    Before I get started, I’m going to go ahead and post a trigger warning, as I’ll be discussing suicide, self-harm, and depression in this post. But feel free to enjoy the music below, if you so desire.

  • 30 Day Parks and Recreation Challenge, Day 19: Parks and Recreation’s Relevance

    Well, I certainly picked a fun topic for today, considering the giant landfill fire that is the current status of our country, but dammit, Parks and Rec is needed right now. It’s definitely a fantastical escape: people working together to make positive change in their town, despite the town’s lack of enthusiasm and occasional outright…

  • 30 Day Parks and Recreation Challenge, Day 18: Something that Didn’t Happen I Wish Did

    Oooh, before I start, happy birthday to my baby sister, Stefers the Great, who turns 30ish today! Also it is the first day of my new jorb, so I’m going to be a nervous wreck all day! Yayyyy! Anyway … I think I probably say this every time, but today’s and yesterday’s challenge question are…

  • 30 Day Parks and Recreation Challenge, Day 17: Something that Happened I Wish Didn’t

    I understand that art is constantly evolving, and I can appreciate when an artist wants to part with their work to either try new things or simply take a break. But that doesn’t mean I have to like it. When I found out Rashida Jones and Rob Lowe were leaving Parks and Rec, I was…

  • 30 Day Parks and Recreation Challenge, Day 16: Favorite and Least Favorite Romances

    So I looked at my calendar and realized that I had completely omitted “Favorite Ben Moment,” which is why I’m combining Days 16 and 17. I mean, how could I have done that?? Anyway, I’m going to be pretty quick about this one because I have to be at work in about … oh, an…

  • 30 Day Parks and Recreation Challenge, Day 15: Least Favorite Episode

    There is only one episode that I skip over every time, and that is Season Two’s “Sister City.” I may be in the minority here, as I’ve found it on several favorites lists over the years, but I just don’t find it funny. Like … any of it. The plot is thin, and everybody just…

    Y’all. Y’ALL. This show is so good. Like, I can’t even put it into words better than that. I’m totally going to watch the first episode again right before the second one comes out, because I feel like there’s just so much I missed the first go-round, but yeah, this is 100% what I was…

  • 30 Day Parks and Recreation Challenge, Day 14: Favorite Episode

    There is so much I love about Season Six’s finale, “Moving Up,” that it’s actually harder to list them all than it was to pick it as my favorite episode. I’m actually sitting here on my bed and can (channeling my inner Chris Traeger) literally come up with no words to explain why it’s my…

  • 30 Day Parks and Recreation Challenge, Day 13: Favorite Season Seven Episode

    It’s always sad to see a show you love go off the air, even in an age of streaming, and when I found out that Parks and Rec would be ending after seven seasons, I went through mad withdrawal, even before it ended. I frantically watched all of my favorite episodes and both eagerly and…

  • 30 Day Parks and Recreation Challenge, Day 12: Favorite Season Six Episode

    I cant believe we’re almost halfway through the month. I guess time really flies when the country is a giant shit hole? Honestly, I think that’s why Parks and Recreation constantly draws me in: the people in the show are genuinely good people who want to do good things and work tirelessly to make sure that those…
