Pop Culture Fix: Get Ready for “Crush,” Hulu’s New “Very Gay” Rom-Com

Well, Birder King TV has overtaken Bird Bonanza TV at our house, and Socks loves it so much — especially the ones where chipmunks squabble over peanuts — that he got some new accessibility stairs so he can get close to his new wildlife pals, safely. (He has an accessibility ramp, but it’s better as a transition aid to get up and down; the stairs allow him to really lounge around and enjoy his shows!)
