I'm a huge fan of Kevin and @jimdemonakos.bsky.social's work, and they (with Meghna Balakumar) are back with a thoughtful documentary about Gilmore Girls, that's about fandom and relationships between mothers and daughters.

RIP Drew Struzan, the man who illustrated my childhood, especially at the movies. I am lucky enough to have a piece of his on my wall that I look at every day (from the Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade Pepsi campaign in 1989).

Jorge Polanco 8 and counting in 2025

With the holidays upon us, don't give to Salvation Army. Not even change. It's a scumbag "charity" run by anti-gay zealots.

Habitat for Humanity is great. Your local Food Bank is great.

So many "charities" are for-profit scams. Use Charity Navigator to vet them. www.charitynavigator.org

Fun fact about the Salvation Army: they use a form of substance use treatment called work therapy. Oh, and by treatment, I mean they have people who have been convicted of drug charges work for their stores & warehouses in exchange for room, board, around a $1 a week, and minimal actual therapy.

I *just* got home and it is so past my bedtime! We honestly tried our best to “make some noise” multiple times to help things along, but it didn’t work until the 15th

Best I could do on my iPhone when it was nearly dark but this owl was just chilling on a wire across from the house and so I grabbed a couple shots!

Sharing this thread from a queer artist who needs $$$ help, and I figured this image (my fav sticker of theirs) might resonate with folks.

What a great episode of @kellysue.bsky.social talking about her love of Alan Alda! Really enjoyable listen, great job @spfanpodcast.bsky.social!

M*A*S*H wasn’t just a show — it was comfort, catharsis, and a cultural blueprint.

This week on the Superfan Podcast, @kellysue.bsky.social talks about Alan Alda, Hawkeye Pierce’s sensitive swagger, and how comedy can be a delivery system for grief.

This is incredibly sweet.

I unfortunately only really remember the teachers that discouraged me and told me various pursuits of mine (like drawing) were dead end careers that would never go anywhere. *sigh* I sincerely hope there’s more teachers like this out in the world.

as a neurodivergent & also weird kid school was hell for me, though these days I struggle to remember the names of all the teachers who bullied me. But the three that treated me like a person have never left me. Now more than ever, I hope you all try your best to stay unsquishable!

If I had a dollar for every email I got that said some variation on "I have secret strategies that can help your Kickstarter" I wouldn't even need to do a Kickstarter because I would have so many dollars
