THE PAST: @tchotchke.bsky.socialwww.insider.com/viewers-for-...

Before the internet, one housewife was there to save your favorite show from cancellation

Before there were frenzied fandoms, Dorothy Swanson and VQT would campaign for "quality" television.

i made new friends today joining a conversation about ulysses … at one point we had moved onto personal grooming, i said i wanted to get a victorian hair receiver to make my own hair rats/fillers and one girl was like “wow you’re my kind of totally crazy” 😇🫶

also now i should probably be on here AND the app formerly known as twitter in order to have any hope of keeping up… to say nothing of tiktok [dry heaves] no it’s fine i’m fine

i just use it to look up blorbo names from all my google books binges… this is the future vannevar bush wanted
