I'd love to talk to (queer) fans of #AgathaAllAlong for a piece I'm working on – interested in fans' thoughts about #AGATHARIO, what surprised them about the show, what they found disappointing....My DMS are open!

Wrote about the campaign to #SaveMyLadyJane! Some counter-programming for today: www.dailydot.com/pop-culture/...
