The Mandalorian S2E2 is the best so far because:

—more Amy Sedaris
—lots of closeups of Baby Yoda & Baby Yoda doing things
—Frog lady!!!! hopping!!!
—spider eggs & giant spider

Also, this episode is further proof that The Mandalorian is FURRY FICTION.

Anyone disappointed Trump lost can fucking go to hell.

One of the best things about Gilmore Girls is that it normalizes the possibility of being a fantastic mother while not cooking AT ALL or even knowing how.

I know how to cook. I can cook. But most of the time, I don’t want to. It’s easier, quicker, and more fun to order out.
