Gooooood Wednesday to you, pals! Thank you so much for your interest in Bird Bonanza TV, which I introduced in Monday’s Pop Culture Fix. Here is an update!
Socks injured his back and was paralyzed last summer. He learned to walk again but can’t jump. Or, well, *couldn’t* jump — until five seconds ago when he leapt up on the credenza to fight the squirrels on Bird Bonanza TV. pic.twitter.com/6mizg7wO14

And here is your queer pop culture news link round-up!
+ Sue Bird chatted with People about Corona (the beer, not the virus), her personal style, wedding planning, and her final season in the WNBA. This is really just a Corona advertisement disguised as an interview, and frankly, I don’t care. If I’m have to see the damn Mannings everywhere with their national sports endorsements, at least I can see Sue Bird too. Anyway, for their wedding, Sue and Megan will be having Corona and you will be wearing whatever makes you comfortable. I hope Ashlyn Harris wears one of those shorts tuxes again.
+ So the CW has announced a whole lot of renewals, including Nancy Drew, but SUSPICIOUSLY ABSENT from the list is: Batwoman, Naomi, All American Homecoming, Legends of Tomorrow, and Legacies.
+ Grace and Frankie will be back for one last season on April 29th. (With DOLLY PARTON GUEST STARRING.)
+ HBO has renewed Che Diaz in the City for a second season.
+ A love letter to Gentleman Jack.
+ Marvelous Mrs. Maisel creators address Susie’s lesbian bar reactions.
+ Here’s the real reason why Amber Benson declined a Buffy comeback.
+ Apex Legends’ unmissable queer love triangle is a triumph.
+ Melissa Etheridge says the songs on her new album were written before coming out.
+ Underrated queer cinema and where to watch it.
+ Another day, another Disney character who was supposed to be gay.
+ I’m always trying to think of some way to make Beyonce news gay so I can put it in Pop Culture Fixes, but whatever, she’s Beyonce, she can go wherever she wants — including to this year’s Oscars to perform.
+ Lizzo’s SXSW performance will stream as part of Prime Video Women’s History Month.
