And that’s saying a lot, given that the genre is not prone to plausibility. #telenovelas

Goddamnit, I completed the Portuguese course on Duolingo, and this app usually throws me fireworks over every gamified accomplishment of over-engagement. All I can do is show this screenshot of the daily refresher screen to prove it. Show me some love, you stupid owl! #duolingo

Had to give it a try. It tastes vaguely like skyline. Someone who has never had skyline would say, “oh…cinnamon-flavored ice cream with weird bits of cracker in it.”
