Renee Good matched so many of the media's "perfect victim" qualities: she was an attractive, white, blonde, Christian mom, but because she was queer and liberal, they had to see her as a monster.

I can't bear to imagine how much more blatant the misogyny could have been if her more butch-presenting wife had been the one killed...

I haven't seen this, but Jane Hamilton is one of the better actresses of the '80s adult film industry, so my curiosity is piqued...

worth remembering, David Lynch directed “fix your hearts or die” specifically at transphobes. it wasn’t a generic “no mean people allowed” statement, it was said by his Twin Peaks character in defense of a trans woman he cared for and deeply respected.

A page from Nick Fury, Agent of SHIELD #15. A sniper takes aim at Nick Fury during a music festival, while Country Joe & the Fish sing "Sweet Martha Lorraine" ("Now she's the one who gives us all those magical things/And reads us stories out of the I Ching..."). As the music goes into a crescendo, the sniper fires at Nick Fury.

Farewell to the great singer/songwriter Country Joe McDonald. A bizarre comics connection: Country Joe & the Fish had a prominent appearance in Marvel's Nick Fury, Agent of SHIELD #15 (Nov. 1969, by Gary Friedrich, Herb Trimpe, Dick Ayers & Sam Grainger).

ONE STEP: The Camera Angle That Changes Everything | Renée Good & ICE YouTube video by Nuance

I know it won't change the minds of anyone who NEEDS to see it, but this is a pretty insightful analysis of the Renee Good footage. (And I'm still upset that it's been two months and no closer to justice.)

A selfie of Renee Nicole Good and Becca Good sitting in their car, smiling and wearing matching reflective sunglasses. Reflected in their sunglasses is the car's glovebox with their son's stuffies sticking out of it.

March 7. Two months and still waiting on justice.
This photo that's been shared of happier times becomes especially heartbreaking when you see the glove compartment full of stuffed toys reflected in their sunglasses.

The pressbook of "Deliverance," autographed by actor Billy Redden ("The Banjo Kid").

I got to meet Billy Redden at last year's Monsterama convention, and I got him to sign the Deliverance pressbook for me. (He was also offering autographed banjos at his table...I don't know if anyone bought any, but I'm sure some collector must have.)
