Respect basic human dignity. It’s that simple.

We weren’t a magazine family, since those cost money, but I had #49 (Empire Anniversary), #50 and #54 (Indiana Jones 20th Anniversary Double Issue). Those poor issues got a lot of mileage. Wish I still had them somewhere.

Ten year old me used to read the pull quotes from Insider #50 into my tape recorder and pretend I had a Star Wars talk show with celebrity guests. It’s sad to see them go.

Carrie Fisher was equal parts brutal honesty and impish hilarity. She fought stigma, made art out of heartbreak and saved lives simply by being unapologetically herself and creating space in the world for people to do the same. That’s her true legacy. No space buns required.

Thank you, Carrie. 💜🖕🏻💜

Leia has to juggle a dead husband and brother, a son cosplaying her dead Nazi dad, a sand orphan wanting training in a religion she doesn’t really follow and also leading the remnants of a dying rebellion against a galactic fascist government.

Just another Tuesday for her.

It’s October, so I have an excuse to recommend four of my favorite nonfiction titles that cover the New England Witch Trials for my spooky history nerds who aren’t already @hollyfrey.bsky.social.

My wallet don’t stretch like that these days, Mondo. You’re on punishment until further notice for this one…but also good on you for doing something with this license.

Unsolicited recommendation for the 4K remaster of GALAXINA.

Pride is looking hate in the eye and experiencing joy as an act of defiance. It isn’t asking for permission; even acceptance. It’s celebration with or without it.

It’s not corporate synergy, a special T-shirt or some block party sponsored by Verizon. It can’t be bought or sold.

Pride is rebellion.

I logged into the Disney Animal Crossing game just to get Artoo as my pet companion. I may or may not have almost cried when he gave me a little heart hologram.

Yes, I am very much in a depressive episode. How can you tell?

Today is Easter. Here is a rabbit.

Canon Question:
Are we all reading rabbit media because we subconsciously know Easter is coming or because we all feel like small, psychic bunnies dreaming of blood on the hills?

(I know I should make some kind of cheeky Jaxxon joke but, frankly, I am a small and frightened bunny too tired to try.)

Without saying your age, who was your first animated crush?

(She was an actual tomato with a roller derby name. So analyze that.)

8 year old me watching ESB for the first time was so disappointed to find out they apparently still had the concept of “hell” in space wizard land.

1986 was a hell of a year.

My LF Deep State Internet Conspiracy Theory™️ is that @philszostak.bsky.social continues to withhold The Eye of Webbish Bog from ME personally as a punishment and the rest of you are just unlucky bystanders.

He is my own personal Pablo Hidalgo because I’m different than you posers. Pablo is so 2016.

I’ll awake the wrath of the internet but I need to speak my truth:

Wind Waker is the best Legend of Zelda game in its legendary series.

Final Fantasy IX is the best FF game in its legendary series.
