Happy birthday to American actor and martial artist Mark Dacascos, born today in 1964. Having had many roles in fandom (Middleman being my favorite), he is perhaps best known for Eric Draven in The Crow: Stairway to Heaven and Eubulon in Kamen Rider: Dragon Knight. #MarkDacascos

People wonder how Christian Bale and Leonardo DiCaprio are going to play the same characters as Pacino and DeNiro. The answer is simple: the original Heat was set in the Universal Century whereas Hear 2 will take place in the After Colony timeline

Wrinkled fingers tremble on the trumpet's valves. Endless summers with his boys, cheap gin and cigars. A hundred women, though he never forgot a name. Dresses twirling in the moonlight, bright as stars. Once, he'd known the sweetness of five mambos. Perhaps before the end, he might manage a sixth.

I need serious help. I haven't had the tips I need to keep up with bills due to the winter storms recently. My internet was disconnected, I have a pending disconnection on my electricity, I need to buy more insulin, and rent is upcoming. Please. 😭 ko-fi.com/franop #MutualAid #TransMutualAid

No you see actually Marx was a monster hunter and didn't actually care about worker rights, he just knew getting rid of nobility and the rich would remove the layer of legal protection from Vampires behaviors so he could hunt them legally.

LONG LIVE THE NEW FLESH

I'm reading The Wee Free Men, a young adult fantasy novel by Terry Pratchett. I've mentioned it before, but Pratchett has such a searing insight into the human condition, and he writes with such love and kindness (that perseveres through sorrow and frailty) that it's enough to make your heart burst.

love when there's an article about how life is sustainable in the superheated waters surrounding a hydrothermal volcanic fissure on the ocean floor and then like six paragraphs in you find out the author's parents are chemosynthetic bacteria 🙄

I know a lot of people like the band Black Sabbath, but I cannot support rhyming "their masses" with "Black Masses"

there's a discworld humble bundle to get 35 of the books with a $16 minimum contribution

"thin places" are locations where the veil between the physical and spiritual worlds is said to be particularly thin.

(41-year-old man voice) a ginger ale would really “hit” right now!

I also wrote this a few years back on the music of the original Legend of Zelda, how the Famicom Disk version's audio differed from the NES cart, and the hardware improvements and limitations that drove the music design.

This made me laugh, and we all need that these days.

Bahamut Fayth: You're gay. Tidus: What are you talking about? Bahamut Fayth: Everyone in Zanarkand is gay. Tidus: I literally like women??? Bahamut Fayth: You can like women if you're gay. It's called Bisexuality. Narrator Tidus: I had forgotten about Bisexuality.

This is what they took from you

just finished reading The Book of Hungry Names. exceptional interactive novel filled with refreshingly antifascist politics. absolutely worth also getting the expansion packs / DLC, which adds polyamory & a bunch of additional werewolf tribes. I played as a lesbian theurge ghost council werewolf.🐺

Oh, snap. Sentai Filmworks is releasing Heavy Metal L-Gaim. Better pre-orderer this while you can:

The Little Ladies' Day festivities are drawing near once again, starting Feb. 26! 🌸 sqex.to/pv4YD Gather under a canopy of fragrant blossoms and prepare for some "fan"-tastic rewards as the Songbirds and the Seneschal Prince grace the streets of Ul'dah with their annual concerts! 🎵

We complain about modern TV series release pace, but watching Bubblegum Crisis, imagine waiting across 4 years for 8 episodes to be released. But also each episode was on it's own VHS tape. And this was a pretty successful business model for a while.
