I just added a new resources page to Black & White & Read All Over for independent scholars.
This page has two lists, Open Access Research sites and Job Listings, but can have much more! What else would you like to see for resources?

In cartoon news, Tubi just revealed practically the entirety of the classic Warner Bros/Hanna-Barbera/Cartoon Network library is coming to the platform this March.
For those who don't wanna visit the bird site, here's the full list of what's coming.
Since this is going to be an issue, and I don't like doing it, a bit of a clarification is necessary.
Tubi is NOT owned by FOX News, but the two units share the same corporate owner, Fox Corporation.
They are completely autonomous from each other nor directly financially support each other.

This must be the biggest gap in critic and user scores in Rotten Tomatoes history.
The "Melania" doc is not listed on Box Office Mojo, which is owned by Amazon via IMDb. "Melania" is distributed by Amazon MGM Studios.
B.O. Mojo reports on ALL box-office revenue, even commercial bombs & critical disasters—incl. Zyzzyx Rd, which made THIRTY DOLLARS in 2006 at one theater in Dallas!
