Just finished Umbrella Academy. I agree that it's a fitting end but not entirely satisfying. I think I will consider it an AU ending.
Though honestly, I think I liked the versions of these characters from S1 better than any subsequent season.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Hm, I would need to rewatch the whole thing to decide that. Which I kinda want to do anyway. But I loved season 2 the most, I think? Which may or may not mean I prefer those versions of the characters. Hmm.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
IF became available on Amazon Prime. I was impressed. Very affecting.

I started watching Heartstopper - so sweet, I clearly need to make time to binge it all

Heartstopper is delightful!

And so bingeable.

Our wings are not tired.
The past month, and most of the summer, I have spent an extraordinary amount of time on distraction. NYT and WaPo puzzles, and lots of streaming. We're talking probably 3 hours a day or more on puzzles with either music videos or streaming tv in the background. This and filling a big chunk of time listening or reading my current books.
The latest 10-episode stream was Nobody Wants This on Netflix with Kristen Bell and Adam Brody. Checked all my boxes for easy on the brain entertainment. With a second season to come at some point. Woot! Two thumbs up.

I binged it so fast! It's so fucking good. Kristen Bell and Adam Brody have INSANE chemistry. (My favorite comment I read about the show — on Tumblr, of course — was "I haven’t shipped straight white people this hard in a long time." And it's true — I hadn't!) Also, I'm 110% obsessed with Morgan's (Joann's sister) hair. It's PERFECT.
I've also read a lot of criticism of stereotypes, particularly among the Jewish women, and while I obviously don't have that POV since I'm not Jewish, it sure did seem to me that they were riding those stereotypes kind of hard. I hope S2 is better about that.

I can't start my work day until I do a chunk of the NYT puzzles (Wordle, Mini Crossword, Letter Boxed [my current favorite], and Spelling Bee).

Wait, I have a subscription to WaPo but I did not know they had puzzles...

Mostly crossword, but also sudoku and some other puzzles.
