Death By Consumption 5/13/25 - 5/19/25 I guess I should mention up front that it is my birthday today, which always makes me feel like a child when I have to acknowledge it. I'm the princess today! Treat me as such. Anyway, I'

#52: I was in the presence of Andrew Scott

Death By Consumption 4/29/25 - 5/5/25 Well well well, if it isn't 1 year of Death By Consumption. A whole year of consuming things, and so far I haven't died! I started this as a thing I just wanted to do for

#45: Am I dumb or is Severance dumb?

Death By Consumption 3/11/25 - 3/17/25 I don't think we should be allowed to have such beautiful weather when such horrible shit is happening all the time. It's real "Springtime for Hitler" vibes right now. Walking around the city, feeling
