I've been following marisakabas.bsky.social since I quit looking at the bird site. Yesterday, she 1000% proved she's the real deal. Annual subscription is only $80. Worth it. Absolutely worth it.

I think I owe George Lucas an apology. When I first heard this line, I chortled at how melodramatic and eye-rollingly cliche it was. Fast forward a couple of decades, and the only thing he got wrong was leaving out an obscure reference to "recess appointments."
