Actress. New Yorker. Cat Mom.
Love The Orville. Mostly stuff that makes me laugh.

In hindsight, there are a lot of people who owe the Passengers movie a big apology. People insisted ad nauseam that they’d never screw over another person no matter how lonely they got. Swore up one way and down the other that they’d never put their own sanity over another person’s life.

Jim made it a year in total isolation knowing he would die alone. Plenty of y’all didn’t even make it a month at six feet apart with Zoom calls.

In a moment of weakness and utter loneliness, Jim made a choice that affected just .02% of that ship’s compliment. Meanwhile some of y’all are just like “3% of people dying is acceptable if it means I can stop being mildly inconvenienced”.

So yeah, people owe that movie an apology. It was a good movie and an even better sci-fi movie for the questions it posed about human nature that turned out to be all too accurate.

Official Reveal!!!

It’s official! I can now show everyone what I’ve been working on for two years!!

The year is 1715. King George I sits on the throne of England. Jacobites threaten his rule in the north, while to the West another rebellion has just been quelled. In the Bahamas, another problem is brewing - pirates, gathered in large number, menacing trade and declaring themselves citizens of no nation. The empire stands upon the brink of disaster. Lieutenant Lawrence Brayden does not mean to be an agitator. His mission in the West Indies is simple - make contact with the pirates and determine whether they can be pacified with the age-old solution to piracy: pardons. It should be simple - right? Right. Except that on Lawrence’s side stand only his lovers, Thomas and Helena Arundel, and against him stands the might of Edward “Blackbeard” Teach and his Flying Crew - as does the powerful Earl of Camburn, father to Thomas and Lord Proprietor of the island of New Providence. Lawrence, Thomas, and Helena will need to withstand the might of both England and Nassau, find each other again, and above all - try not to die. 

Available for preorder now on Amazon! The official release date will be January 2nd, 2021 and the price is $4.99.

List of wild things in this video:

- The guy whose computer screen you can see at the start is looking up “what to do if a dog has rabies”

- The unbroken wall of hydroflasks in front of the teacher’s podium

- Good Mythical Morning poster

- Inexplicable “NO TALKING DURING RAZOR LOVE” sign

- The guy next to the videographer just has the letters “WBOEOADRS” in giant font on his computer screen

- The teacher knowing to pause for booing after he mentione Ashe County Middle School

- The kid that yells “I hate them!” enthusiastically

- A sign that says “NO FREAKING” with a picture of two stick figures having sex

- Hand-painted “educasion is overated” poster

- The fact that the class knows to say “standing by” when he tells them to stand by

- The woman literally waiting outside the door to hand over the dog

- The tenderness with which he handles the dog before he announces its imminent demise

- “DO YOUR BUCKING VOCAB”
