I'm so excited for everyone to read @prof-anne.bsky.social's take on the Good Omens wrapup for Fansplaining! A witty, warm overview of the show's meta-narrative embrace of transformative fandom. fansplaining.com/good-omens-f...

It's extremely fun to go to the movies with someone who is clutching you with delight, even if you are not personally delighted by said film. 😘 It was wonderful to get back on the air with @flourishklink.com again and I'm so glad they'll be doing occasional special episodes with me going forward!!

In our latest, @soila.bsky.social writes about the complicated ways colonialism and cultural hegemony can separate English (for fanfiction, fun) from non-native speakers' local languages (for Serious Literature, everyday life). Read or listen to an audio version: fansplaining.com/the-elation-...

We're sooo close to the baseline 🙏 less than a handful of paid subscribers from reaching this milestone. And the work will only get better!

I had such fun joining RALLY's What If We...? podcast to discuss the evolution of memes and their enormous role in our cultural trajectory! Short and engaging chat. what-if-we.captivate.fm/episode/the-...

This piece is SO GOOD. @soila.bsky.social & editor @lincodega.com worked magic to bring this final product together. As I was editing the audio version, I kept finding myself nodding at particularly sharp points, e.g., how only English gets to be the language of "play." Please read and share widely!

Today's Fansplaining article is a must-read. @soila.bsky.social was part of several of my fave panels at Seattle Worldcon, and I was elated to see her write about decolonizing fanfiction for us! fansplaining.com/the-elation-...

Tennessee House Speaker Cameron Sexton has taken Democrats off of their committees for the walkout they staged in protest of redistricting last week. (1/2)

Just finished @lincodega.com's Pasha the Storm, and I feel a little overwhelmed by it! Such immense, immersive polyqueer worldbuilding, w/a large, sharply drawn, incredibly horny cast of characters, a deep mythology, and a salty pirate hero falling for a hot flustered principled naif half her age!

You guys, @fansplaining.bsky.social is close to funding our current weekly publishing rate! 🙏 If you signed up for free membership but have been thinking of upgrading, today would be a lovely day to take the next step! Paid membership means you get access to everything incl. special podcast eps!

Had a great conversation about Chinese CP fans with Nicoletta! We talked about everything from Xiao Zhan and AO3 to the military's crackdown on Linghe's beautiful face in Pursuit of Jade, but of course that's all background for this piece.

Well. This is wonderful.

URGENT CALL TO ACTION Folks from all over the state are gathering in Nashville this week to fight against eliminating District 9. PLEASE take the time today to call and email TODAY and encourage these folks to vote against redistricting in Tennessee. #voteizer #sheshed 1/

This piece was SUCH a delight!

New update with SIX catten pictures! They continue to be photogenic and very sweet. It was a big month, April, and now we're trying to get to 9K in May, so please share if you can. Here are three of the new pictures, please see the update for all 6: www.gofundme.com/f/help-coreo...

I don't think we're talking enough about how, after years of trying to legislatively punish the city of Memphis for existing while Black, TN Republicans are now just... taking it over by force. Exhibit A: tennesseelookout.com/2026/04/20/s... Exhibit B: www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Thank you all SO much for the love and enthusiasm! Bluesky once again proving it's the coolest platform for internet nerds 🔥 💪 💖

One thing I love about @lincodega.com's article on The Pitt fandom (which you can read rn just by becoming a free member of Fansplaining!) is that alongside all the cogent writing about fan practices is just. So much thirst for Jack Abbot 😂 fansplaining.com/the-pitt-fan...

IT'S HEEERE! Membership is FREE and you get access to so much smart writing about fandom, starting with @lincodega.com on THE PITT! I am so excited for the stories we're going to be bringing to you all! Articles on everything from danmei to Drake! From conlangs to Thai GL! Join us! 🥳

I was like CAN WE GIVE THE FAN A LIL LAN CLAN RIBBON? MAYBE A GUQIN? 🥺 and loooook 🥹🥹🥹🥹

Start the tape—er, COUNTDOWN. Fansplaining relaunches in THREE (3) days, and we're celebrating by sharing some of the adorable new fandom fans we commissioned from the brilliant @redgoldsparks.bsky.social. Get ready—Fansplaining: The Publication goes live on Wednesday, April 29th! ✨

This is exactly why we are relaunching @fansplaining.bsky.social as a proper media outlet dedicated to nuanced reporting on fandom culture! We deserve to break free of this repetitive, endless "have you heard of fic/shipping/slash/etc?" cycle! We will fix this 💪

once again, it's "be gay, do crimeS," the original quote was "crimes" not "crime," the "s" is mandatory, it underscores that you are so full of gay crimes that you are starting with crimes against language itself, it cannot be anything else, ty for coming to my ted talks

glancing at the public convo about MJ and remebering the article I wrote for a redacted former employer that exhaustively revisited the original media coverage of MJ's allegations, and how the media *immediately* consistently dismissed them as greed-motivated nonsense, that my editor killed on sight

I should also add that I am open to (really more like grabby-hands about) pitches! I have a giant brainstorming list of topics I'd love to publish that I'm happy to send out! Here's a little glimpse for you all. [email protected] for pitches, questions, kudos etc!

WE ARE SO CHUFFED! Get excited for us! 🎉🎊🥳 Dust off your fandom pitches that you didn't have an outlet for! 🔥🔥🔥🍻

oh poor Leo!! Please chip in a few dollars if you can, or pass this along in order to help a sweet lil guy 🙏

The regime is attempting to criminalize the infiltration of extremist groups, just as it has perpetually tried to frame antifascist resistance as equivalent to fascism. The charges are primarily a tactic to try to shift the cultural perception of what counts as extremist activity.

this is both unbelievable and exciting AND we're still looking for folks to join us as paid subscribers so we can do all the cool -- and completely unhinged -- shit we've got planned! join us! $7/month isn't too much to pay for the best food writing in the biz!!!

All, a dear friend just lost her daughter after weeks of hospitalization & complications. Since this happened out of town, my friend has incurred a ton of unexpected expenses, so we've started a GoFundMe to help her out. If you can, please donate, or at least, please share.

Happy birthday to everyone's main man Tim Curry! I was reading this gem *yesterday*! www.vice.com/en/article/q...

Very happy for all the people discovering the phrase "competence porn" via Noah Wyle's GQ article! My point below intensifies.

Time flies! There are 6 days left to hit 50% of our goal by the halfway point of our subscriber drive. That means we need 117 readers to become annual paid subscribers by April 21. Help us stay on track to launch Ravenous.

I cannot understand why so many creators who are trying to build audiences, grow networks, and generally be visible on the internet don't actually include a contact email anywhere on any of their platforms. Social DMs aren't optimal for business—or for hearing from ppl who might be able to help you!

Just noting that the wild popularity of The Pitt, Project Hail Mary, and Artemis 2 are all signs of a culture that's overwhelmed by anti-science quackery, ignorant influencers, AI-pilled slop, and decreasing literacy, clearly starving for examples of expertise, knowledge, and expert leadership.

I'm very excited to be onboarding as part of the Caravan Fund. We're gonna do good work together. Pittsburgh friends, pls keep in mind as a resource and reach out to me if I can help connect you with anything you need that the ABS does. 💜

genuinely can't say enough how happy I am to be able to subscribe to Amy, Ashok, and Jaya's writing. What do you MEAN they just show up in my inbox? Sounds fake but IT'S REAL 🎉

And just like that... we're LIVE on Kickstarter! If you're excited about getting our monthly comics zine, head on over and nab a pledge for a six month subscription today! www.kickstarter.com/projects/tif...

New GFM update today, with progress toward the 8K goal. So close! New kitten pics too! Here's one from last week, there are more in the update! It's so wonderful to have cats who are siblings and get along well. Please share widely! www.gofundme.com/f/help-coreo...

What gets covered: 
• Pop culture & creativity dominates headlines 🎬 
• Policy coverage gets less attention ⚖️ 
• Resilience & solutions are underrepresented 💪🏾 What gets amplified — and what doesn’t — shapes understanding and real lives. transnewsinitiative.org

oh and on this trans day of visibility, please be aware that TN republicans are trying to force medical workers to give the patient data of trans people to lawmakers. The lawmakers *say* the data will be kept anonymous but absolutely no one believes that. wpln.org/post/bill-to...

I just enjoy Elizabeth Sandifer's brain so much, that's all

I need the Harry Potter rants to come with 100% less fan-shaming adults who loved the series. It is absolute bullshit to shame someone for loving children's fantasy, one of the most popular literary genres in existence. Obvs shame them for still clinging to it now. Not for having ever loved it.

If anyone needs 2 tickets to Sirens (March 18-22, New Haven CT), please hit me up. I got them at the advance price, but we can negotiate. With car trouble and some other things, I’m regrettably not going after all. sirensconference.org

I've been living in a hotel since mid-2024, and I've finally found an apartment if I can come up with $2500 up front for the deposit + first month's rent. Any help is appreciated, including sharing this post. #MutualAidRequest #TransCrowdFund cash.app/$Settiai paypal.me/poicelle venmo.com/u/Settiai

We live in extremely cruel times, and helping ensure a trans kid's survival and safety is a vital form of resistance. Please donate to help Eli and best boy Ianto if you can.
