      She is so perfect for this special (finally, a fully religious-trauma edition; my fav of her jokes) having been deep in the realm. She can toe the line of respect but hold the mirror. Good good good.

      No.
      
      NOPE. 
      
      Taylor Tomlinson's latest special did NOT drop right under my nose.
      
      Sigh. It somehow did, but I welcome these pop-up surprises.

      are there any alt appviews that don’t do the cursed nuclear block behavior?

      i also don’t like that it works this way, fwiw. but yeah that’s how it works here. it’s an appview choice so maybe some alternative ones don’t do this? i haven’t checked.
