That is so cool of you, thank you! Hope you're having a kickass autumn.

(I'm being very chill about this.)

"We have to cancel kristallnacht 2.0 because the guy was one of the people we were grooming to take part in it" is a heck of a twist to be sure

I’m so sorry to say that one of our beloved creatives on #XenaWarriorPrincess, writer Chris Manheim has passed away from cancer. She was a Gentlewoman and a scholar and wrote on all six years of our show. We send all our Xenite love to her husband, Rick. Shine on, darling Chris!

@fsuwriter.bsky.social Mr Sears, if you happen to have two hours of your life to waste on some more fan-made nonsense, I hope you enjoy my wee tribute to the best show ever made. ;)

Rest in peace, Robert Trebor. You always charmed as the lovable Salmoneus. You were the first to see there was more to #Xena in Hercules TLJ. Thanks for bringing him to life with such warmth and humor.

Thank you very, very much for watching! ❤️ And also for being so instrumental in the development of my favorite television show of all time, haha.

(However, you can pry the cold-water lobster theory from my cold, dead hands. 😌)

Ahhh, I love this! I wish I’d had this as a resource when writing Xena essays ages ago tbh. 😍

Congratulations on your achievement!

A lot of things suck in this lifetime, but I remember when the thought of this was incomprehensible. This is beautiful.

this is where I'm at and let me tell you it's a bleak place to be

I have no faith in the Democratic party to hold the line that needs to be held and also they are the only realistic option to do so - there is no third party or alternative movement ready to step in and replace their infrastructure

Joe Katz @joekatz45.bsky.social · Jan 2

For years the debate in front of me was "Democrats are feckless weak compromising losers without principles or imagination, interested only in their own paychecks and the donor class" versus "Democrats are the only thing between us and the abyss" and I am deeply concerned everyone was right.

Hell yeah! 🥳

Out of curiosity was there any discussion of including the charges in ‘Napoleon,’ or is that not considered ancient enough?

Hullo! If it’s alright to ask, what types of videos are included in the submission guidelines?

E.g. fan edited music videos or original content or? Is there a rule against using copyrighted material, and if so what kind?

Just Wandering @justwanderingblog.bsky.social · Nov 28

I can confirm a battle scene (such as it is) by the end of episode two, but they're few and far between. And most of the characters remain supremely unlikable throughout, though as usual Joseph Mawle is doing his best.

Patroclus isn't just Achilles' cousin, though, so at least there's that.

@roelkonijn.bsky.social Out of curiosity, as I'm currently slogging through it, did you ever get around to watching Troy: Fall of a City?

If there's no future video planned on it, would you mind talking a wee bit about how it compares to other adaptations and how the beach skirmishes hold up?

A face reveal that no one asked for:

Some casual Xena cosplay at the local RenFaire. One day I’ll get around to fixing and sculpting this costume properly, but it is not this day. 🐎 🗡️
