I am a straight dad, and I agree, that's effed up.

Here's a Gofundme that goes to her kids' college funds: gofund.me/db6e5f1d2

Send one up for her husband and 5 kids. It will take an army of us to fill the hole she leaves behind.

If you've ever thought about foster adoption, message me! I'll tell you all about it.

And if you're not already designated to be an organ donor, sign up!

RIP Laura, you made a difference!

She continued to pour out love and her body gave healthy organs that saved lives.

We're not all cut out to be so extremely unselfish and dedicated as Laura, to love so fiercely, to give so freely... but we can all try to be just a little bit better because of her.

If you're the type to pray...

Being an adoptive parent so much that she and her husband adopted 4 kids in addition to their biological child, some with complex disabilities. Laura became a full time stay at home mom and she LOVED it.

And then she developed a brain bleed. And now she's gone.

But even as she left this plane...

🧵 I want to tell you about my friend Laura. Laura is a hero. Many years ago, my wife and I enrolled in training courses to become eligible for foster adoption. We bonded with other people in the classes and stayed in touch. Several of us had successful foster adoption experiences. Laura loved...

But one ROM is slinging a Robo-Pizza!

a man in a blue scrub top stands in front of a wall with three buttons on it that say ' power ' Alt: a man in a blue scrub top stands in front of a wall with three buttons on it that say ' power '. This is a GIF of a scene from the Star Trek episode "Spock's Brain". The man is Doctor McCoy, and animated text shows his line "HIS BRAIN IS GONE!"

Reading about the degrading effect of AI use on our cognitive abilities and coming to the startling realization that "Spock's Brain", roundly considered the worst Star Trek: TOS episode, was actually prophetic.

What's a good shipping address for @gailsimone.bsky.social ?

The college admissions game is bananas now compared to our time. The marketing, the gaming of numbers, universities building rock walls in the student center while they slash budgets for classes and raise tuition... it is disorienting to say the least. Did I mention the private consultants?

I sincerely hope the Major General is OK. That said, this is literally the second episode of The X-Files, which is just wild. www.cnn.com/2026/03/11/u...

I also wish to say "pleasseeee PLEASEEEEE". Would be so cool to see on the big screen.

Sephora should have a parent/spouse activity center so we're not just standing around staring at our phones.

"The Shield of the Americas" sounds a lot like some kind of secret police to me...

We've lost too many friends from that era. Greg Hoffman, Bobby Newmeyer, Gary Marshall, Sam Mercer, Sam Cassell, Roberta Gorski, Jose Payo, Carrie Fisher, and now Andrew. He was such a good guy.

Wait til I tell you how Disney passed on Marvel for 25 Million then bought it a decade later for 4 Billion.

Paraphrasing: "You can be a genius and be kind." So many people in Hollywood missed that memo, so wonderful that Catherine O'Hara did not.

What is your Star Trek project that only you would love?

A Discovery spinoff with Michael and Booker roaming the galaxy to save endangered animals.

And Discovery is my least favorite ST series.

Only if you're near the stands.

Thou shalt keep it real.

Remembering the extraordinary Dwayne McDuffie on his birthday. Co-founder of Milestone Comics, creator of Static, DCAU producer and one of the best writers the franchise ever had.

I've been wondering the same thing. @rothschildmd.bsky.social , you got a bead on those guys?

This is triggering.

Normally I wouldn't, but on Fat Tuesday eating a second slice of pie counts as a religious observance.

I do!

I decided to pare back my Following list to make my account look less like a Growth Hacker but they're all pretty great follows so I guess from now on you'll just have to call me Botty McBotFace.

See also Suits, Star Trek Voyager, etc. In one corner of the industry they tell you it's too expensive to make 20+ episodes a season, in another they tell you not to worry about production value because everyone is watching on their phone. Good times.
