I wrote about the Supergirl trailer and how much I hate the idea that women protagonists have to be role models to be heroic. www.slashfilm.com/2136097/supe...

LRP: This is why it genuinely pains me to see people retweeting accounts that are lifting news from other sites without just sharing the direct source — it takes away from the true reporting that is still happening, and is definitely a part of the reason journalism is now on the decline!

i see too many of you sharing culture crave posts, and i get mad every time. i know its an account thats easy to digest but they steal other people's work all the time! and credit poorly or not at all! you can do better!

Had a really great in-depth conversation with #Paradise writer and EP John Hoberg about the Season 2 finale, which characters' fates are 100% definitive, how the third and final season "will answer all your questions," and more:

I love that this trailer gives the people what they want, which is more Krypto I also love that Kara Zor-El is willing to go full John Wick for her Kryptonian rescue mutt

Live look at me getting through this week

The biggest reason I’m interested in the Super Mario Galaxy Movie is the possibility of this sicko on my screen again

I'll admit I'm weak for a good secret identity trope — a character operating undercover turns out to be a princess-in-hiding, or the king pretends to be a bodyguard while one of his decoys takes his place at public-facing events.

I love the feeling of returning to a book I soft DNF'd, only to tear through it in an entire weekend

I spoke with Fiona Dourif about tonight’s episode of #ThePitt, that telling conversation between Cassie and Robby, why Season 2’s ICE storyline was uncomfortable for the cast to tackle, and more:

Really enjoyed this candid (spoiler!) conversation with #SomethingVeryBadIsGoingtoHappen creator Haley Z. Boston about why she wants viewers to have complicated feelings about an ending that could easily be a part of the "Good for Her" cinematic universe:

Monday again huh

there are so many books I need to read and not enough hours in the day

Might as well reveal now that in the Season 5 premiere of #ForAllMankind, Ed has fully transitioned into his Grandpa Simpson era, and it is DELIGHTFUL.

My trans and nonbinary historical romance duology titles, A GENTLEMAN'S GENTLEMAN & A LADY FOR ALL SEASONS, are now national bestsellers 🥂 More info & buy links: tjalexander.com#books6

This Word Suitcase is about pirate civil unions, romance novels, and some trans books I have loved for this year's #TransRightsReadathon

Extremely disappointed that AMC cancelled #Talamasca, so I wrote about Gasper, unrealized potential, and why the network should find a way to keep Jasper and Guy in the Immortal Universe:

WE DID IT (also I love him, but Ed Baldwin starting a workers' strike on Mars because he was bored is one of the funniest things this show has ever done)

Station Eleven hive LET’S GOOOO!

The queer angst and adventure of Black Sails with the nautical nerdiness/authenticity of Aubrey-Maturin. Side mention of Hamilton for the anti-colonial radicalism and polyamory 😉 Books2Read.com/RearsandVices or emcaro.carrd.co

instead of watching the new harry potter trailer, why not pick up some horror books by trans and nb writers for the trans rights readathon?? there are so many good options. For example, check out some of these writers:

Dying to show this scene to someone who's never watched For All Mankind before and ask them to guess whether the needle drop at the end is real

In my latest newsletter I wrote about how AI messes with the generous readers (per @emilyhughes.bsky.social) who are the lifeblood of the business. I also covered two excellent debut novels. www.themarisreview.com/the-maris-re...

It's official: BRIDGERTON S5 will be lesbians in Scotland. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qb79...

Some good TV news!

so funny when people get all upset about genres that other people DARE to enjoy. these big think pieces about ROMANTASY or COZY HORROR or DARK ACADEMIA and how dang upset they make the writer of the article. bud who cares what other people like youll be fine. let people read their books oh my god

It’s #RomanceColumn time again! We’ve got a pair of sci-fi tv actors who loathe each other, a meticulous romantasy with a widow and her necromancer neighbor, and an adrenaline-filled queer tennis romance for more Heated Rivary vibes. Gift link: #Romancelandia #booksky

formal proposal of a replacement for the vince mcmahon meme format

this is such a good post, & while I read it I thought a lot about how the "waiting to be let down" mode of engaging with things relates to everyone's constant insistence that we are "not surprised" by anything. be surprised! for better or worse! it's okay to be wrong about things!!!!!

Hardly the point, but it really makes your life better if you wait to get angry at things you like until they give you a reason to do so. "I'm waiting to see how this show lets me down" has been a primary mode of audience engagement since the middle of Game of Thrones and it's bad for everyone.

Loved this take from Emily (which also touches on identical feelings I had about the social media pile-on regarding The Pitt’s latest episode before most people even had the chance to watch it).

this is a Rocky post, long live Rocky

I had a great, all-encompassing conversation with Isa Briones about this season of The Pitt. We talked about the big Santos/Langdon scene, the lullaby she sang to Baby Jane Doe, and the family-like connections on set www.elle.com/culture/movi...

my favorite thing is that Nurse Jesse is a REAL ER NURSE

For @popheist.com, I wrote about all the drama surrounding the Buffy revival - with some thoughts on fandoms, rumors, how folks can't let people be excited for things, and my own podcast fatigue popheist.com/buffy-reviva...

We grown, so let's talk about fantasy erotica and how @alexisflower.bsky.social is the fucking goat. aftermath.site/i-roved-out-...

Watching #Paradise Season 2, I was struck by the fact that the show always seems to subvert expectations created by other post-apocalyptic sci-fi worlds through its emphasis on humanity's inherent goodness, so I asked Sterling K. Brown about it. (Spoilers for this week's episode within!)

NEW: I cried in two press boxes this week and I wrote about why. "It’s often felt like the women’s sports boom is happening around me in ways that I believed but couldn’t really see. This week felt different."

book bans are for losers pass it on (seriously, call your reps and tell them book bans are for LOSERS, as in people who support book bans LOSE ELECTIONS)

It's hard to think about retiring from racing, because mushing is, and will always be, a huge part of my life. So I took a journey with my older dogs, who have retired themselves. They've taught me so much over the years; now, they're teaching me to live with change. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/18/m...

I was talking to my husband about this after S2.E4 because I got a little sniffly when one of the expectations I had was subverted. And of course the big one in the S2 pilot. (Trying not to be too spoilery.) Season 2 is amazing.

If we’re going to bring back any cancelled space show, it should be Killjoys! Or The Expanse!

One thing that's struck me about Ryan Coogler is that he's one of the biggest sponges in terms of just wanting to soak up as much knowledge as he can from his fellow creators; more people in Hollywood would benefit from possessing that same curiosity and hunger

People get how cool it is that three horror movies won last night, right? Plenty of people still don’t take the genre seriously so it absolutely rocks to see Sinners, and Frankenstein, AND Weapons make it happen.
