If you have not yet done so, do catch #SpaceSweepe If you have not yet done so, do catch #SpaceSweepers on Netflix! ❤ It's a sci-fi movie about a ragtag bunch of space debris cleaners who discover a genetically-altered child (believed to be deadly) during one of their cleaning sprees. Barely scraping by (because in 2092, Earth has gone to shit BUT CAPITALISM STILL EXISTS!), they decide to give the child up for a handsome amount of cash, but quickly realize the exchange isn't gonna be that easy. Not with emotional connections being forged and all life on Earth threatened.

Starts off a bit slow but escalates pretty quickly! The film is campy, fun, and emotional in parts (tissues needed by crybabies like me!), and it's just an amazing ride altogether. Bonus points for cast diversity and a witty nod to trans representation. Gotta give props to my boy Joongki for signing up for this film! Welcome back, Song!!! ❤
Saturday morning snapshot, as I was headed for a d Saturday morning snapshot, as I was headed for a dental appointment. I miss being able to walk around freely, without the need for masks and shields, and without the fear of catching the virus just for being outside. It's been almost a year of not being able to see friends and family (because I do not have the confidence to eat out and I definitely do not want to endanger others by inviting them to meet me somewhere for coffee or a meal), and I really REALLY want this to be over soon. 🥺
