Excuse me while I nerd out and bask in this gorgeous ass art. Can I get a print, please?

I saved dozens upon dozens of them to share, only to realize I need to convert them all to be able to post them on BlueSky…which I’m absolutely not gonna do right this second.

WandaVision and Agatha All Along are hands down my favorite MCU projects. Fair warning that if VisionQuest is half as good, it may become 60% of my personality during its season. You’ve been warned.

I kinda want those sad Jack In The Box/Simpsons Treehouse of Horror cups but I don’t eat meat or particularly use plastic cups, so no part of the ordeal would be necessary or enjoyable for me. Why am I like this?

This man planned the murders of an entire religious order while also wearing these sleeves.

Zero Company coming out only 3 weeks before Wolverine coming out 3 weeks before Galactic Rider is diabolical. I’m old. I can only obsess over one game at a time. Give me and my wallet some breathing room.

Yes, I bought the @hyperdicetv.bsky.social dice. Yes, I got them for my Dice Goblin friend. Yes, the starfield ones have tiny flecks of glitter and I may have to keep them for my own now. Dammit.

Most importantly, we’ll finally have Tommy back. Just Hulkling left and we’ve got a full Young Avengers roster, which I want so bad I could scream.

WandaVision and Agatha All Along have been my favorite Marvel projects maybe ever. I’m so insanely stoked for VisionQuest, you have no idea.

And don’t get me started on X-Men Legends. The fact that those have never been re-released in any format drives me up the wall.

20 years later and Marvel Ultimate Alliance is still the most in-depth of any Marvel game ever made. It’s a playable encyclopedia of comic book knowledge and the two sequels never quite captured it again. This has been my unsolicited rant.

Reminder that Gay Liberation exists because of the work of trans women of color, many of whom were sex workers to survive. Women like Sylvia and Marsha may be mentioned more often now but early groups like STAR are often left out of the Pride narrative because they’re considered “less respectable”.

Sylvia Rivera (left) and Marsha P. Johnson (right) stand together under an umbrella at a police line.

Sylvia Rivera stands beside a sign that reads “Street Transvestites Action Revolutionaries” in a Pride march.

Pride is an unabashed act of queer joy as civic rebellion; not a corporate tie-in. It’s not about what Fortune 500 company or government agency puts out a half-hearted tweet. That doesn’t and has never mattered. Pride persists and resists no matter what.

I’ve talked about it before but one of my grails is this 1939 World’s Fair uranium glass Saturn Lamp featured in Twin Peaks, Fire Walk With Me and The Return. Admittedly, it IS radioactive and I probably couldn’t just pop it on an end table…but I want it.

Sometimes I think about the Sy Snootles bust from Gentle Giant that I didn’t buy for $20 at a store’s Going Out Of Business Sale years and years back. I have whole failed human relationships I have no regrets over but THIS was one of my moral failings.

Carrie Fisher was equal parts brutal honesty and impish hilarity. She fought stigma, made art out of heartbreak and saved lives simply by being unapologetically herself and creating space in the world for people to do the same. That’s her true legacy. No space buns required. Thank you, Carrie. 💜🖕🏻💜
