We need more TV crossover events because that time Olivia Pope and Annaliese Keating got into it at the salon meant more to me than any cameo in any Marvel movie

Men in balaclavas set fire to a mosque in East Sussex last night. It's only appearing on the BBC's local coverage, rather than its main national headlines, despite coming just a week after the (also under-reported) firebombing of an asylum hotel in London last week

My emotional support Xena Warrior Princess DVD boxed set, one of my most cherished possessions tbh. I'm working on my Xena zine, I'll come up with a better title for it soon and will announce a preorder in November sometime. Whenever I finish it, basically.

Kinda ironic that a firing is the best way they came up with to honour Charlie Kirk
Yk considering that’s what his shooter thought was the best way to honour him
