Rocky Horror tonite!
So C & I regularly forget about Rocky Horror, but luckily we frequently pass the theatre they perform at, and were reminded that tonite is their Halloween show!
I just purchased both of our tickets online. I kind of want to dress up, but am feeling entirely too lazy to do so. I might just throw on my Gryffindor tshirt over this thermal/under this hoodie … which has nothing to do with...

Grimm thoughts so far
I like the concept. And I get that this is the ‘intro’ episode, so it’s not going to be all that intricate yet.
But it’s not really grabbing me. Seriously, I find the complete lack of interesting any female characters of consequence boring.

Oh, hey, this is exactly what uterus-bearing people have been saying for years.
The UN recently issued a report that declares that countries that restrict access to either abortion or contraception are violating a...
