+ The cast of Parks and Recreation came together in support of the SAG-AFTRA strike, which I heard about on Friday because I saw a bunch of tweets with Aubrey Plaza leading a lil horse around and then realized it was THEE Lil Sebastian! On her strike sign, Aubrey wrote: “Ann Perkins works for the AMPTP,” which is so many levels of funny to me. Still sending you all our love and support, writers and actors! Solidarity! (You’re 5,000 candles in the wind, Lil Seb!)

    • And can’t believe the worst left out The Last Sect (2006) which I feel I am the only person in the world who saw on late night TV which I was obsessed with for definitely 100% straight reasons.
