Today, Nebula is hosting a charity livestream to raise money for World Central Kitchen and I'm going to be on it! I'll be live at 4pm EST to talk about all the unlikely and unexpected movies that somehow became holiday traditions, together with Angela Collier, Benji from Tale Foundry and Henry from The Closer Look - it's going to be a lot of fun, and there are many other amazing creators hopping on, so be sure to tune it at: youtube.com/live/MpVYz3hCRcA

World Central Kitchen is a nonprofit organization providing fresh meals to people in crises - think of displaced communities in Ukraine, suffering people in Gaza, and so on. They've already served more than 500 million nourishing meals around the world, and after tonight, that number will hopefully be even higher!
