MerCon Recap: a more fin-clusive ocean for all

The Babysitters Club Netflix poster. Five girls cluster around a bed with an old patchwork cover. Three girls lounge on top of the bed: Stacey, on the left, has pale skin and shoulder-length blond hair; Mary-Anne, lying on her stomach, has light brown skin, dark hair in two braids, and black-rimmed glasses; Dawn, on the left, has tanned skin and long black hair. Two girls lounge on the floor: Kristy, on the right, just under Dawn, is kneeling with her right arm resting on the bed. She has pale skin and brown hair in a pony-tail, under a dark red baseball cap. Claudia lies on her back, staring up at Mary-Anne and Dawn. She has light skin and black hair pulled up into a messy bun on top of her head. She's wearing a jellow jumpsuit under a patchwork jacket, and gold high-top boots (can you tell she's the artist?) The wall behind them is purple, with the babysitters Club logo in its classic toy block style, above and between Stacey and Dawn's heads. The tag line at the bottom of the poster, just above the Netflix logo, reads: "Join the club!"

Stonybrook 2020: the revolution WILL BE TIE-DYED

#FinfolkFriday: Come to the California Mercon, quarantine edition!

Cover of Sweet Valley Kids number one: Surprise! Surprise! A boy with dark brown hair, wearing a blue and white striped dress shirt over khaki pants, blows an inflatable party whistle at a girl with pale blond hair pulled back in a pony tail. The girl faces the audience, holding a round white birthday cake with eight candles (one is extra, for luck). She's wearing a red dress with long sleeves and tiny pink flowers all over it. To the right of this girl is an identical girl, only with her hair down. The second girl faces the first, puffing out her cheeks like she's going to blow out the candles. Above them, the title "Sweet Valley Kids" is shahped like a white banner with red letters; the "Sweet Valley" curves up in a quarter-circle, while "Kids" is horizontal. The tag-line says "It's Elizabeth and Jessica's seventh birthday!"

#FinfolkFriday: Beach reads and prophecies

Cover of Calling on Dragons. A giant blue donkey with enormous white wings grins as he flies a sword-wielding hero with streaming dark hair and a flapping pink cape (I'm guessing that's Cimorene?) to the top window of a grey stone tower. Inside the window are two figures: a woman with long, dark red hair and a balding man with lighter red hair. Both are staring out at the donkey, whose back legs are straddling a manila banner that says "Patricia C. Wrede."
