Sam Connour | Lo Sy Lo @samconnour.bsky.social · 26/06/202590% of the time, when someone asks someone else out on a date on a tv show or movie, they hang up before discussing the when/where and this annoys me 100% of the time 020
Sam Connour | Lo Sy Lo @samconnour.bsky.social · 20/06/2025Eavesdropping on a first date and they just started talking about their dads. I think it was nervous small talk. (At 19, your family has been almost your entire world—so an obvious default.) But it was so sweet and I thought about how much their dads would probably love to be eavesdropping with me. 010

But today marks 10 yrs of living after that—stepping out into a terrifying new world where everything, save the grace of God, had changed. No situation, relationship, or practicality was untouched. Feeling grateful to still be here. 190
Sam Connour | Lo Sy Lo @samconnour.bsky.social · 05/01/2025I can’t stop reading or watching sci-fi. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? It must mean something. The only other genre possibily luring me away from sci-fi right now is classical mythology. 050
