So, that was the Airing of the Grievances, hm?
I guess the Feats of Strength are supposed to come next. But I’m not going to hold my breath.

i'll meet you halfway
that's better than no way
there must be some way
to get it together
and if there's some way
i know that some day
we just might work it out
forever

This book is VERY good. 100% its own idiosyncratic thing, the kind of thing only one person could ever write. Worth checking out!!
My novel Lessons in Magic and Disaster is just $2.99 in all e-book formats today. (Kindle, Kobo, Nook,etc)
This is the book of my heart. It's a queer mother-daughter story about healing and forgiveness. It's got 18th century lit, riot grrls, and filthy weird magic.

I just blocked someone who was impersonating a celebrity I've never heard of.
I think this is a sign of poor standards among celebrity impersonators. If you're going to be fake at me, at least be fake someone I know. Otherwise, what's even the point? You might as well just call yourself Sally271.

Or at the very least like it could use a little text, to contextualize the image. But mostly, y'know, mean.

He's also responsible for raising all the money that paid for bringing Hollingsworth v. Perry & even more importantly Bostic v. Schaefer, which created the circuit split that forced SCOTUS to take on Obergefell v. Hodges. The role he played in American marriage equality cannot be overstated.
The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing.
All from his movies.

A rare What If? 2-parter, this plays on the slowly dying anxiety about how Cable fit into the broader world of the X-Men.

Rob Reiner either made your favorite movie, or made somebody you know’s favorite movie. If you’re a Californian, he’s also part of the reason you or your friends can get married. He has changed more lives for the better than this asshole commenting on him ever did.

RIP Rob Reiner. He brought us so much humor and joy. For him and his wife to die like this is horrific.
