Longtime readers may be aware of how much I relish an excuse to bully a company, so I'm sharing the wealth;

Clothing company Patagonia is currently sueing drag queen Pattie Gonia for "irreparable” harm to their brand.

To be clear; Pattie named herself after the region in South America.

So Pattie is asking people to politely ask Patagonia to drop the lawsuit.

I'm extending the invitation to all of you, because sueing a drag queen for 'infringement' in the current political cultural landscape is vile. Especially a drag queen who has raised millions of dollars for non-profits, uses her platform to raise awareness for climate activism, and fully aligns with Patagonia's apparent climate-conscious mission statement.

They're claiming they're sueing for $1. They're actually asking her to stop using her name, and pay over $1 million in legal fees. They're straight up harassing her.

In contrast, drag queen Jan Sport has a Jansport bag line. It's that easy to just... work with a queen.

Anyway. Be respectful(ish), but feel free to be annoying on Patagnoia's socials, asking them to 'DROP THE LAWSUIT'

I think they have a twitter and tiktok too!

rereading your own fics/wips is a very slippery slope into finding out you actually have to finish your fics if you want them finished

To continue to talk a little about MST3K and what makes it special:

It basically pioneered the "commentary as comedy" style of media, and inspired a lot of later creators in terms of let's play content, and "snarking" commentary and reaction videos to things.

Back in the cable TV era, MST3K was the only media you could get that felt like "I'm hanging out with my friends in the TV", because yeah, it really did often feel like you were hanging out with the MST gang.

It was also great because they ran a lot of marathons (especially the now famous and still celebrated Turkey Day marathon), which was great for filling emotional space if you were feeling lonely. And often it ran late at night, so it was a good insomnia aid, as well, and it didn't really matter if you fell asleep half way through the show.

And that's not even getting into the *profound* effect it had on general nerd/geek humor in the 90s and early 2000s!

MST3K is very much a comfort show, for me. Something I can put on in the background when I need to feel both lightly entertained, and like I have some company in the room. I have a lot of warm and fuzzy feelings about it. I have spent so much accumulated time with them over the years, Mike, Joel, Gypsy, Crow, Dr. Forrester, Pearl and the gang are a little bit like friends.

Keep circulating the tapes!

The crazy thing is, ninety-nine times out of a hundred, if you asked me on any given day "Would like to see a picture of some genitals?" my answer would be "😰 No, that's... No, thank you. I'm okay, actually." I have nothing but the utmost respect for people who do engage with the penis side of the internet, but personally, I've spent the better part of two decades doing all I can NOT to have pictures of dick and balls or sexy bikini babe buttcheeks blasted onto my retinas constantly. And yet... to be denied the penis? To have a jumped up pile of javascript tell me, a grown adult with an air fryer and an outstanding council tax bill, that I cannot be trusted to withstand the sight of a bare nipple unless I let it scan my drivers' license? I will move heaven and earth to see that fucking nipple, friend. I will walk a thousand miles barefoot on hot coals before I give you big brother bitches my passport number. A thousand miles through the desert with five VPNs just to press my face up against the glass and see the last uncensored picture of two My Little Pony Characters sixty-nining each other, and I don't even want! to look at it! But I will! I must! for the sake of our fucking democracy!
