Mid-week! We made it! That feels like a pretty big accomplishment this week, tbh! And here is a Pop Culture Fix as a small reward!
+ I didn’t realize Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders play a lesbian couple in Death on the Nile! Probably because it’s only out in theaters and I’m not gonna risk my life to watch a movie that’s not Captain Marvel 2!
+ How I Met Your Father has been renewed for a second season.
+ Wanda Sykes, Amy Schumer, and Regina Hall will emcee the Academy Awards.
+ Meet the lesbian co-showrunner queering Star Trek: Discovery.
+ The 2022 Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame class includes some familiar gay faces.
The @WBHOF Class of 2022:
Becky Hammon
DeLisha Milton-Jones
Penny Taylor
Doug Bruno

+ Nine stories from queer figure skaters in their own words.
+ Daisy Ifma, of Netflix’s Twinkleberry, on growing up gay in the UK.
+ More on Twinkleberry, the “gayest ever” IRL class reunion.
+ DC has reintroduced Vixen, and this time she’s queer!
+ The complicated history of LGBTQ+ rep in Doctor Who.
+ The sublime Jeopardy swan song of Amy Schneider.
+ This isn’t gay but I really thought you’d want to know that Roy Kent met Oscar the Grouch.
+ Zoë Kravitz still isn’t over High Fidelity’s cancellation, and frankly neither are we.
…read Dawn French as Kate French for a second and now I want Hercule Poirot to go solve season 6 of the L Word.
feels like a job more for Inspector Clouseau…
Queer for Fear!!!! Exec produced by Bryan Fuller!!! You are doing noble work spreading this word Heather
i think it’s v interesting that the linked article only talks about america’s original (and better imo) backstory! her most recent solo series retconned the entire utopian parallel as a coping strategy she used as a child to make sense of her mothers pushing the boundaries of science to save her life from a disease. there was some speculation that that was an attempt to pave the way for a more MCU-friendly backstory since at the time there was only the one universe. spider-man introduced the multiverse, though, so i maintain hope that we get the utopian princess arc!
