Rob Kirby @robkirbycomics.bsky.social · 17hI still love this T-shirt we saw in a gay-owned restaurant in Eureka Springs Arkansas about a year ago. Never have I seen such truth captured in this way. BTW Somehow or other these groups all seemed to basically get along in this town. 050

Rob Kirby @robkirbycomics.bsky.social · 03/09/2026A few years ago I found out that in the early 60s, Steinem worked with James Warren, the publisher of Famous Monsters of Filmland and other horror-related magazines that I’d loved as a teen in the late 70s. That amazing factoid just made her all the more cool to me. RIP to a legend. 130
