Well done, @dakotabrown.bsky.social @ryancody.bsky.social and @micahmyers.bsky.social!

A rising tide lifts all boats. If someone reads a vampire blood bank heist story and loves it, they’ll want more. And then they’ll pick up YOUR vampire blood bank heist story.
Also, can someone please write a vampire blood bank heist story?

The parental controls on my daughter’s watch require us to prove we’re adults by answering the equation 16x8.

We will not be accessing any parental functions under my care.

SO good. I laugh out loud AND cry at least once per episode.

“Shrinking” continues to be just the best show in the world.
