Pedro Pascal as Renaldo from a Saturday Night Live sketch in a dark blue shift holding a microphone stands next to a book cover featuring a black woman with an updo in a white top. Text at the top says 'Hey, readers! Came all this way, had to explain, direct from Renaldo. You should Once Upon a time in Dollywood pronto.'

A blue and purple book cover for A Method For Magic and Misfortune by Craig Kofi Farmer. Set on a street in New York with many houses

Audrey Nuna committed to the bit and wore a sleeping bag in honor of Mira to the #vmas. She won the night
