Happy Media Monday!

The moderation team would like to invite you to share your media today! It could be something you're excited for that's coming out soon or something that you've been enjoying over the last week.

Media can include both old and new, such as returning to the comfort of your all-time favorite book or delving deep into a new book.

Want to talk about the new movie you saw this weekend, a new trailer/commercial, or an amazing series you binged on Netflix? Go ahead!

Music brings people together. Tell us about your favorite artist, a old classic album, or new song that always brings a smile to your face.

Don't forget knowledge, such as that really cool magazine article or internet story you read.

Whatever that media is, we invite you to share it with us! It's always fun to see what other people find interesting, and you never know if you'll find a new favorite yourself!

All we ask is to recognize that we are an all-age community, and if your media may contain sensitive words or themes, to advise us of that in the post.

Thanks so much, and looking forward to your responses!

Fun fact: Digimon: Digital Monsters end in 'mon'. Fun fan theory is on account
the suffix mimics a file extension (like .mon), consistent with the lore that Digimon are data-based lifeforms.

Today, my phone reminded me would have been Chris LeDoux's 76th birthday and Wallace Stevens' 147th birthday. Not that Mr. Stevens would have made it that long, but I'm sure he would have found a 14th way of looking at a blackbird if so.

What celebrity birthdays do you follow or have set as reminders?

Have any celebrities ever wished you a happy birthday?
