I Am Proud of What I Am

Need something to do this summer? Or anytime? Visit your local public library! These institutions are pillars of education and accessibility to free resources for our communities and now more than ever, we need to protect them. The best thing you can do is VISIT. Get a free library card, borrow some books, attend a free event, or just go there and chill for a while. The more traffic and use these spaces see, the easier it is for them to maintain their funding.

I am reading Tim Curry’s 2025 memoir, Vagabond

and in it, he not only devotes a chapter to Muppet Treasure Island, but also references this very post

so, to recap

no, Tim Curry is absolutely NOT a Muppet; however
