For Fansplaining (!) I wrote about a passion topic - Blake's 7 and early fandom conflicts.

Fansplaining @fansplaining.bsky.social · Jan 22

Our first piece of the year is live—and it's a big one! With the recent release of the classic BBC sci-fi show Blake's 7 on Blu-ray, @scenicrailway.bsky.social looks back at the infamous 1980s clash between fans and creators that became known as the Slash Wars. 🚀 Read or listen to an audio version:

The War That Almost Broke a Classic Fandom — Fansplaining

Blake’s 7 fans and actors mixed regularly at cons and on the pages of zines—until an anonymous letter changed everything.

A new video store is now open in West Michigan.

Bardertown Video has DVD, VHS and vintage video games — plus equipment to play them on.

"People like having physical media in their hands," co-owner Abigail Ritzema said.

Excellent list! I would add "The Hatton Garden Job" (2017) with Matthew Goode. Based on a real jewel robbery. Also good is "The Duke" (2020) with Jim Broadbent, Helen Mirren, and Matthew Goode. Another true robbery - this time from The National Gallery in London.

I feel like shooting my shot because my notifs are still insane rn

The tailor shop stuff is extremely funny considering Man From UNCLE. If @brennanleemulligan.bsky.social happens to see this please let me know if it was intentional. (I know it's generally a trope buuuuut)

You're undeniably wrong but I forgive you.

Every time Peyton Place uses Teardrop City it throws me for a loop and they use it A LOT

lena barkin @scenicrailway.bsky.social · 4d

Yeah, I'm excited to check it out!

lena barkin @scenicrailway.bsky.social · 4d

Yeah I'm struggling with it too! It's such a broad definition now as well that being "in fandom" doesn't even mean the same thing it did 10 years ago.

Oh, sometimes a project will be stalled for months or years! For example, I have not picked up Cheers or X-Files since Feb but then will watch 10 eps at a time.

lena barkin @scenicrailway.bsky.social · 4d

I think maybe because it sounds more like slang and fan networks sounds really formal. I think it's technically more accurate and can shift our thinking but we're not going to get the majority to switch.
