On this day in Sesame Street history, Sesame Street was on the wrong end of another soulless decision by Zaslav and WB. Hopefully Sesame Workshop can find a new studio that cares more about the IP and the children it was created to educate and inspire.

Kermit and his human friends Fanny and Shola in 1972, and reunited in 1989. I wonder what it’s like to have the quasi-immortality of a Muppet.

We lost Carroll Spinney, the original performer of Big Bird 5 years ago today. He developed him from a goofy giant to a sensitive six-year-old. We miss you, Carroll 💛

Are you looking for Muppets content after only following, say, one account for it? Look no further! I recommend: go.bsky.app/UAe3aVY

Though it’s not much, this representation is really sweet to me, and probably meant a lot to some kids watching this for the first time. I 💙 Mr. Hooper, and the Sesame Street humans.

This seems like a great time to remind people that ToughPigs is a Muppet Fan website that does some real good in the community. Just for one example: toughpigs.com/pride-month-...

I, and Sesame History as a page, will always stand against harassment and bullying. I’m seeing a lack of accountability which is incredibly disheartening. This community, especially, is supposed to be a place where you should feel safe. I’m here if you need support. -Alethea

Plugging this again as the weather gets colder - I made a comforting soft 70s-style playlist inspired by Sesame Street montages and calm moments. I like to listen to it while crafting or on a snowy day like today :) open.spotify.com/playlist/6Yx...

A very VERY happy birthday to Joan Ganz Cooney, one of the creators of Sesame Street. She’s 95 today! Without her, we wouldn’t have the Street. 💚💛

thinking about if the seinfeld universe coexisted with the sesame street universe in the 90s. jerry dates a grouch. george is paranoid about the meaning of his relationship with jerry after meeting bert and ernie. kramer keeps running into the same big yellow bird in the subway.

I like that Sesame Street posted this! Zoe is canonically a 3 year old girl and gets so much hate for having an imaginary friend. When God sings with all Her creations, will Zoe not be part of the choir? Can you handle complex female characters or will you crumble at Her feet and weep?
