So the season 2 finale of #Peacemaker came out, and I still can't stop thinking about the big plot twist and how well it was built up.

Here are my thoughts on it!

One of my favorite recent moments in my content career is having luchablog compliment my work on an old, historic lucha match and mentioning that I added something new to the conversation around it.

It doesn't happen much these days, but people dissecting my poetry, short stories, and narrative-driven articles always gives me a giddy feeling.

Saw a clip of the GoD face paints.

Only Tama Tonga looks cool, everyone else looks like bootleg Deltarune characters.

Go sports.

It's really none of my business, but instead of creating a pointless alternative for the Super Bowl halftime, you could just do what most other people had, especially in the classic rock era:

Turn the channel. Play a game. Converse with your friends and loved ones.

I would like to take this moment to announce that I will no longer be wrestling for WWE.

I wasn't wrestling for them before, but I'm also no wrestling for them now.

That said, I do love the Ghostbusters franchise outside of that bizarre reboot that had more discourse around it than hype.

Corey Michaels @corey0michaels.bsky.social · 1d

Probably very late to this, but the trajectory of Peter Venkman and Dana Barrett in Ghostbusters is kinda weird.

Like one moment he's a creep and she's very uncomfortable and the next he's a normal, reserved dude and she's possessed.

By the end, they act like it's been built up to properly.

Folks and I got Paramount Plus for a good deal.

Immediately spent the first thirty minutes watching the "Tale of the Lonely Ghost" episode of Are You Afraid of the Dark? and it's every bit as good and cheesy as I remembered.

You're a zeeb if you disagree.

Update: $195/$500

October bills rolled over, but I'm not going to increase my goal amount due to this. Any and all help is welcome. I can only hope I can get enough tips at my server job to carry on, but your help is surely appreciated. 🤼🧶💕💸

I really hate doing this, but if you guys can help a girl out on her bills for this month, that would be swell, so I can actually afford food.

($0/$500)

A little #mutualaid never hurts since I've been struggling to survive all year, and I've hit a breaking point. 🤼

It's hard to put into words how important Daily's Place and AEW during the pandemic were to me as a fan, but Corey does a pretty good job!

I probably wouldn't be a fan today tbh
