I often find myself googling old bands whenever I'm making playlists for @queerdiary.bsky.social so I know I'm super late to the party, but have to share because I was delighted to discover this about Fat Mike from NOFX
Wikipedia screenshot: Tavern.[18] He has been into BDSM for years: he has had a dungeon in his house.[19] Fat Mike has numerous tattoos, including one on his left arm that features a golfing dominatrix and her bound caddy.[20] When discussing the NOFX song "Fuck Euphemism", for which he wrote the lyrics, he discussed how he describes himself as queer: "I live a BDSM lifestyle and I'm a crossdresser, so it did bother me when people were calling me a cis male. I like the whole thing of defining yourself using your own terms, because I'm a punk rocker first, and then a submissive crossdressing male. The transgender community and the gay community are taking a stance on how we want to be known, and I'm going to be known as a certain way."[21]

Do I think about horror movies too much or does this dog i just saw on fb look like drew barrymore in Scream?
A small white dog being held in someone's arms. It has long floppy ears and tufty eyebrows that look a bit like a fringed blonde bob, curly white legs, big brown eyes and a slightly worried expression. Drew barrymore in Scream. She has a blonde fringed bob haircut, and a white sweater, and holds a white phone to one ear. She has big brown eyes and a slightly worried expression.

Q for 90s kids/UK TV historians/Jurassic Park nerds:
I have a vivid memory of watching Jurassic Park on TV as a kid (pre-2000), wearing this type of 3D glasses.
Is this a real memory?
Or am I conflating 2 exciting TV events?

Fave part of dipping my toe into tour-booking for our show is the specificity of some theatres' programming guidelines.

"I'm getting in touch as our work aligns with your priorities of supporting queer & accessible new writing, and *checks notes* firmly banning horrendous bigots"
