You're gonna laugh, but I have a lot of love for Legend with Tom Cruise and Tim Curry. How Tim Curry managed to chew the set that hard with horns that size is beyond my acting skill to comprehend. And the fact that Tom Cruise ran around saving unicorns from Satan with a motley crew of fairy sidekicks is a sentence gay enough to make me puke rainbows. I'm already gay, man, I puke rainbows all month during June.

Seriously, it's a good and awful movie. It has no plot, it's just aesthetic art. But if you want a really good fantasy movie about unicorns... The Last Unicorn. Full stop. It has made me cry since I was a child. Not a B Movie, just a cult classic.

But if you REALLY want a B movie? Time Bandits. How the hell Kenny Baker went from R2-D2 to one of the gremlin thieves on strike because God wouldn't let them have a turn on the time machine... I can't. And kidnapping The Generic English Schoolboy as their sidekick was just... interesting. At least Sean Connery did a great job as Agamemnon.

Queen Liliuokalani deserves to have her name heard. And the US and the Dole Corporation both owe Hawaiians their sovereignty back.

I'm still not over Firefly. Or the Orville.

That road, deadass, goes through five war zones. Hell no.

Was a mental health tech at a psych hospital. Ditto this, when it's the nurse's word against yours and the Ombudsman is already overworked and overwhelmed, you're cooked.

I tried to go to bat for my patients so often, but once the nurses and the aides burn out, they stop doing the job because they care and start doing the job because it's a job. I had nurses who told me to overchart patients so their insurance would pay more and they'd stay longer. Shady, shady shit.

Red Flag laws are used to remove guns from Trans, Latino, and Black people in red states too. It's not the solution to gun violence that people think it is. It was a good idea, but it ends up falling to paradox of the false positive and even being weaponized against minorities more often than not. It violates due process as well.

More comprehensive care for people with severe mental health issues and arresting and jailing domestic violence offenders their first time is more effective. Unfortunately, we just defunded public mental health, so...

If all of us flee to Canada, there will be no one left to fight back.

We love you for welcoming those of us who can't stay. But someone has to.
