1-866-952-4456 to tell Netflix that in no way do you want Elon fucking Musk determining what you watch.

I just called, got through in about 15 seconds, and told them that I strongly support queer inclusion in their programming and that I will cancel my subscription if they cave.

Val and I checked repeatedly because we simply couldn't believe no national or local news organizations covered this letter from 18 AGs in support of trans youth care and against FTC overreach.

If you find any stories, let us know, but it seems to be our exclusive.

Your work means the world to me, and I'm so sorry these people are spreading such pointless harm & hatred. Wishing you better on the other end of all this!

Living in this era means the queer & trans art that was celebrated, invited & encouraged 5 years ago is now being hounded & harassed in spite doing everything right.

My heart goes out to Hamish Steele. What's happening now is unforgivably cruel & senseless.

I just got a VERY interesting email that allies in congress were upset that so many of my readers were calling about the anti-trans provisions. I'm here to say: good. I won't let them throw our rights under the bus by cover of night.

All's that to say, keep up the calls. They're hearing you.

Local Seacoast NH Snapshot - Week of September 26th, 2025

Back to seeing things! Lotta things I hardcore do not care about at all out there, but some vitally good stuff out there, still. Can't catch LOST BUS, though. Evening shows are my bane, especially since NH public transit's getting gutted.

Ironically - & grimly - this is wider promotion than Netflix ever gave it. Most people, even in comic & animation-centric worlds, don't even know it exists.

I tell people about the only trans-led animated series, with stellar autistic representation & a wholesome, loving vibe, and they go "huh?"

One advantage we have over the antifascists of old is the ability to widely disseminate footage that makes our enemies look like jokes

"When ICE grabbed Rodney, he was in the process of receiving new prosthetic legs. The detention centre is refusing to let him have a day pass to go get them, so his health is declining."

Same goes for public schools, colleges, and universities.

The rumoursโ€“ not rumoursโ€“ are true. Ppl in the #animation industry are, still, at the receiving end of greed, mergers, job cuts, capitalism, AI, unfair wages.. I could go on and on. We're trying to make animation still happen in the indie space. FOLLOW US if you support the #IndieAnimation movement!

Call your senators and your house rep.
Make a stink by being clear that abandoning trans adults and children is a no-go.
Cis people, call and be loud for us. We are tired.

I mean, we don't really need *another* reason to re-watch End of Evangelion, however fitting it may be.

I like Jimmy Kimmel. I really do. I have no issues with him.

I'm talking about something very different.

Kimmel was only suspended. But he's back now. Karen Attiah and all the other Black journalists are still fired.

Y'all do know how to fight, when you want to.

But you don't really want to. ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿฟโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Had no time for new films this week, but oddly not such a bad thing. HIM and ABBBJ both don't look particularly necessary. I've rarely so needed a cinematic dry-spell. Still a few things worth seeing though.

What's great about the Tylenol reveal is it'll cause unnecessary pain & death, and it won't solve autism cause it doesn't cause autism, but all these people will be dead before people realize that & force them to face consequences.

If Disney doesn't treat this as just a start before making more moves to win back trust, then they're just postponing ruin.
