Utter cowardice. I remember being excited when the internet found Pixar's casting call a few years ago for a young trans actor to voice a 14-year-old trans girl called Jess. "She's compassionate, funny, and always has your back." Trans youth deserve to see positive portrayals of themselves in media
Incredibly disappointed in Disney and Pixar’s decision to bow to the shittiest people. Trans kids deserve representation, and they exist whether “many parents” want to discuss the subject or not. www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/d...

I think it’s quite interesting that the early drafts of a Barbie sequel have it as a gritty WW2 drama. Unusual, but I’ll withhold judgement until I see it.

The days in Japan where you could casually name your kid "Nausicaä" or "Pickachu" are coming to an end: a new revision to Japan's Family Registration Law will demand parents provide written defenses of so-called "kira kira" names. Learn more below.

This is just punishment for perceived… transgressions? Why would this ever matter? Just cruelty to deny people themselves.

I can’t be the only one who has a bit of an existential crisis whenever the motion sensing faucet doesn’t work, can I? Or am I just the only one who apparently doesn’t know how to use these consistently?

I just followed replies upstream on a “What is common knowledge in your field, but shocks outsiders?” Thread and it led me back to someone else I follow here, who I follow for completely different reasons. Pretty cool.

I don’t know this person or the restaurant or anything, but someone celebrating their sister’s success, which is verifiably well deserved, is awesome! Congratulations Aretah!

Thank you @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com for your conversation with Art Spiegelman in Orlando. It was delightful, fun, poignant, emotional, irreverent, and an utter pleasure. Thank you for resisting the badness that seems so prevalent here. And libraries… what a concept.

Sesame Street will be moving to a serialized season, the first of which will be a 12 episode arc that retraces Oscar’s backstory and origins of how he became a trash dweller and the terrible deduction that landed him there. Gripping drama.
Big news for Big Bird: Sesame Street plans to undergo a MASSIVE format change, with the loss of the magazine-style and a focus on narrative-driven storytelling.

@neilhimself.neilgaiman.com thabk you for coming to Florida (in a few weeks). It’s understandable that people would want to boycott Florida because of the horrible governor et al, but there are great people here who oppose that terribleness, and we need joy, too.
