EVERYONE! See Forgotten Island before it leaves theaters! It's as if a Filipino who was deeply affected by Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind was raised on anime, Tumblr, and was not-so-secretly a furry, got to animate a movie. So fun and heartfelt. Dreamworks have really been killing it.

I think another lesson to take from the loss of both Dolly and Tim Curry is that neither of them took themselves seriously but they took the work dead serious that's the most important thing pour all of yourself into the craft but have fun and don't get an ego.

Here's the official announcement of Parton's passing from her reps, along with the request that in lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com

NASHVILLE, TN (August 25, 2026) – Global icon and humanitarian, Dolly Parton, known to the world as a beloved singer, songwriter, philanthropist, actress, playwright, and author died peacefully today in Nashville, Tennessee. She was 80 years old.

Dolly is preceded in death by her beloved husband of 59 years Carl Thomas Dean (1942 – 2025), her mother Avie Lee Caroline Owens (1923 – 2003), and father, Robert Lee Parton, Sr. (1921 – 2000).

A rhinestone life that shone bright enough for the world to see, Dolly will forever stand as an inspiration not only through her timeless music and prolific songwriting, but also her wit, warmth, and kindness that made us all feel like family. Dolly Parton’s legacy is one of love, compassion, and resilience. With a seven-decade career, she inspired multiple generations of artists and fans with her music and an unwavering commitment to making the world a better place. Her songs will continue to resonate with people of all ages, and her philanthropic work will have a lasting impact.

At Dolly’s request, a small, private service will be held for immediate family. Dolly’s fans and friends from around the world are encouraged to pay tribute to Dolly on social media by tagging @DollyParton or by leaving a message at www.dollyparton.com.

In lieu of flowers the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com.

Omg...so @penguinbooksusa.bsky.social sent me a copy of their newest Little Golden Book: Naruto's Ninja ABCs! This is absolutely adorable & I can't wait to give it to my nephews (They're the perfect age for something like this!) Wild to think we can get anime Little Golden Books for kids now, huh?

The cover of a Little Golden Book: "Naruto - The Ninja ABCs!". The artwork shows cute, chibi versions of Sasuke, Sakura, and Naruto.

Art of Kakashi, Sasuke, Naruto, and Sakura. The text says, "A is for Adventure. The life of a ninja is full of adventure!"

A portrait of Tsunade, underneath it reads, "P is for Powerful. Tsunade is a powerful ninja! Her fists can pack quite a punch!". Under that is art of Hinata with the text, "Q is for Quiet. Hinata is quiet, but fierce in battle!" On the opposite page, art of Sasuke & Naruto looking like they're battling, with the text: "R is for Rival. Though they may not see eye to eye, rivals help each other improve their skills!"

The final page once again shows Team 7 together. The text reads, "Z is for Zero. At first, Naruto felt like a zero...but his fellow ninja helped him see that he could be a hero!"

If you've ever done historical newspaper research, you understand how vital AP was to get non-local news out. We already lost UPA a couple decades ago, and now this. The harder it gets for people to access free non-local press the more susceptible we will be to propaganda and fake news.

I know you get a lot of "call your representatives" requests, but this is a big one. Not only does this violate the understanding in the U.S. that library decisions rest at the local level, but it specifically targets books by, about, and for trans people. That's discrimination, plain and simple.
