  1. heather i have been doing the same thing with enamel pins and it is such a joy! sadly there are not nearly enough stardew valley enamel pins though.

  2. It’s interesting to learn that Sarah Paulson is in fact wearing only 5 pounds of padding… I’ve probably worn leather jackets that were heavier than that.

  3. “While en route to Los Angeles, Tonya accidentally gets stranded in the suburbs of Los Angeles and becomes engulfed in a gritty world after being introduced to Mickey (Luke), a neo Nazi low-level meth dealer. But to both of their surprise, they begin falling in love.”

    Sounds a little out there but I’m watching it anyway

  4. They’ve gotta make Kristy gay this season, right? First episode is an adaptation of ‘Kristy and the Snobs’ and I just feel that her conflict with Shannon would be so perfect as enemies to friends to crushes! Kristy Thomas is gay and I know this IN MY BONES.
