oceanator and laura stevenson show last night was Healing

tomorrow morning a truck is gonna deliver WAY TOO MANY copies of Sex Change and the City to my house, so anyway I panicked and now you can get 25% off of 2+ copies of SCATC, this week only, with code TWOSHOES. 📚🛒: girldadpress.bigcartel.com It's a trans/queer Sex and the City anthology btw :)

Happy Tuesday #BookSky Your strategy question for this week! How do we harness & channel the energy that got ABC/Disney to change course on Kimmel to protect books from marginalized communities? How do we connect those issues? How do we bring in new potential allies?

it’s so fucking good

forgive me father for i have sinned (couldn't sleep and started rewatching how i met your mother)

when a movie character gets a bunch of legal boxes delivered to their door and has to sift through a bunch of overflowing folders??? extremely my shit

love reading about 90s sitcoms on wikipedia where it's like "the beloved show was canceled after seven seasons when its ratings dropped down to an abysmal 9.1 million viewers"

Look. I'm not mad you bought a Kimmel picture book. But marginalized creators are getting banned and death threats and harassed all the time. It'd be neat to show them that wallet solidarity.

btw some leftists are being teargassed as they literally block ICE vans with their bodies while other leftists are lecturing black people about rallies they were never gonna go to anyway so, you know

If you're a white leftist who wants to be an organizer, the #1 way I know coalitions will fail is if you're snide to Black people online. Calling marginalized folks cowardly and stupid for trying to keep themselves safe while protesting? You don't have what it takes.

do you think the cbs producers told big brother contestants about charlie k

ppl who are canceling disney+ but buying andor on dvd from walmart..... u know u can pirate stuff right

If I had done the same shit Olivia Nuzzi did my name would never be allowed in the VICINITY of a legacy pub ever again.

big fan of physical media over here, love how often a friend is like "ugh [movie] isn't on streaming" or "i don't want to pay netflix/apple/whatever just to watch [movie]" and i get to say "do you want to borrow my dvd copy that i bought for $5 from a rite aid bin in 2008"

A lot of libraries also have physical media you can check out. Our local system has movies, audiobooks TV etc. I do realize it’s not practical to always do that, but it’s a good option! Also getting involved in your local library & its board can help!

ok ok we’ve established all of this is bad but: what are we going to do about it? and i don’t mean post about it jfc i mean plan in your group chats and discuss IRL with your families and think of concrete actions besides bringing a clever sign to a park for three hours. target organize etc

jimmy kimmel starting a substack would be pretty funny tho

Just a reminder that I'm a good writer and editor who hits deadlines, if you have any freelance or part-time work you wanna throw at me.

NEW: "The inequalities are staggering: While WNBA players currently receive just 9.3% of their league’s revenue, NBA players receive 49-51% from their league. Women players’ salaries are also capped at a figure that’s actually less than one-quarter of NBA players’ minimum.”✍️ @roughnotes.bsky.social
