Mellinda Hensley @mellindak.bsky.social · 18/07/2025: I love late-night TV. It’s a fun, crazy space — the spine that binds the book of my creative life together. I remember the thrill of staying up with my Mom to see The Late Show. It felt like I was watching something I shouldn’t be. It felt like New Years every night. 🧵 100
