Hi everyone, I'm an ostensibly bright person, I even write an advice column on this here Toast, and yet I didn't realize until right now that Solo was Han's last name, like the kind of name he would pass on to his son (BEN SOLO??).

So I looked like I'd been hit by a truck for a couple days! That was how I felt anyway.

Personally, I'll never stop cheering Jane Eyre for turning down the oh-so-romantic St. John. Fuck that loveless, missionary shit, lady, yeah!
