It’s Wednesday! It’s the last Wednesday of April and we hope you all had a great Easter, Passover, or just weekend in general. I did absolutely nothing besides lounged around the house and play video games. It was fantastic; sometimes you just need a lazy weekend. This Saturday is Independent Bookstore Day. If you have a local indie you love, be sure to grab some books!

Netflix has announced a lesbian teen romantic comedy, starring two actresses of color! It’s going to be directed by Alice Wu, who directed Saving Face, which was a previous SB Movie Matinee. The movie will also have a Cyrano de Bergerac vibe.

PornHub has launched a campaign to save the bees. Watch their bee/pollination porn parodies and they’ll made donations to relevant organizations based on the amount of views their videos get. Not going to lie; I’m not mad about it.

GQ has ranked Billy Crystal’s outfits from When Harry Met Sally. I highly disagree with the outfit that topped the list. How do you feel?

Eeeeep that webcomic is adorable!!
I am, rather belatedly, working my way through the In Death series. I’ve been devouring them at the rate of about 2 a day – I’m a very fast reader & there doesn’t seem to be a big rush for them on Overdrive. So very enjoyable!
Oh, and I came across this: https://www.fye.com/bob-ross-the-joy-of-cereal-fye.000000793396121007.html I love the idea of Happy Accidents marshmallows!

I actually love that Pornhub is trying bring attention to the plight of our bees. This is an issue I’m very concerned about, and for a website that I’m guessing gets tons of traffic-anything that brings people’s awareness to a worthy cause is a very good thing in my book.
What Maureen said. As an avid pollinator gardener, I am happy to see those bumblebees getting busy in my front yard.
As a beekeeper, let me tell you we need all the help we can get. This isn’t a thing I thought I’d say, but… Thanks PornHub! Way to make the world a better place!
What would the porn industry do without the birds and BEES???!!!
