Our tropes are inescapable
Added 2022-01-03 16:14:25 +0000 UTCHappy new year, Jackals! Hope you enter 2022 relaxed, merry, and with a hankering for hot centaurs. I blissfully did not wallow in terrible movies or books for the final week of the year, but even with that intentional break, I found myself encountering... yep, long fingers, in a book about baseball pitching. At least it kind of makes sense there.
New episode coming Friday!
