I did not have Ronny Chieng being a huge fan of the Babysitter's Club on my bingo card, but I love it. As a fellow 80s kid, I loved that series.

As a 40-year-old cis-het straight white man I need the world to know how important Ms Martin’s work was to me as a young reader. I don’t know why I saw comfort in the in the babysitters club series, but it was my comfort read as a child and so much of what I related to as a young child trying to figure out how to relate to the world, and I cannot thank her enough for her work when I found it.

Ronny weirdly makes more and more sense now, at first I was like he's just chaos and rage, but no he's belligerently nostalgic and disappointed, it's awesome to see him get to nerd out about stuff that influenced him and he gets to thank the people who actually shaped his childhood.
