It’s travel season for my fellow college admissions counselors, and some of my comic con tabling friends so this is just a little reminder that you can book your hotel literally anywhere else this season!

Hey to all my travelers out there! A reminder that Hilton disenfranchised the hotel that cancelled ICE reservations and apologized to ICE durring metro surge as ICE agents were actively murdering and kidnapping Minnesota residents.

They host a party at the rainforest cafe in Seattle when it wouldn’t have existed there until 1999

They use distinctly Gen Z insults in the show, “pink isn’t a personality”

Elle’s best friend is named Madison, which was primarily a somewhat obscure boys name until 1984 when the movie Splash came out and it became a very popular girls name. A teen in 1995 would be just slightly too old for the name to have been popularized.

Mad Sparrow @madsparrow.bsky.social · 16/07/2026
Okay I’m gonna be really annoying on main- here’s a thread of historic inaccuracies I’ve noticed while watching amazons Elle (set in Seattle 1995) , a thread.

My pieces for the upcoming Send Me Across the Sea Vol. 7 show! I did these studies of bones, teeth, and other odds and ends I have around the place. The show opens on the 11th at Helvella Art. I wish I could be there to see everyone’s pieces in person!

Also, when my friend is having a hard time it makes ME feel better to get them a coffee or drive them to that thing. I want that opportunity to see my pal and tell them it’s gonna be fine because we are gonna do it together. I think you want that too.

Mad Sparrow @madsparrow.bsky.social · 10/06/2026
Anyway TLDR - it’s actually very good to let your friends help you. If they offer it, accept. You’re helping your friends by letting them help you and you’re building community.
020
Mad Sparrow @madsparrow.bsky.social · 10/06/2026
Anyway I still struggle to accept help so for me it helps to do something easy that WOULD help but doesn’t put anyone out. Like “hey I could use some moving boxes if anyone has any” or “if anyone wants to help, I’ll accept soup donations for recovery” ect.

Mad Sparrow @madsparrow.bsky.social · 10/06/2026
Let your friend bring you soup, or help you unpack, or drive you to the airport or sit in the waiting room for that appointment. You don’t have to do the hard stuff alone and your relationship will be stronger for letting people help you. You’ll have a turn to help them soon enough 6/6

Mad Sparrow @madsparrow.bsky.social · 10/06/2026
No one wants to see a love one struggle, and accepting offered help or coming up with an easy way for someone close to you to help you out will make them feel like you trust them and it’ll make you feel less alone in whatever it is that you’re dealing with 5/?

Mad Sparrow @madsparrow.bsky.social · 10/06/2026
He told me that when someone offers help in a specific way, or sees that you’re struggling and asks how they can help you, accepting that help is actually a kindness to that person. Especially if this is someone close like a friend or family member. 4/?

I told them one day something like “hey you guys are spoiling me and I feel like I can’t make it up to you” I felt like I was getting a favor I hadn’t earned and couldn’t pay back. 3/?

Mad Sparrow @madsparrow.bsky.social · 10/06/2026
I was staying with them over the summer before my junior year of college and they were being very very kind, they were taking me to shows, on trips, out to dinner, found me a temp job while I waited for an internship to start ect. And I felt really guilty about it. 2/?

I’ve been going through a kind of rough time in my personal life lately and while I don’t like talking about that on main it IS reminding me of some very good advice I got from an aunt and uncle a few years back that I’d like to share (thread 1/?)

lol I did, it was one of my favorite comics! But i think I get it, i just wrapped up my first graphic novel and the last like 3 months of working on it felt SO rough. Drawing comics is hard and they take so long!

I think sometimes it’s healthy to take a week or two off and enjoy a hobby, but also I’ll say that I think about your specific craftsmanship a lot! I loved Patrick the vampire and I often think of this one speech balloon you did where you wrote haha on the edge of the balloon.
