It’s your Monday Pop Culture Fix! (It’s Monday, right?)
+ Heather Morris has posted another beautiful tribute to Naya Rivera, this time thanking fans for believing so much in Brittana and for sharing how much that couple meant to her and Naya over the years.
“I don’t need to explain what the importance of Santana and Brittany’s relationship was to all of you who are watching, because most of you felt like it was your gateway into your current life. Most of you felt like it was an inspiration to become your best self. I want you to know that that was never lost on me. It was never lost on Naya. We both knew how special that was. I think she knew a little bit more than I did. I really felt it a lot later with all the messages and all the people reaching out. and I knew the writers also knew that as well. They were basically writing for the fans.”
+ Lizzo is going to develop some TV projects for Amazon!
+ Stacey Abrams and Janelle Monáe on the fight for democracy in an election season for the ages.
+ Olivia Swann will be a series regular on Legends of Tomorrow season six.
+ Carmen said it best, as she always does.
This is sad! It has made me SO sad!
(I wrote about how much I loved Zoe Kravitz's High Fidelity, I called her Rob "a hot bisexual mess" — in a good way! — and its one of my favorite pieces of writing that I've done this year: https://t.co/RRdBTfRKfm) https://t.co/uuUbMmqqq2

Astra and her power suits staying on LoT almost unbreaks my heart after learning Charlie will not be back. I shipped them!
Great to have you back on the beat Heather! Don’t overdo things though 🙂
When queer representation was less prominent in mainstream media, Brittana helped me reflect and recognize my queer self.
That Noelle-Rebecca interview is really good!
