The way forward is together, not over the bodies of our own.

Incredible time Saturday meeting up w/ @leahfromsd.bsky.social & seeing @thehorrormaster.bsky.social LIVE (or is it THEY LIVE?) in concert @ #BelascoLA. His brilliant compositions… from his films and his albums…pack a *huge* punch played live, including a track from his upcoming new album CATHEDRAL.

Unless they are guarding Midgard against…invasion by Frost Giants? Okay, now the name makes sense.

Delightful series of events. Saw this great spin on the California Flag at a @50501movement.bsky.social #NoKings rally and posted a photo to @gailsimone.bsky.social @bsky.app
where the artist who *created* it, @geekfilter.bsky.social, ID’d himself & pointed me to merch.
Thanks, Aaron. Thanks, Gail.

BLACK PHONE 2 hit me so hard there’s a crater. Phenomenal & chilling sequel, was not ready for the thrills, scares, mystery, & pathos it elegantly delivers. Gorgeous, smart camerawork and sound immerse you in Gwen & Finn’s world, and #MasonThames & #MaddyMcgraw astound.
See. It. Big. ASAP.

People are melting down at a Tribune article about CHSD 230 considering adding Arabic to its language learning electives. I wasted time in the comments, which I normally avoid doing since it's useless and awful, but it led to possibly the funniest thing anybody's ever said to me about France.
