I don’t think I’ve ever had a “Jesus, when did I get so Vancouver?” moment… whatever that might mean?

When you start going back far enough into the family tree that you land on the Camino Francés / some of those 23andMe stats start making sense 😳

Best animated movie of the year, I’m not even kidding (probably the only animated movie I’ll watch all year but SHHHHH 🤫)

When you've been ripping your hair out trying to solve a thing but then you remember that it's FICTION and that you can, quite literally, do ANYTHING.
