In case you needed this.

TIL that Aleshia Brevard, a trans actress who transitioned in the early 1960s, played DC Comics character Giganta in a 1979 skit in which she discusses her romance with the Atom. (Skip to about 1:30.) youtu.be/CgzBWn9SsCg?... (attn. @gailsimone.bsky.social)

Huh, for some reason the YouTube app won't update. Weird.

I call this one "Snowy Owl on a Mini-Wheat." 😂 #wildlife #birds

Hey folks, don't forget that you're all awesome.
