Hey Angourie can I hold hug you and sit on your laps and skinship sex❤️?

World War 2 history, Ancient history, Hard Sci-fi, warfare, Science, Physics, Philosophy are points of interest for me. Also Angourie’s “The Community Library”. On the surface these things do not seem to mix, but here I am, having listened to almost half her podcasts.
It’s the insight, the unpacking, critical thinking, and the sheer enjoyment of learning something new and sharing it. That ties me to “The Community Library” in unexpected ways.
