Found it

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like

I got to chime in for this @npr.org write up on the etymology and evolution of nerd by Joe Hernandez. You can't won't hear it but I had the 'In the air tonight" drum breakdown on repeat for the entirety of the interview out of pure excitement.

That time I was having a great time on a panel lmaooo

"Some corners of the SW universe lean heavily on nostalgia, familiar beats, or hero’s journey tropes, Andor took a different path. It gave us something grounded. Something intimate. Something human" The Fire Beneath Ferrix: ‘Andor’ Shows Us What ‘Star Wars’ Always Could Be via @naliaah.bsky.social

“I’m dedicated to believing that it’s through coalitions that we’ll win out. There are no more single issues.” Audre Lorde (Black Women Writers at Work, 1983)

The thing with Pedro Pascal is he not only gives a fuck; he knows he's huge enough to spend all day trashing bigots safely because entire franchises are built around him atm. He's no dispensable Gina Carano-tier secondary guy. This also underlines how most famous artists as big as him are cowards.

"These stories let Black characters exist fully-fighting, loving, scheming, surviving- without being reduced to just victims of history..." Screaming Without Shackles: The Rise of Black Horror Beyond Trauma by @naliaah.bsky.social blacknerdproblems.com/screaming-wi...

My neighbor is a Palestinian-American college student who works at the local bodega. He's working really hard to afford his tuition, which is in the tens of thousands, & he's at risk of getting kicked out. Can we tell him Happy Holidays? cash.app/$Aeeee19 Pictured: Palestinian artwork he's selling

I got to review the 1st season #DaredevilBornAgain and the show doesn't compromise the storytelling, character development, or violence. Even if you know the comics being adapted, the turns and risks taken are unpredictable in the best way

Hey variant cover nerds! Peach Momoko has a bunch of kimono variants out tomorrow, but here are three X-Men variants! NYX 9 featuring Ms. Marvel! Storm 6 featuring...Storm, obvs. Uncanny X-Men 11 featuring Rogue!

old Soviet joke for our times: Guy stops by the newsstand every day, scans the front page, doesn’t buy the paper. One day the vendor asks what he’s up to. Guy says: “looking for an obituary.” Vendor says “those are towards the back of the paper, comrade.” Guy says: “not the one I’m looking for.”

He can't! Man I love John Cena to death but you can tell from the man's ears, he ain't got the head shape to pull off a baldy. ... damn I sound like a phrenologist right now but I *promise you* I'm right.

Only one thing left for John Cena to do to truly embrace the heel turn. Gotta shave the head for the baldy. It's time. GIVE'EM FULL BLOWN VILLAIN CENA THE LIKES OF WHICH THEY'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE WITH FINAL BOSS ROCK.

This man making Avatar Wan the George Wallace* of the Four Nations, I'm =crying= 🤣🤣 *not the cool one

They hate Korra cause she desegregated the Spirit and Human world. Ya girl had to reintroduce integration cause everyone was still rocking with Avatar Wan's, "Segregation now, tomorrow, and forever." speech

Received my copies of The Comics Courier, A New Comics Criticism Journal. A review of a comic I adore by @shanfiction.bsky.social is in here! TY @explodingarrow.bsky.social for putting this project together! It feels sublime to hold a newspaper full of folks all raving about comics in 2025! 🖤

@omarholmon.bsky.social As a REFORMED Cyclops hater, I approve this message! 🤣

Yes, we have millions of followers and social media is great for validation, but not so much for paying bills. Turns out, likes and shares don’t magically turn into rent money.

Incredible peace by @naliaah.bsky.social I love reading about the safe spaces and places where we find and define community via gaming! 🥹

To all my Invincible fans, I did a very detailed recap of Season 2 to get your rest for the Season 3 premiere on February 6th! youtu.be/RbgpQ-R3Etk?...

Not sure why HBO Max starts Craig of the Creek with season 4 and why episode 6 of the series finale isn't on the service either. The disrespect for the send off is wild

Hey, while we're talking about erasing history: In 1949 the US military held its first Aeriel Gunnery Competition, later known as "Top Gun." The best of the best competed in dogfighting and other skills. The team that won, was the 332nd: The Tuskegee airmen. So they refused to announce a winner🤡

Btw Authors Against Book Bans ( @authorsabb.bsky.social ) might seem kid lit driven bc so many challenges are happening in schools, but I think every author should consider joining. Book bans are bad for everyone. www.authorsagainstbookbans.com

Me: Los Angeles getting some rain! Great! *looks over to see dumpster truck on wheels* Wow, these things really know how to help ruin a day, huh? Also my dad is a comedian! 🙃

Again, I completely understand the fatalist response to current leadership. However, I can’t imagine myself feeling less activated in this moment. There is a lot of work to do.
