Sophie Ellis-Bextor dropping a dance club bop about how the most precious gift is just time with the people you love, on an album called "PERIMENOPOP"???? I would die for her. I was there when "Murder On the Dance Floor" was first unleashed and she's been my queen ever since

Origin stories *in general* are often not great. Oh, you say you had a traumatic childhood and it continues to affect your hero's journey? You don't say. Never would have guessed. Please unfurl it in excruciating detail so my smol brain will understand.

My baby's vaccine story: I had the nurses give her all the shots. Each time, she squawked for about 10-20 seconds. Then she usually took a good nap. Ten years later and no measles so far. 10/10 would recommend.
