As another bonus #Oscars    illustration I had to give recognition to the beautiful film '#Flow' by @gintszilbalodis.bsky.social. This one stood out for its unique approach to storytelling using only animals with no dialogue.

You can get Shortbus, We Need To Talk About Kevin, Wendy and Lucy, Andrea Arnold's Wuthering Heights, The Maid, Always Shine, and dozens of other movies, their posters, their scores on vinyl, for peanuts in this sale, while supporting a company that uses that graphic -- Oscilloscope rules
Oscilloscope aren’t on Bluesky so I’m dropping this here as they’re still the boldest company in the biz. Go support them.

Fuck these evil assholes.
New — The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) was told this week by DOJ that they'd lose their funding if the org didn't remove any mentions of LGBTQIA+ issues from their public materials, I've learned. Staff were told they need to deadname trans kids in their reports to comply.

14. Watch movie credits. All of them. First, why not take a moment to digest what you saw? Second, show the crew some love. Third, you’ll learn about the music and locations. Fourth, you never know if there will be a post-credits scene.

It feels like the end of an era, but it's not. THE LAST VIDEO STORE is your local public library!

Browse thousands of titles just like you used to. And many libraries carry video games too.

Make it a Blockbuster night? No, make it a library night!
