Tuesday trio 📖💿🎥 RADIOACTIVITY
Hey y’all,

Books, music, movies. (I didn’t remember the “Cafe” part. Probably because I didn’t drink coffee back then!) Those are still the art forms I care the most about — the ones you used to be able to go out and hold in your hands for around $20.1
I thought it’d be fun to start a new series where we take an imaginary visit to Borders and I select one favorite book, album, and movie based on a theme.
Today’s theme: Radioactivity.
