A few other fun facts about Dana
🎵 There is a showtune or Crazy Ex Girlfriend song running through her head at least 80% of the time.
🧵 She is slowing-but-surely teaching herself how to sew (so far she’s mastered animal hats, but little else). Tips welcome, really.
💌 She has a half-assed-but-nonetheless-cherished stamp collection.
