Good Monday to you, my friends, and welcome to your first Pop Culture Fix of the new week! It snowed like bananas here in NYC over the weekend and now the whole thing has turned into city sludge, so I am parked cozily inside my house with a cat in my lap and tea in my mug and I’m ready to see what in the world this week’s* gonna throw at me.

* the finale of And Just Like That


+ Am I OK? is coming to HBO Max!

+ I got way behind on Marvel shows because my wife and I were watching all the Marvel movies from start to finish in order, and she was determined not to watch the shows until it was time to watch them on our movie timeline. So! I just finished up Hawkeye last week! And immediately went to check out one of my favorite YouTubers — queer, disabled genius Jessica Kellgren-Fozard — to see what she had to say about the show’s deafness. I thought you might like to see too!

+ Natalie shared this New Yorker profile of Lorraine Hansberry over the weekend and it was one of the best things I’ve read so far this year!

+ Cameron Esposito will be a guest star when A Million Little Things returns on February 23rd.

+ Encanto’s Jessica Darrow is ready to be your new queer crush.

+ There’s big rumors about And Just Like That coming back for a second season. Or, as The Cut calls them, “threats.” 

+ “Being adored by gay people” is all Yellowjackets star Liv Hewson has ever wanted.

+ Corrie star Amanda Barrie says she’d have been fired from the soap if she’d come out as bi in the 80s.

+ The Human Rights Campaign has cut Netflix from its annual Corporate Equality Index after it released and stood behind Dave Chappelle’s transphobic 2021 special, The Closer.

+ The queer legends who attended Degrassi over the years.

+ Where is queer rep in video games right now?

+ The heartiest heartthrob Melissa King is on Cameron Esposito’s Queery podcast this week.

+ T’Nia Miller chatted with Geeks of Color about La Fortuna, working with Stanley Tucci, and more.

+ WNBA champion / Olympic gold medalist / gay gal Stefanie Dolson is heading to the New York Liberty, and I, for one, am ECSTATIC.
