I wrote a review of Hanna Gadsby's Nanette. In the spirit of the original piece, it started as a review and morphed into an examination of humor and rape culture and my personal history with both.

CW: Reference to rape culture and it's themes including childhood sexual assault although no specifics, just acknowledgement that it exists.

The sun is out in Portland and people are loosing their God damned minds.

I almost jumped the counter at the post office today and no regrets.

a. It's like Fanfic:The TV Show. All the characters are completely 1-dimensional, the dialog is so wooden it could fund Oregon's timber industry.
b. Every main character is supposed to be an adult but looks and sounds like 3 toddlers in a big coat.
c. It's the perfect balance of predictable, inane and repetitive that I can actually get writing done while it's going on in the background.
