Uggi the dog meeting a cat. Both look very sceptical.

Good morning

This has always been a extremely tiny screeching minority demanding that their bigotry dictate that no one else's children can learn of the existence of LGBTQ people.

Haha yes I see how it can look like that! Hadn't noticed it before!

I'm so proud of my sister, who was head writer for Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood and is now the showrunner of this brand-new HORTON! series for Netflix.

Please watch with your family! It's hard to get preschool shows made these days, and the algo isn't built for this www.netflix.com/title/81388347

Came across this long-ago Frances McDormand interview (with Cameron Crowe) and found this gem:

A ghostly Chinese woman with dead white eyes stares out from a stylised black and green ocean, her face surrounded by billowing gold foam

THE HIGHLY ANTICIPATED NEW NOVEL FROM THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE BOOK EATERS A haunting dark urban fantasy set in a historical Hong Kong, where ancient myths and local legends combine in a story of ghosts, grief and women who will not forgive. Mercy Chan is a triad exorcist with a mysterious past. After washing up on the shores of Hong Kong with no memory during World War II, she found a home in Kowloon Walled City, an infamous, ghost-infested slum full of lost and traumatised civilians. Since the war ended, Mercy has rebuilt her life and found work as a ghost-talker for the local triad, dealing with the angry and bitter spirits who haunt this place. But the past she can’t remember won’t let her go. An unusually powerful ghost lurks in Kowloon’s waterways, drowning innocents and threatening the district. Unnervingly, it claims to know Mercy—and her forgotten childhood. As Mercy is drawn into a deadly cat-and-mouse game with this malignant spirit, she begins to realise that the monster she fights within these walls may well be one of her own making.

It'll never be lost on me that a particular subset of the liberal commentariat in both North America and Western Europe were deeply infatuated with this woman up until the very moment she decided to talk about that one issue you're still basically not allowed to talk about lol.

If you like yelling about misuse of the passive voice, THIS IS IT.

The LA Public Library research librarian explaining what is going on with Charli and Taylor is outstanding work
