I love that there are going to be academic papers on this - this clip included.

“I don’t understand it. But I’m like, you know what, you freaks? Yo gung ho, you get it. If you can get fictional me pregnant, knock him up.” -Hudson on fan fictions stories of him being pregnant via tryquinn on Tiktok!

The success of RWRB has been pivotal in proving that joyful queer projects with happy endings ARE commercially viable. You don't have to like it, but actively shitting on it for a hit tweet is shortsighted and won't help the queer media you DO like in the way you think it will.

what i hate most about this ongoing rwrb hate train is that it mostly comes from fans of other queer shows you don’t have to like everything just bc it’s queer, but at least have some respect, bc past queer media is the reason your fave got greenlit in the first place

That teenagers now resist getting their licenses is wild to me. We were GONE. School, jobs, friends’ houses, shopping, stopping somewhere on the way home …no one was keeping tabs/tracking us.

Burt Lancaster passed away OTD in 1994. Lancaster was the first star to have his name placed on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. 'Moonlight' Graham in Field of Dreams (1989) was his final role. Ray Liotta's, 'Hey, Rookie. You were good,' still sends tingles down the spine.

On the back of this thread, I got the opportunity to write about the desperate lack of books for teen boys in @thebookseller. Massive thanks to @mollyflatt for letting me write on an issue I'm hugely passionate about. Link: tinyurl.com/3mwnrczs

Pals, are we ready to have the 'there is nothing out there for teen boy readers' discussion yet? Because the more I hear 'I can't find anything I like' from them during my school visits, the more I grow convinced publishing has forgotten about the post-Middle Grade boys.

The reason your brain associates them this way is because of the artwork of Alan Lee and John Howe for Tolkien’s writing. It’s easy to see why they chose these styles. They also worked on designs for the Jackson LOTR trilogy. Hence why we all just seem to “know” which is which.
