A Note on Star Wars

Re: a Discord comment on how Ahsoka wasn’t in much of her self-titled. I think that’s another bit of … I don’t want to call it controversy – because no one has specifically called this out – from recent Star Wars shows. Like, Ahsoka. Awesome, can’t wait! But, also, really, the show is trying to … Read more

Trade Offs and the Audience

 I was thinking today about how hungry I am this morning. A little more than usual. It’s something I would text Mandi about – I yearn for an audience, and she’s captive! :: evil laugh :: But, then I decided not to because she’s trying to rest and not be bothered with a migraine today. … Read more
