No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

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

That is the problem

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

There's never enough of what you want to see and too much of what you don't.

Sometimes there is too much of what I do want to see and not enough time and energy to see it

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I made a list of stuff to watch on the bike that runs between 20 and 30 minutes, and I just keep adding to it! (Gravity Falls, Phineas and Ferb, Derry Girls, Never Have I Ever, One Day at a Time, and probably about 5 or 6 more that I can't remember off the top of my head.)

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Have you tried Upload on Amazon Prime?

Not yet, but I'll add it to the list!

Now tagless for your comfort.

Oliver and I are OBSESSED with OFMD. I have already been down the pirate rabbit hole for a long time (I own A General History of the Pyrates and was reading about the Whyddah a while back). Stede Bonnet was real. Blackbeard was real. Calico Jack Rackham was real. Benjamin Hornigold was real. I'm FREAKING OUT.

Taika Watiti Hotness threw me for a loop but ALL the queer representation in a matter of fact manner makes it that much better.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Calico Jack Rackham was real.

And he was really associated with real women pirates Anne Bonny and Mary Reed!

So I expect they'll show up.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

I'm very much hoping for them in season 2 (gods willing)! Cash, I love that you and Oliver are so into it.

I may, uh, be writing OFMD fic. Anyone up for being a beta? I'm in no rush to post it and it's only about 2k words, so hopefully not a big time commitment...

I’d be happy to beta!

I actually looked up the transcripts from Stede Bonnet’s trial (it’s online).

My goal is to get to Nantucket and Cape Cod for the Whyddah and Whaling museums.

I loved Black Sails but OFMD is just as deep but with fun.
