I know there’s so much worse going on, but this just kinda hurt on a personal level. I have loved Catherine O’Hara my whole life. This was one of my favorite roles she did - I even dressed as Lydia this past Halloween. It’s just an extra thorn.

Had an incredible night of 1960’s surf rock and cosmic horror in Belmont Ma with Green Door Labs. Their Cthulhu Luau was as much fun as Club Drosselmeyer. I always get a kick out of being able to interact as a fictionalized version of myself- the librarian.

Well, it went very well. I did not beg for asylum.

So on Friday I have the honor of speaking in front of the Japanese consulate-general about the history and influence of anime in the USA. Would it be entirely uncouth to end with “And in conclusion, my country is a dumpster fire being raped by fascists. I want out.” Yeah probably.

Been listening to a lot of Red Hot Chili Peppers lately, especially stuff off one hot minute which was a huge album to me in my late teens. Good lord “My Friends” hits different at 47 than at 18. And it hard on me back then….

“There was nothing in the dark that wasn’t there when the lights were on.” -Rod Sterling, Nothing In The Dark: the Twilight Zone.

Today I am hosting a Spring Dinner for the witches and weirdos in my life. That’s the only resurrection I need: the resurrection of my faith in human beings. And it happens every time I see the folks I love.

One of my favorite books of my late childhood. It’s a good thing to remember.

Witness a murder.

“Any place, every place where there's hate, where there's prejudice, where there's bigotry. He's alive. He's alive so long as these evils exist. …He's alive because through these things we keep him alive.” -Rod Sterling, The Twilight Zone. “He’s Alive”

Miyazaki knows what’s up.

As a lover of novelty tarot decks, the fact that there is no Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Deck is a crime. The four turtles match the four suites perfectly, and so many characters work so well in the major arcana.

This is entirely silly but I had a yearly follow up at my cardiologist office today. On my way out I got a glance at my record on the computer on the room. It starts “Sarah is a very pleasant 47 year old” It was nice to see.

One of the things I hate about my brain is that it’s extremely hard for me not to be pessimistic. I generally keep it to myself because who wants to be that guy, but I can’t help but assume the worst. The other thing I hate is how much of the time I’m right about the things I’m pessimistic about.

I’m talking about women in comics at a library today and we’re going to talk about censorship by an authoritarian (McCarthy) and a lot of very Queer characters.

Okay, this is my newest very very favorite meme.

Without downloading any new pics, where are you mentally?

I saw this in English on Nickelodeon, but the original French is fun too. youtu.be/mEqPgCX1fbI?...

The Day The Earth Blew Up was a modern spin on a lot of classic Loony Tunes traditions. Lots of Easter eggs for classic animation fans, horror fans, and sci fi fans. Seeing it in the theater with other folks also adds to the experience. Highly recommend.

I checked. This is accurate. I sent a message to NPR to ask them to cover this and see if anyone else who is not a straight white man is also being erased and insulted. No idea if they will, but keep passing this around.

Dear Denmark: Absolutely tell us to piss all the way off. - Americans who can see what’s right in front of our faces. fortune.com/2025/03/14/e...

The driving philosophy of the Trump administration is white male supremacy. It’s not just that they don’t believe in bigotry or prejudice or racism, but if you’re anything but a straight white man, your contributions are false, awarded to you because of your identity, and must be deleted.

For everyone saying “But Massachusetts is blue. It’s safe.” This happened right here.

US govt has asked Denmark if they can export eggs as Americans face surging egg prices. The request coincides with a raft of new US tariffs on countries, including in Europe -- and also threatened economic sanctions unless Denmark hands over control of Greenland www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

We knew this was coming of course, the thing a fascist fears most is an educated public, but Trump officially has targeted The Institute of Museum and Library Services.

When Trump is praising you, you are doing it wrong. Full stop.

My Amazon account is closed finally. Between dropping this, and closing my Facebook and Twitter accounts I have felt a little bit satisfied. I only kept Amazon to order things for work, but I don’t even need it for that anymore. Obviously your mileage may vary but if you can, i recommend it.

Oh a slightly more cheerful note, all my meta accounts Permanently vanished this morning. It feels pretty good.

Found out something today that is just the cherry on my depression sundae lately. Been feeling particularly useless and listless lately and this is not helping. I will deal of course, I always do.

The show must go on.

And the shame was on the other side Oh we can beat them, for ever and ever Then we could be heroes, just for one day
