I used Letterboxd besties to find everyone with my same listed favorite movies. No one had the exact same, four or any of the same three. 🍿🦄
Had a great time at #smashingconf. Thanks to all the speakers and organizers and staff. Everyone was very kind and approachable and I learned a lot.

Got some doodling in today.

More like sand-bo-tage
I’m thinking of being from the 1970s.
There’s a billboard on the New Jersey turnpike that just says, “I got hurt in Jersey .com”. And you did. Don’t lie. You know you did .com

I just saw a man on the subway with a hand gun keychain ornament right next to a pikachu ornament. What a ven diagram.
Another old golden hour post.
