Happy Sci Fi November!!! It’s here!!! So apparently there was all this drama around Don’t Worry Darling - the movie Captain saw. Would you like to know more? Oh my gosh, I saw something so utterly and unbelievably ridiculous I have to share. I’m getting ready to drink one of the greatest coffees in the world right now… We’ll throw a dose of encouragement in for you today. Oh and someone very special may be making a surprise appearance today… 

Captain saw Black Adam and will give his recommendation on that. New music. We have an interesting Halloween origin. My cousins came through last week. Butterbeers, Zoa, and Caffeinatrix! By the way, go where you are celebrated. :) We ARE the show for multi passionates and people with a lot of curiosity and interests. Here to make your day… and life… SO MUCH better!

One thing I’m fascinated about is people. Psychology. The human psyche. Why people do what they do. What motivates and compels them. Etc. So we’re gonna nerd out on that!

I’m hanging out with Elijah Zupancic. We met through The Red Hat X Podcast. Elijah works with NGINX. He had mentioned his passion for so many different things, but particularly psychology, existential dilemmas, group dynamics, and more. I got excited since it’s something I, too, nerd out about.
