Oh no I have opinions about Star Wars again.

The vibes of this trailer didn’t work for me but the Tony Gilroy corner of the galaxy is still my favorite.
One of the worst music choices for a trailer that i've seen.

Still there Day 1.

On a road trip with my husband…

H: What’s in North Bend?

Me: The gas station where Sandra Bullock got abducted in The Vanishing.

H: I meant like a Starbucks.

Does BlueSky have sports skeets because I need people who also care about Dame asking for a trade. 😭

Today in dumb anxiety stories: Seriously considering learning how to do my own hair so I don’t have to text message the woman who used to do my hair before covid. 🙃

My 70-year-old mom is using the melty face emoji properly in text messages and I’ve never been so proud.

Wait, are we all posting photos of our dogs for reasons, or just because dogs are awesome?

You know how your phone does those automatic ‘on this day’ memories? I have no idea what was happening here. 😆

I feel like the trends go by much faster here. I’ve been skeeting for maybe 48 hours and I’ve already missed at least three.
