I worked at a movie theater for many years, so I have a handful:
1) sold Elliot Page a pretzel
2) gave Allison Brie directions to the nearest restroom
3) Edward Norton complained about the speaker system in his auditorium

The fact that all of this shit is exhausting by design, sadly, doesn't make it any less exhausting.

The horrors persist, but so do I. And therefore, another small Bluesky-themed, post-birthday book haul.

So what? Big deal.

Kinda embarrassing, but it took me five whole episodes to catch on to why a one-eyed, peg-legged droid, who has a ridiculous stereotypical accent, and is first mate on a friggin' pirate ship... Is named SM-33.
