Narratively having Ever Given getting stuck in 2021 to set up Hormuz in 2026 is great foreshadowing.

So an odd thing here is that if you say "an unidentified man dressed in a Batman costume" your point is to communicate "it is not really Batman" but the problem is that the real Batman, within the fiction of the comic book "Batman", is also, literally, an unidentified man dressed in a Batman costume

I just woke up from a nap and somehow while I was asleep, everyone on the bus has figured out we are not going to the right place

Shortly after moving into my first house, I punched myself in the face trying to start a lawn mower left handed, much to the amusement of my new neighbors.

You tell your boyfriend if he says he’s Elect That I’m a Unitarian and I ain’t fucking scared of him

Doing this challenge called “January” where I try to make it through the whole month of January

Hello, I’m a massive blood clot from thoracic outlet syndrome and a doctor who didn’t feel like running more tests.
