I'm always fascinated seeing who in an insanely popular ensemble TV cast breaks out post-show and becomes a big star. Sometimes it's obvious, like Jennifer Aniston or George Clooney and sometimes its a weird surprise, like Chris Pratt or Evangeline Lily. Anyway, I'm just happy for Wile E. Coyote

Dolly Parton asked about trans rights: "I just want everybody to be treated good... I just see how broken-hearted they get over certain things and I know how real they are. I know how important this is to them. That’s who they are. They cannot help that any more than I can help being Dolly Parton."

In honor of Dolly, I'd like to give away some of my middle grade books to teachers who are having trouble getting books into their classrooms. I have Mine, Camp Scare, and Ride or Die on the Horror side and Minecraft Mob Squad on the Fantasy/Gaming side. I'll give away 4 mailers with 3 books each.

My first real grown-up apartment had a goose statue in the lobby that the elderly landlady would dress in seasonal garb. Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, St Patrick’s Day. The building was “Live Love Laugh,” that is literally who I wrote checks to

Thrilled and honestly still shocked to report I’ve been accepted to this year’s @viableparadise.bsky.social workshop. Will I regret watching Widow’s Bay before traveling to a New England island and discussing science fiction/fantasy/horror for a week? Let’s find out!

My fellow cis folks, The FCC is asking Americans to submit comments about whether the TV Oversight Management Board (TVOMB) should create new TV ratings to alert viewers to trans/gender content. Time to be an ally and tell the FCC absolutely the fuck not. It takes five minutes to do.

1000%. There are studies that show this! I always notice a different (often better) outcome when writing by hand. And the students I tutor clearly retain the information better.

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN. ☎️: (202) 224-3121 Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid. The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING. Call retiring Senators too!
