im not even being overdramatic social media 100% ruined humanity. like its over. tumblr doesnt count but theyre trying to make it count w the live feature. but something in the human spirit died with all of these clout chaser websites.
I work in the US with a program that provides free books on request to people in prison. It's a semi-regular occurrence that someone will find one of your books in our donation bins and shout, "NEIL GAIMAN!!" and everyone else will cheer, because your books are so popular among our readers. And if it's your Norse Mythology book? Oh man, those sometimes don't even make it to the shelf they get picked up so quickly. Anyway, I just wanted you to know that your books are making people happy in some of the darkest, most oppressed places in America, and by extension they're making volunteers in my workroom happy, too.
I’m so glad to hear it. I’ve sent books to people in prison before and discovered that so many prisons have so many rules that stop the books reaching the people who need them, so I’d love to know about any programs or charities that can get books to prisoners.
This is just too awesome! Ron Perlman just made mini-Hellboy’s day!
I got to work on a show with Ron Perlman about 30 years ago. He was just the kindest guy you had ever met. That shoot was real tough, and he is one of the good memories from production.
I’ve seen him maybe twice since then, and he’s remembered me both times. It’s something that matters, you know?
I hung out with Ron Perlman for two weeks, in Budapest, but I tend to forget that I ever hung out with Ron in Budapest, and would tend reflexively to put him in the category of people I have never met, because he was always in full Hellboy costume and make-up. Hellboy was incredibly nice.
