RIP the legendary Drew Struzan (1947-2025) 😩

Even though we were expecting the news any day now, it makes me very sad. What an artist.

this thing about "splitting the left" is yukky. i ain't gonna vote Labour out of dogmatism, because the party's actions in government don't look like what i actually believe in: socialism. instead, i'd rather vote for a party who actually look like they're thinking about taking socialist actions.

I will....not say the words i am thinking with regards to "autism Speaks"...applogies to any passing telepath though

Autism $peaks raised ~$34m in 2024 and spent 1% on family services and grants to help Autistic individuals. They spend approximately 25% of their budget on lobbying and another 25% on research (primarily on genetic testing and causation, i.e. eugenics). They aren’t trying to make our lives better.

Mattslew Batberg-Mothfit (any/all) @mbrobergmoffitt.bsky.social · 2d

Autism $peaks is the largest and most popular Autism organization (among allistics), who continues to be 100% in support of ABA. They have lobbyists who push ABA as the “gold standard Autism treatment.” It utilizes same practices as “conversion therapy,” which is currently banned in 28 countries.

A comic illustration by Jim Benton:

A witch with a long nose, wearing a hat and cloak, stands over a glowing green frog. The witch says, "Hocus Pocus! A Prince no more! You shall live the rest of your life as a frog!" The frog, with a pleased expression, responds, "Oh shit yeah." The background features trees and bushes in a forest setting. The comic is signed with Jim Benton's website and Instagram handle on the left.

En fait y a un certain nombre de points où y a aps de juste milieu, y a pas, bordel. Vous pouvez pas etre "centriste" dans un débat avec un fasciste eb disant "je prends 50% du racisme, c est un compromis". Vous pouvez pas etre à moitié pour les droits humains, à moitié anti raciste.

I had the pleasure of working with Rob Wieland on some portraits for his Star Trek show, he was a joy to work with and very kind. He helped shine a light on some great games and his absence will be sorely felt in the tabletop world.

Holy shit I just learned Tim Curry is stuck in a wheelchair since 2012? And he doesn’t have enough insurance coverage to address it? WTF, the USA is a fucked up place

Kristen Immoor @kristenimmoor.bsky.social · 2d

Enjoyed the New Yorker interview with Tim Curry, a free-wheeling conversation in which there were several sensitive questions about his paralyzing stroke. But oh my goodness, why was there no follow-up at all to this staggering answer? www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

Screenshot of text from the interview:

You’ve always been an incredibly physical performer: your strut during “Sweet Transvestite” in “Rocky Horror,” or the way you run around unfurling the mystery at the end of “Clue.” Do you still feel that in your body? Does that live somewhere in you still?

I think it does, but it’s angry. My mobility is angry to get out. But it’s not happened yet. I do a certain amount of physical therapy. I did a whole bunch of it at Cedars-Sinai, and I got very close, I think, to walking. That was tantalizing. For insurance reasons, I had to withdraw. And I have a visiting physical therapist now, but I can only really do exercises from my bed, which is pretty pathetic. It’s not going to get me walking, I don’t believe.

[I have underlined the sentence "For insurance reasons, I had to withdraw."]

It's a fun little caper and I liked it better than the other Cutey movie but what I really liked about it was the terrific side eye performance from leading lady Zena Keefe.

I was not familiar with Keefe (not a huge star) but her acting and makeup are very understated and modern.
