Anne Wheatley Almonte ---- Lucy Poap Clippings

Cherilyn Giles So sad. I had her as a teacher in Naismith for both grade 4 and 5. She was my favorite teacher and 1 I truly respected. She was a tough teacher but she taught me what respect was and how to use ur manners properly. When my daughter was going to Naismith I ran into another teacher I had and we talked about Mrs Weatley. I told her how much she ment to me…she asked me to write her a…

ANYONE REMEMBER THIS?

Anyone remember the show, The Weakest Link? In 2001, I think, they had guests from Star Trek playing for charity.

I remember John de Lancie, Wil Wheaton, Robert Picardo, Denise Crosby, William Shatner, Levar Burton, and a few others were on it.

Anyway, I remember that I felt bad for John de Lancie because I honestly thought he looked SO uncomfortable onstage, answering questions. He gave the correct answer to the question about what the "e" in email stood for, but his answer of "Wyoming" to the question about "What state is America's last frontier?", was incorrect. It was a good guess, though, John.

Unfortunately, JDL got eliminated first, but he raised a couple hundred dollars for his charity.

William Shatner in typical fashion, joked Kirk-style and even kissed Ann Robinson. He got eliminated soon after JDL did.

The winner was Levar Burton, whose answer "Antebellum" to the question about what term describes a period of time before the American Civil War was correct. Burton is a smart guy, for sure! He raised around $125,000.

April 20th, D&D livestream with Jonathan Frakes, Deborah Ann Woll, Todd Stashwick, Michelle Hurd, and Wil Wheaton, in aid of Pablove, a child cancer charity.

[andymfx]

This was one of two main shows that I got to work on from last October to mid March. Many thanks to Howard Berger for bringing on board and getting to work with you, Dirk, Caleb, Mike, Steve, Chris, Richard, Chris, Emily and the rest of the gang at KNB. This one was special for various reasons and can’t wait to finally see it. Here’s to the KNB gang both in the shop and on-set (Tami Lane & crew), Gary Archer & his team, Stan Winston & crew for their work on the original that inspired many of us, and of course to the creator of it all, Anne Rice. If only she could be here to see this.

Three pieces, one longer than the others, that I have never done in public before. I hoped they would all fit together to tell a story, and I was scared to death the the story they told wouldn't resonate with the audience.

But I needed to trust myself, trust Anne and my friend who told me it absolutely was going to work, and take what felt like a very big risk.

So I did, and I think it landed the way I hoped it would. The audience was receptive, which was not always the case at cons for me but has increasingly become the norm this century. Lots and lots of people told me they also know the secret handshake, and it helped them, as it does me, feel a little better.

I use my phone to record all of my talks and readings, and then I put them with all my glasses and my shoes, so I have them.

At the beginning, you're going to hear, faintly, my space brother, Ed Speleers, introducing me. You can't hear the smile on my face, or the overwhelming joy and gratitude in my heart, but it was there. I had no idea he was going to introduce me, and he was just so kind and lovely.

Then you're going to hear me read something I titled I Turned Myself To Face Me, which I hope will be part of a larger work later this year.

Audio Drama Recommendations, Pt. II

For part one, click here. I went on another audio drama binge and I found some that were pretty fun to listen to. I usually tend to go after the ones that are completed because the longer the wait, the more likely I will forget the details, but this time I just went for anything that caught my attention. This also isn’t in any particular order.

The Magnus Archives – is a horror fiction anthology podcast written by Jonathan Sims, directed by Alexander J. Newall, and distributed by Rusty Quill.

The new Head Archivist of the Magnus Institute, Jonathan Sims, attempts to bring a seemingly neglected collection of people’s testimonials of their encounters with the supernatural up to date, converting them to audio and supplementing them with follow-up work from his small but dedicated team. [COMPLETED]

It has five seasons, each 40 episodes long, as well as additional content such as Q&As, non-canon fan-submitted statements and one-off episodes that tie in with Rusty Quill's other podcasts.

It does start out slow and maybe at some point you’ll be wondering where is this going and what does some of these episodes have to do with the overall story, but it does all eventually connect. Your patience will pay off because once the build-up is done it picks up and things get really interesting!

Unwell – is a horror podcast starring Clarisa Cherie Rios and produced by Hartlife NFP.

The story follows Lillian Harper who has returned home to Mt. Absalom, Ohio to care for her estranged mother Dorothy after an injury. Living in the town's boarding house which has been run by her family for generations, she discovers conspiracies, ghosts, and a new family in the house's strange assortment of residents. [ONGOING]

This audio drama has five seasons which runs for 12 episodes. It currently has 54 episodes in total and each one is about 20-30 minutes long. New episodes are released fortnightly (biweekly) on Wednesdays. They take a mid-season break between episodes 6 and 7.

Bridgewater – is a supernatural thriller audio drama produced by Grim & Mild and by iHeartRadio, created by Aaron Mahnke and written/directed by Lauren Shippen.

Folklore professor Jeremy Bradshaw is pulled into the mysterious 1980 disappearance of his police officer father, Thomas, by new evidence that threatens to upend decades of certainty. Along the way, he’s helped by some unlikely partners who challenge everything he believes in, and ultimately tries to answer the question: can the past actually be rewritten?

Together with his father’s former partner, retired Detective Anne Becker, Jeremy must chase the clues that will tell him whether his father really did fall victim to a Satanic cult in the Bridgewater Triangle—or something much more dark and unexplainable. [ONGOING]

It has two seasons, the first consist of 10 episodes and the second has 12 episodes. Each one runs about 20-30 minutes long. Season three was put on hold when there was news of a possible television series. However, that fell through and by then everyone was working on other projects. So a season three, well, that’s pretty much up in the air.

It stars Misha Collins (Supernatural), Melissa Ponzio (Teen Wolf), Nathan Fillion (Firefly, The Rookie), Karan Soni (Deadpool), Kristin Bauer (True Blood), Hilarie Burton Morgan (The Walking Dead, One Tree Hill), Wil Wheaton (Star Trek: The Next Generation), Jonathan Joss (The Magnificent Seven, Parks and Rec) and Lori Alan (Spongebob Squarepants, Family Guy).

The Lovecraft Investigations -- is a mystery thriller/horror fiction podcast written and directed by Julian Simpson, based on several works of H.P. Lovecraft. It’s produced by Sweet Talk Productions for BBC Radio 4. It concluded with three seasons and each episode is about 25-30 minutes long. There might be a fourth season in the works, but even if there isn’t the series is considered to be finished.

The first season starts off with an investigation into the disappearance of a young man, Charles Dexter Ward from a locked room in an asylum. [COMPLETED]

It stars Barnaby Kay (Shakespeare in Love), Jana Carpenter (Doctor Who), Nicola Walker (MI-5, Unforgotten), Mark Bazeley (The Queen, The Bourne Ultimatum), Phoebe Fox (Eye in the Sky, The Woman in Black 2: Angel of Death), Steven Mackintosh (Rang De Basanti, Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels), Samuel Barnett (Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, Penny Dreadful), Alun Armstrong (Sleepy Hollow, The Mummy Returns), Adam Godley (The Great, The Umbrella Academy), and so on.

Midnight Burger – is a monthly sci-fi audio drama about a diner at the end – and somehow the beginning – of the universe.

When Gloria took a waitressing job at Midnight Burger outside of Phoenix, she didn’t realize she was now an employee of a time-traveling, dimension-spanning diner. Every day Midnight Burger appears somewhere new in the cosmos along with its staff: a galactic drifter, a rogue theoretical physicist, a sentient old-timey radio, and some guy named Caspar.

No one knows who built Midnight Burger or how it works, but when it appears there's always someone around who could really use a cup of coffee. Come by any time, we open at six. [ONGOING]

The audio drama currently has three seasons and each episodes averages about 30 minutes to an hour or so.

Rex Rivetter: Private Eye – is a 1950s-style noir detective audio drama written by Greg McAfee, directed by Rhiannon McAfee, and produced in San Diego, CA by Downstairs Entertainment with editing and sound design by Steve Murdock. The Rex Rivetter theme “Nightmare” by the Artie Shaw Orchestra is used with permission of Music Sales Corp.

The year is 1955. Tinsel town. The land of make-believe. It's a time of growth in American prosperity. Especially in Los Angeles. Here, dreams are bought and sold.

But there's a seedier side to the City of Angels, the shadows where pimps and narcotics pushers live, where organized crime stands just around every corner with one hand out, and the other wrapped around a roscoe. It's a city full of fancy dames and slick cons, where bookies know the vig, so you better, too.

Some folks call it noir or pulp fiction. But for a private eye named Rex Rivetter, it's home. [ONGOING]

It has four seasons and each one runs about 20-30 minutes long. Due to the pandemic, it is still unknown if season five will ever come out and so far there hasn’t been any news about it either.

Mansfield Mysteries – is a satirical, cozy murder whodunit written by Amy Henson, directed by Nicholas Hoyt and produced by The QuaranTeam.

It follows the inquisitive, martini-loving socialite Dorinda Mansfield and is set in quiet, affluent Berkshire Bay. So far it only has one season, which contains nine hilarious episodes, each three-chapter story finds Dorinda wrapped up in a new murder. With the help of her devoted daughter, Stacey—as well as the occasional frenemy—Dorinda digs for clues, navigates Berkshire Bay’s elite social circles, and sifts through years’ worth of grudges and motives. In this company town, no one can be trusted, and everyone has something to hide.

Whether at the Labor Day Extravaganza, the Halloween Tennis Club Open, or secret karaoke night, Dorinda sets out to find the real killer before they get away with murder… Just as soon as she orders her martini! [COMPLETED]

If you’re looking for a bite-sized audio drama, this might be for you. It has three seasons (or chapters) and each one only takes three episodes to complete its tales, which is fun, amusing and will keep you entertained while you’re working on something or resting your eyes.

The Call of the Void – is an indie science fiction mystery audio drama created and written by Josie Eli Herman and Michael Alan Herman. It’s produced by Acorn Arts & Entertainment. It contains three seasons of 28 episodes and each one is about 25-30 minutes long with a cast of about 35 actors.

In the bustling streets of New Orleans, a tour guide and a palm-reading outcast team up to unravel the mystery behind cases of sudden insanity besetting the city. [COMPLETED]

Wolf 359 – is a science fiction audio drama created by Gabriel Urbina and produced by Gabriel Urbina and Zach Valenti under Kinda Evil Genius Productions. It consists of four seasons with 61 episodes in total and each one is about 25-40 minutes long.

It is set on board the U.S.S. Hephaestus space station orbiting the star Wolf 359 on a deep space survey mission. The dysfunctional crew deals with daily life-or-death emergencies, while searching for signs of alien life and discovering there might be more to their mission than they thought. [COMPLETED]

Is there a masterlist of, like, actors and celebrities that have come forward for trans rights?

I know the internet has all sorts of collections of people who've done something messed up and those always depress me but reading about David Tennant being supportive in the face of the UK government and current legislation and stuff really hit me and I'd love to be able to see who else is out there standing up for us and what's right.

If not, here's a list I'm putting together, feel free to add to it or add context in the notes if you want! I'm including celebrities who have affirmed their support for trans family members even if they're not doing other activism. I'm also only listing celebrities I know of, and this list does not in any way endorse any problematic stuff any of them may have done outside of the topic.

Just making this list is cheering me up a lot tbh

lent 2023: what i read, watched, and listened to

i gave up reading fiction for lent, which freed up... um... a lot of time.

read:

Jesus and John Wayne: How White Evangelicals Corrupted a Faith and Fractured a Nation by Kristin Kobes DuMez [audiobook]

The Evangelicals: The Struggle to Shape America by Frances Fitzgerald [audiobook]

Inspired: Slaying Giants, Walking on Water, and Loving the Bible Again by Rachel Held Evans

The Making of Biblical Womanhood: How the Subjugation of Women Became Gospel Truth by Beth Allison Barr [audiobook]

The Bible With and Without Jesus: How Jews and Christians Read the Same Stories Differently by Amy-Jill Levine and Marc Zvi Brettler*

Wholehearted Faith by Rachel Held Evans with John Chu [audiobook; this was posthumously finished and narrated by her friends, so it can be a lot.]

Searching for Sunday: Loving, Leaving, and Finding the Church by Rachel Held Evans [audiobook; this is almost the only book on the list that i rated under 4 stars, only because i found it less cohesive and compelling than the previous two books of hers i had just read. my extremely general opinion on rhe is that i dislike her writing voice in a lot of inconsequential ways, but appreciate her thoughts on a much deeper and more important level.]

watched:

Same God (2018, documentary) [i was a student at wheaton college when this happened. watching it happen again felt about 10 years long.]

The Eyes of Tammy Faye (2021)

I Survived I Kissed Dating Goodbye (2018) [this film is in no way a wholesale rejection of purity culture, but it was interesting to me, especially followed by the podcast episodes I Kissed Christianity Goodbye and Reflections on Christian Celebrity. if you're interested in what happened in josh harris' church before all of this, this is a great article. tw for sexual and spiritual abuse, including but not limited to csa.]

other nonfiction read, though not for my lenten study:

The Library Book by Susan Orlean

Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic by Alison Bechdel

The Fire Never Goes Out: A Memoir in Pictures by ND Stevenson

Overdue: Reckoning with the Public Library by Amanda Oliver [this is the other book that i rated under 4 stars; it resulted in such mixed feelings that i wrote a goodreads review, which i hate doing.]

Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life by Anne Lamott

An Odyssey: A Father, a Son, and an Epic by Daniel Mendelsohn*

Some Books a Year, Episode Jump Start

Short books & flight cancellations made for an unusual number of reads so far.

Conan of the Isles, by L. Sprague de Camp & Lin Carter. The twelfth & last in the old Ace paperback series. A last slap dash of pastiche to close it out, in which a retirement-age Conan abdicates the throne of Aquilonia & lights out across the sea to find what bastard wizard sent the monstrous thingummy that ate one of Conan's oldest friends. Picked this one off the animal shelter fund raiser cart mainly to see how it would read now that I'm 53 instead of 12; wasn't as bad as I was afraid it might be.

A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian, by Marina Lewycka. Two feuding daughters are forced to mend their relationship & come to the aid of their octogenarian father, when his new wife - fifty years his junior - turns out to be, surprise surprise, up to no good. Part sensible-chuckle domestic comedy, part meditation on how hidden traumas can poison the psychic earth for decades.

La chatte, by Colette. Arrested adolescent Alain marries Claudine, partly to combine family business interests & partly because you're supposed to get married at some point, right? Claudine soon discovers that the real object of Alain's devotion is his Chartreux cat Saha. Resentment builds & ends badly, though not for who you expect it to.

Still Just a Geek, by Wil Wheaton. The annotated & expanded version of his memoir/essay collection. Been a long slog, but it sounds like he's finally created a life he actually enjoys for himself. Also, he's charmingly, perpetually smitten with Anne. Who always seemed pretty cool when she was on Tabletop, so that tracks.

[onthewaytosomewhere]

always just a lil silly fangirl

So apparently, today the internet has conspired to make my day of stuck inside - "it snowed in Southtown" (yes that's a Rankin and Bass Year Without a Santa Claus reference) and is flipping freezing (for real not just the southern 'it's cold for us' kind) so I hafta make sure both us and our pipes don't freeze - ugh!

So anyway, the good parts - as I check tumblr this morning, I discover that someone who I luv from afar for the last however many months has followed me (on an account I didn't even realize they had). I may have (most definitely probably did) done a lil silly fangirl dance and then totally carried on with my day (lol yeah, something like that)

And if that wasn't enough, I got a response from one of my absolutely favorite peeps on threads today (Anne Wheaton), and so many *happy sighs* happening today

So all around a very wonderful fangirl day lol

Anyway - back to just existing I go ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[wilwheaton]

Today's holiday that was made up to sell you stuff is #nationalspouseday. Uh. Okay? Go *checks notes to be sure* spouses! FINALLY A DAY FOR US AM I RIGHT? I don't want to sell you anything, but I'll happily seize the excuse to share this #tbt picture of me with my favorite human, who I am so lucky to call my spouse. We were being fancy with the TARDIS, in the Before Times. I love this memory, and I love Anne Wheaton. So, thank you, American Capitalist Advertising Industrial Complex, for this genuinely good feeling that I'm experiencing at the moment, you vultures. 📷: @pixievision 🏬: @geekyteas https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn54pt-LQYt/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
