V grateful was up for answering the copyright law question we received (tl;dr would printing out fic and putting it in a library be less ~illegal~ than something like the AO3) because and I would have just gone ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ idk maybe, maybe not???

Please note that I forced to take this picture to ~mirror Chris Evans's energy~ for the show notes. 😎
Side by side photos of Chris Evans in Knives Out and Flourish in their living room wearing That Sweater. Captioned WHO WORE IT BEST.

Film still of Daniel Craig as Benoit Blanc in Glass Onion, standing in a pool in a blue-and-white striped bathing costume, yellow ascot, and sunglasses, holding a drink.
Our newest special episode is live! On Glass Onion: sequels, the mystery genre, and the film on the first watch versus a rewatch. To listen or read a full transcript, become a patron at $3 a month or more! fansplaining.com/episodes/speci

The instability of streaming! AI (again)! And, of course, the collapse of Twitter! Plus FOOLISHLY only allowed me to talk about Interview with the Vampire for 5 minutes? (F doesn't log onto Twitter anymore so I can say whatever I want about them here going forward. 🥰)

And the final excerpt from our "Disability and Fandom" double episode, from one of our anchor guests, @valderie. Listen to our entire conversation with her or read a full transcript: fansplaining.com/episodes/186b-
Screenshot of text reading: [Accessibility] has to be something that everyone keeps in the forefront of their mind, because like I said, [disability] affects everybody. If it doesn’t affect you now, don’t worry, it will one day, when you get old and your body falls apart. So it’s something that people just need to care more about, and putting captions in and alt text and stuff like that is something that takes an extra minute or two out of your day, but to make it seem like it’s the end of the world to request that and that I’m ruining everybody’s fun, oh no! Like, OK, deal with it. Cope. How much fun am I missing out on in my daily life because I can’t do X, Y, Z? Oh, you didn’t get to do this thing. Too bad.

Many thanks to for prompting this convo, which I'm not sure we would have had otherwise. (That would have been a shame, because has a lot of experience/insight in this realm!) (Also please admire the "cherik fanart" Flourish made for me below lol)
