Hello Paul, I Hope You Enjoy Your Brownie.

"In the 70s it was black and minority ethnic people, in the 80s it was gay people, trans people are just the latest to get it in the neck from comedians who can't be bothered to try at their jobs anymore. I cannot stand there and watch another dogshit comedian go: 'Ooohh if a woman can identify as a man, maybe I'll identify as a chair!' Why don't you identify as good comedians, you hack motherfuckers?!"

The appalling travesty that was BBC’s Sherlock has infested the Sherlock Holmes fandom like a malignant tumour so I want you all to know how awesome the OG literary Holmes was:

The literary Sherlock Holmes was an autistic coded character before people knew what autism was.

The literary Sherlock Holmes was an explicitly aromantic character before people had a word for that.

Literary Holmes solved mysteries not merely for the intellectual stimulation but also out of a genuine desire to do good. He cared deeply about every client. HE WAS NOT A HIGH-FUNCTIONING SOCIOPATH! He could definitely be insensitive and blunt but he was not callous or unfeeling.

Literary Sherlock threatened to beat a guy who was being creepy with his own stepdaughter.

Literary Sherlock learned to grow past his misogyny after a woman outsmarted him.

In particular, he was always respectful to Mrs Hudson, never belittling or talking down to her (the otherwise enjoyable Guy Ritchie films screw this up too). In fact, they got along so well that they were actually a very popular ship back in the day.

Literary Holmes would NEVER call Watson an idiot. He was his only friend who he loved and respected, even if he did get frustrated with him sometimes. He didn’t need to belittle others to feel powerful.

Literary Holmes and Watson broke into a corrupt man’s house and witnessed him being murdered by a woman he was blackmailing. They knew exactly who she was but they let her get away because they were chaotic good like that.

Literary Holmes had HUMILITY: something a smug prig like Steven Moffat will never understand. He could be arrogant but he had a sense of humour and was willing to admit when he was wrong. And he was wrong sometimes because he was a flawed human being, not some gross male power fantasy.

Literary Holmes respected the working class and was often disdainful of the rich. In Victorian England!

Literary Holmes indirectly caused the death of a guy who abused (and implicitly molested) his daughters and he didn’t give a single fuck about it.

At the end of the series, Holmes retires to Sussex to keep bees. Beekeepers are awesome.

They are pulling Infinity Train ENTIRELY from HBO Max, along with more than 20 shows and movies (predominantly animation) as early as this week so if you’ve never watched this brilliant, groundbreaking series now may be your only chance until it disappears from streaming. Forever.

They will not be returning to the new merger app between Discovery and WB at all. They are GONE.

That tweet is from the creator of Summer Camp Island, who apparently learned about this decision from a fucking news article. David Zaszlav doesn’t see “kids’ programming” (read: the entire animation industry) as a viable pathway for his new app, so prepare for more cancellations. I would not be surprised if Craig of the Creek, Primal, Young Justice, or any other shows from Cartoon Network or Max Originals are suddenly axed from streaming this year. Absolutely infuriating and unjust for anyone that champions the artistry and importance of animation as a medium to tell stories. I am furious.

Make some noise about this on Twitter if you can, many folks in the animation industry are understandably furious and terrified for their careers.

Idk why my brain jumped to this, but the style of these guys reminds me of those old Frog and Toad books

Heartglass: A Modern Mythology

An audio fiction podcast about love, loss & giving 'em hell.

Now, I might be biased because I'm part of this show, but I've gotten a peek at the epic story, fantastic music, and lush sound design at work here, and this show is going to be really special. I play Allan Coleman, one of three people killed in a supernatural incident, who now spends his afterlife working at an ice cream shop in Hell. Allan is a trans man who is trying his damnedest to just have a normal one, despite the circumstances. I love these characters, and I've had so much fun already with lending my voice to Allan.

The campaign still has a ways to go to meet its goal by Feb. 28. Please consider helping to bring Heartglass to life!
