Teach them how to say goodbye. One Last Time

[sleeponacott]

We’re gonna teach ‘em how to say goodbye One last time

[sleeponacott]

Covid is not over and black lives still matter. Stop trying to "go back to normal" when shit is still happening.

Stop going on trips and going to restaurants without masks.

Keep educating yourself and protesting and calling and donating and signing petitions.

Wear a mask. End white supremacy. Defund police.

I know it's tiring but it's not over for either thing even though people are pretending it is. I know the overlap is exhausting. But be safe, social distance, and keep fighting the good fight.

Day 365

Well, today’s the day. One year without Bandstand and no sign of a revival or national tour on the horizon. It’s easy to be sad, but look at all the good things that happened this year!

A proshot! Screened in theaters! So many new fans!

The cast staying in touch and touring as the DNB

SO MANY NEW FANS

(this blog hey)

Everyone’s love for Abby DePhillips

Acknowledgement that Corey Cott is goddamn leading man material

Most importantly, a kickass fandom that grows every day and will always make sure this show is loved and never forgotten for the masterpiece it is. We make Fanfiction, gorgeous pieces of art, edits etc. This show has touched so many of us in a profound way and that is its true magic. This little blog is my contribution, a lighthearted way to honor the show that somehow breaks you down and yet fills you with so much love and warmth.

I promise to keep counting the days
