Pop Culture Fix: Kate McKinnon Bids a Tearful, Hilarious Goodbye to SNL
Every time the seasons change, my Long Covid-induced dysautonomia has to readjust to the weather, which causes a couple of weeks of more intense brain fog than usual. This weekend, it was like 100 degrees so I was trying to order four bottles of Gatorade and ended up ordering four 32-packs of Gatorade — so if anyone needs some Lemon-Lime Zero or Glacier Freeze Zero, I’ve got plenty to share! My kitchen looks like a Costco. In the meantime, here’s your Monday Pop Culture Fix!
+ This weekend, Kate McKinnon said goodbye to Saturday Night Live. She laughed, she cried, I have no doubt she’ll go on to make a million movies. Also, I’m sorry, but Natasha Lyonne remains the most confusing straight person I have ever encountered. HOW?
+ The Owl House is becoming a queer-friendly Harry Potter alternative. (I’ve been saying!)
+ Joyland is a daring queer Pakistani drama about desire.
+ Auli’i Cravalho is more than Moana.
+ DeWanda Wise’s pilot is bisexual in Jurassic World Dominion.
+ Thirsty Sword Lesbians won a Nebula Award for best game writing.
+ Fans are hyped for Netflix’s new gay vampire anime.
+ Gentleman Jack’s costumes will feature in a Halifax exhibition about Anne Lister.
+ How Ellen DeGeneres won and then lost a generation of viewers.
+ The WNBA Player’s Association has doubled down on the call to bring Brittney Griner home.
“We must keep Brittney’s case on the forefront and make clear to the White House that her release should be one of the highest priorities for our government.”-Cherelle Griner about the new House resolution pushing for Brittney Griner's immediate release. #WeAreBG #BrittneyGriner pic.twitter.com/oXUPablEdk
