Thank you to @nerdsofafeather.bsky.social for including me on a longlist of fan writers to consider nominating for awards, and thanks to several people who've said they plan to nominate me! Spurred on by this, I've finally written a Hugo Awards eligibility post about the reviews I wrote last year.

Hey y'all! It's been a while since we did a fundraiser so we're doing one now to support people and orgs providing relief to immigrants, mutual aid, or otherwise protesting 🧊.

Minneapolis is an obvious opportunity for support, but we aren't picky about it - an immigrant relief org in any community in need, the ACLU - anything along those lines would qualify.

Donations work like entries into a random drawing. The winner gets to pick a movie for us to cover in a future episode. Please EMAIL your donation receipt to us at hugogirlpodcast @ gmail dot com.

I loved Willy's Wonderland! We also just saw The Retirement Plan (a new one), which was VERY silly and involves a small child throwing Cage a loaded gun across a body of water which he catches while leaping midair to shoot a few bad guys.

Ours started by accident and then we decided to keep it going. I think Con Air is my personal favorite of the Nic Cage Being Nic Cage genre.

Moonstruck is so so good too!

As one of your constituents, I am telling you to publicly state, in no uncertain terms, that we must abolish ICE, and then follow through by abolishing ICE. Thanks!

As one of your constituents, I am telling you to publicly state, in no uncertain terms, that we must abolish ICE, and then follow through by abolishing ICE. Thanks!

Tomorrow morning is a great time to call your reps and tell them to abolish ICE. I wrote a script you can use. And no, this is not a joke, it really is that simple.
