You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

How is it only in the last month or so that I'm discovering Hannah Gadsby? ("Discovering" like Columbus discovered America - she's been around for a good decade or something). She's got the most amazing spicy brains and she's cute as hell. Gotta find me a friend willing to lend me a Netflix password so I can see "Nanette". Seriously, she's awesome, how am I only just now finding this bandwagon to hop on to?

Oh! I get to be all "I liked her before it was cool"! Biyi and I saw her stand-up show at the Melbourne Comedy Festival a decade ago or so. She was just in a meeting room at Melbourne City Hall. (The topic was her experience walking across England, as in from the Irish to the North Sea.) One thing I missed out on was that she used to do walking tours of the National Gallery here. (She has a degree in Art History.)

Alas, I don't have Netflix, so I haven't seen Nanette yet either.

Our wings are not tired.

I love JtV so so so so much.

It is the Latino version of Soap, which I also loved. It's awesome.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I always thought of it as a Latina Gilmore Girls.

Ah, I didn't watch Gilmore Girls so I didn't get a connection there.

Yeah, she's got some great stuff on YouTube showing off her Spicy Art Brain.

The three generations of Villanueva women reminded me a lot of the three generations of Gilmores.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I can see that. The Villanuevas are a lot more apt to actually work through their issues than the Gilmores though.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

I am watching Schitt's Creek (Plei's fault!) and "Get through the first season, I promise it is worth it!" is a big ask, but it pays off, OMG. I am now completely fannish over it, to the point that I watched an episode of Hot Ones just because Dan Levy was the guest.

(Is it general knowledge that he and Noah Reid had downed a bottle of prosecco between them before recording David's lipsync? "More people should get tipsy at lunch!")

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

It's definitely the story that gets told about that scene. That and the song being the extended version and Dan not being prepared.

Hahaha, I didn't know that but I don't know anything

That show, man. The first few episodes were so hard to watch but once it got its hooks in me...
