- Folks outside SF/F don't know that Asimov was a sexual harasser because while he was alive fandom thought it was cute (up to and including Asimov being invited to give a lecture on "The Power of Positive Posterior Pinching" at Worldcon, which he, wisely, declined). daily.jstor.org/asimovs-empi...
- Yep, I had folks who were pissed off that I put that letter into the exhibition because it would “sully his memory. I pointed out that I didn’t make him grab people, and I didn’t make him DOCUMENT IT IN HIS OWN WORDS. All I did was remove the letter from the box and put it into a display case.

- Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue
