If you follow me on Bluesky, you know that Rachel Talalay was kind enough to repost my thread on #TankGirl yesterday. Funny enough, I actually did this week's #VideoStore Podcast on her work. And yes, I'm talking about Tank Girl, plus 3 more of her films. Thank you, Rachel. <3 https://www.videostorepodcast.com/p/tallying-titles-for-talalay

Then last year, for the film's 30th anniversary, I joined my podcast sister, the #JetGirl to my #TankGirl, Violet Hammond, for this episode of #MovieVersaries, where we discussed the film and how the only thing that's aged poorly is the original criticism for the film. And with that, I say Happy Tank Girl day to you. And thank you, Lori. Thank you, Rachel. https://open.spotify.com/episode/4OWodOIyC167VwdRYjQQrU?si=06eb080fa017492a

When I joined the #VideoStore Podcast in 2024, my very first episode was about Lori Petty, whom I dubbed the Queen of Quirky. Obviously, I recommended #TankGirl: https://www.videostorepodcast.com/p/lori-petty-the-queen-of-quirky

I also talked about #TankGirl on Perry Constantine's Superhero Cinephiles podcast in August of 2023. Available wherever you get your podcasts: https://open.spotify.com/episode/5jgPrIKv3VXNG3az9f5Fyy?si=160e07fba6b34f9b

I've written and recorded a lot about #TankGirl since I saw it for the first time in 2023. This is what started it all, my last assignment for #SciFi5: https://sci-fi-5.libsyn.com/tank-girl

Today is Tank Girl Day! On this day in 1995, #TankGirl hit theaters. While it wasn't appreciated in its time, this is a film that means a great deal to me. I'm grateful it's getting a renaissance now, but I wish it could have been appreciated upon release. I am not joking or exaggerating when I say that this movie healed something in me the first time I watched it. It is still encouraging to me as a weird girl who never fit, but found her own tank to drive and friends to ride with eventually. 🧵

The best thing I do every year with my career as a writer is partner with the team that runs Trek Talks! We've got amazing Star Trek luminaries lined up for an 8-hour Trek Telethon in support of the Hollywood Food Coalition, which works to end food insecurity in SoCal. Their example has inspired other food distribution services all over the country, and has inspired me personally. The party starts at 12:45 pm ET/9:45 am PT.
