They just hit 73% and I promise you helping strangers on the internet will make this week feel just a little less hellish.
In case you find spreadsheets overwhelming but want to help some of the Black families of Eaton out.
Their last name stood out (we’re not related) and they are one of the many GFMs that could use support.

Less than two hours to go! Make a donation to St. Jude to name my Jedi Exile whatever you want, pick their lightsaber color, make them good or evil, etc. Happy to start the whole game over from character creation if it helps out some families:
If you’d like to contribute to St. Jude, you can go through the main Fallout for Hope campaign or my own Tiltify—it all gets counted as part of the same grand total. If you do make a donation through my fundraiser, you can name my KotOR II character and choose their personality, appearance, etc.
Tiltify - Made for Fundraisers
We give you the tools to engage with your donors and raise more for your charity

My internet will not fail me tonight! We’re raising money for St. Jude as part of the Fallout for Hope initiative, and you can decide our Jedi Exile character’s name, appearance, playstyle, lightsaber(s), personality, fashion, and more by making a small donation to help kids with serious illnesses 🤍
Xfinity and Illinois winter weather have decided that we’ll be doing this tomorrow instead. Join us at 9 p.m. Central on Monday, December 15, for a viewer-driven charity run of Knights of the Old Republic II. We’ll start fresh with character gen again and go from there! Thanks for understanding. 🤍

It’s been two weeks since ICE took Yuanxin Zheng from his father. He is six years old. He’s still not home. This has to end.

today’s information came out piecemeal, and people should be able to share their own situations on their own time, but I could share this much ^ as it is pretty cut and dry on the facts.

When I met Ryan Coogler several years ago, we were standing in a group of people chatting, when a woman with visible hearing aids walked up, and he casually began to sign the whole conversation so she could participate. She mouthed “thank you”. He nodded and just kept doing his thing.
‘Sinners’ on Max Will Include a Black American Sign Language Version
‘Sinners’ on Max Will Include a Black American Sign Language Version
Max will debut Sinners in the U.S. on Friday July 4, when viewers will be able to watch it two ways: by 1) streaming the exact theatrically-released version, and 2) choosing Sinners in Black American Sign Language (BASL). It’s the first time a streaming service has interpreted a film into BASL, Warner Bros. says.

Just finished Andor. What an epic journey into revolution and all the characters and intricacies that make it whole. Thank you, Tony Gilroy 😭. (A Rogue One rewatch is on the calendar now).

RESULT: Voters in Mansfield, Texas, have ousted three conservative members of their local school board tonight.
This is a school board that has been at the frontlines of book-banning in Texas, as you can see here: fortworthreport.org/2025/03/19/m...

If Sterling K. Brown (Paradise), Noah Wyle (The Pitt), Adam Scott (Severance) and Jacob Anderson (Interview with the Vampire) could all make it into the Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series Emmy category, that would be most excellent to me.

John Boyega was born on this day in 1992. We loved him in his feature film debut, Attack the Block, and can't wait to see him back as Moses in Joe Cornish's upcoming sequel.
