After a run-in with a certain Conservative Inc. …

I have some thoughts. — I started posting on this platform back in May 2021. I had no real plan when I opened this account; I was primarily working from home and bored as hell, so I decided to start writing to help fill in the gaps. Thus, one Saturday morning, I banged out an…

Sorry, I just don’t. — Although actress Candace Cameron Bure’s biggest claim to fame is her portrayal of the no-nonsense DJ Tanner on Full House (reprised later on Fuller House), until recently, she was a frequent face in Hallmark Channel Christmas movies.
