I just finished @SchittsCreek for the first time ever. As well as the Farewell episode. I do have to say, a massive reason for my coming out was in part thanks to @danjlevy and this show. Thank you for making this masterpiece #intothewinenotthelabel

A thread for #NationalComingOutDay For a long time I’ve known that I wasn’t straight. But because of certain very personal reasons, I always rejected that side of me. Earlier this year I finally understood that I’m bi/pan (still trying to figure that one out) but...

Martha didn’t create any champions, she had constant “pick of the litter” at every turn. They were going to be champions regardless because they were amazing at what they did, not because of her. Take a sit bro. Don’t double down on a shitty take

I disagree. I don’t think it’s a power move at all. I think it simply solidified just how big of a coward he really was his whole life. He decided the consequences were too big for him. In my opinion, the survivors have always been stronger. This proves it.
