Spooky season starts on the equinox and goes to the solstice. Xmas and new years are for clearing out the spookies. Advertising for Xmas decorations on Oct 1 is a crime.

The Academy of Natural Sciences is based in Philly, of course, but its collections matter internationally. Make that clear to Drexel President Merlo. Be polite but firm. Phone: 215 895 2100 Again- they think this will blow over. We need to get louder. Make it clear that we won't accept this.

I took a trip up to Philly last weekend to see the Academy of Natural Sciences for the first time since I was...7? The Dinosaur hall is more or less how I remember it, and still just as awe-inspiring.

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

I really cannot think of a greater honor than to have the Muppets say this about you upon your passing

Instagram post from the official Muppets account: Few humans have earned the title of honorary Muppet more than the legendary Tim Curry. As a performer he was unparalleled - witty, charming, unnerving, and deeply funny. We will always consider it one of our greatest treasures to have been part of Long John Silver’s crew. Thank you for everything, Tim.
