The Year in Yearning

What should I watch over the break? (+, a face reveal)

FACE REVEAL!!!!! [Credit: Abi Lieff]

We’re here today, bravely showing our faces, so you can see just how much you mean to us.

Just look at those two. Don’t their expressions scream: WE LOVE YOU (and also, maybe, “can we pleeeeease borrow the car today?”). We are so grateful that you’ve invited us into your inbox every week for the past four months. We hope that receiving our reviews has been a nice reprieve from breaking news updates and various politicians telling you how disappointed they are by your lack of donations. 

We’re taking this week to rest, recharge, reheat leftovers, etc. But if you’re looking for something to watch over the holiday break, take a look back through the archives with us to see if there’s something you may have missed.
