SPOILERS for the final two episodes of Our Flag Means Death, alongside general vaguel whole season spoilers. I’ve watched the entirety of Our Flag Means Death in the last week and I think it’s my new favourite show. What more could you want? …

Wholeheartedly relatable. As someone who frequently gets pelted with a wave of fatigue so significant that I can’t stand — I got you. Disclaimer. Not a doctor, just a spoonie. I have more chronic conditions than I can count. Take medical advice over my advice. It can be pretty damn…
