    @boyter @anshumalis I know. I see it all over social media. Six months ago ago Germany was being hailed as one of the countries handling it best. 😕

    In a fit of crafting pique, I ordered 300 black buttons on Amazon the other day and then had a minor freakout before they arrived, paranoid that I wouldn’t have storage for what I envisioned to be a HUGE amount of buttons.

    Definitely Buffy, Veronica Mars… and I’m gonna go with Gossip Girl for pure entertainment value. (Can I move Pacey to one of the other shows??) @JennaGuillaume https://t.co/waM9C9JEOT


    @JennaGuillaume My husband and I have now spent 15 minutes arguing over this. Highlight of my day.


    @chrisgander Hey, not arguing that the fanvids and fanfics aren’t good! But the actual show… garbage.


    @chrisgander Also, Rodd just saw me watching that and rolled his eyes, and I had to explain that a GROWN-ASS MAN WITH CHILDREN sent it to me.
