Sadly, I don't have access to an Ancestory subscription right now and I can't find the birth date or death date or place of burial for either him or his wife, or if they ever had kids :( Newspapers.com results drop off sharply after 1957 so this is all I could find
If anyone does, I would love to see what you can find!! Although, based on censored information Ancestory WILL show me, it looks like he lived as Donald Bury until the end of his life :]
Anastasia wasn’t a Disney movie. Saying it is now, simply because Disney bought Fox, is creatively anachronistic. Don Bluth didn’t fight in the animation trenches and escape the clutches of The Mouse to have his work artistically misattributed. I’m not dying on this hill. I’m defending this hill. I’m killing on this hill.
Federalist Society bought SCOTUS, sold direct influence of Conservative judges to plutocrats.

Clarence Thomas will vote on issues that directly give corrupt advantages to donors.

I’m losing it over this twitter thread. this is the post-digital hellscape
Sometimes high tech is worse
My fan has a string that I pull.
I have a button… on the wall.
I go *click* and it shuts off. No arguments, no remotes.
Fuck, I hate remotes.

OH HEY this is children’s book author Jon Klassen and he wrote an adaptation of the folk tale he’s talking about here! It’s called “The Skull” and it’s really good.
