had $1 for every post I've read saying how much they enjoyed Samba's performance in the pilot episode of Pluribus, I could subscribe to Apple TV and watch it for myself, and then have enough left over to take the cooking class

"It's Black Friday all month long at Home Dep--"

NO IT'S NOT FUCK OFF

and I wish I could enjoy Taming of the Shrew because it's got some of the most clever wordplay and snappiest dialogue but I cannot get past the domestic abuse

and yes I KNOW Merchant of Venice is lousy with anti-semitism but that's kind of the point, and I love seeing how modern productions reinterpret and reframe the stereotypes

A few years ago the Chesapeake Shakespeare Co. did a 70s punk rock take on Titus that was just SO MUCH FUN. Leather and plaid and safety pins and so much bondage gear!

I guess I'm not upset by this, because so much creative media I would like to enjoy is behind paywalls (e.g. Patreon) and so many zines and other goodies are made available only with proof of chartiable donations, and I have accepted that these perks are not within my budget.
