As promised @possession1981 and I have compiled a list of Buffy the Vampire Slayer (and Angel) related academic text and books. I think this is a good starting point for both a long time fan and for someone just getting into the show, or just someone interested in vampire lore. I have included several books about the vampire lore and myth in general as well. Most of these are available online.

So I've been browsing through BehindTheName (great resource!) recently and have compiled several name lists. Here are some names, A-Z, that I like.
NOTE: If you want to use any of these please verify sources, meanings etc, I just used BehindTheName to browse and find all of these. Under the cut:
Can we all agree that veteran voice actor, Kevin Michael Richardson nailed it as some of the most calculating and recognizable villains in a few TV shows?
Some notable examples includes:
2004
The Joker from The Batman (2004-2008) | TV series
2005
Trigon from Teen Titans (2005; replacing Keith Szarabajka) | TV series & video game tie-tins
2008
L. Thomas Lincoln (aliases: The Big Man/Tombstone) from The Spectacular Spider-Man (2008-2009) | TV series
2012
William Viceroy III from Randy Cunningham: 9th Grade Ninja (2012-2015) | TV series
Oroku Saki/The Shredder from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012-2017) | TV series & video game tie-ins
This is a list of all of the submissions. It will be updated continuously. Italics are still being decided in the polls, crossed out have been decided on “no”, bold have been decided on “yes”

They've also got some nonfiction about science & both volumes of The Fifty Year Mission, but I'm not particularly interested in the science ones and I plan to read The Fifty Year Mission physically bc I expect to take a lot of quotes and transcribing text is easier than audio
23 Republican Senators & 124 Congressmen signed an amicus brief to the Supreme Court asking for a 50 state ban on mifepristone, a drug safer than tylenol that is standard treatment for abortion & miscarriages, "due to safety concerns".
The brief DARES to argue that banning the life saving drug would save women from 'reproductive control'. (x)
These 147 people would rather have women die of sepsis than let women control their own bodies. If your representatives are on this list, call them and tell their office you will be voting against them in the next election because they asked SCOTUS to throw the US medical drug system into chaos at the cost of American lives.

If your representatives are on this list, call them and tell their office you will be voting against them in the next election because they asked SCOTUS to throw the US medical drug system into chaos at the cost of American lives.

“Eartha Kitt was one of a kind, both blessed and doomed to be such. But she was not an aberration; she was not really alone; she had simply lived her life ahead of her time ... She had tried to demand the rights a white woman would have taken for granted, and she got closer than she might have expected, but, of course, not as close as she should have done. What she did do, what she managed triumphantly, was to make white America look at a black woman and see her as an individual, an extraordinary individual, with her own unique intelligence and sexuality, passion and charm ... She was the most feline of revolutionaries.”
/ From America’s Mistress: The Life and Times of Eartha Kitt (2013) by John L Williams /
Born on this day 96 years ago: perennially fierce triple threat (actress, chanteuse and dancer), international sex kitten and the scariest of Catwomen, Miss Eartha Kitt (née Eartha Mae Keith, 17 January 1927 – 25 December 2008). (Yes, That Bad Eartha gets TWO birthday tributes!).

Neutralised (1994) [3/?]: My Version of The Shared Universe
For those of you unfamiliar with 'Chicago Hope', it was actually set in a shared universe. Also, 'Suspiciously Similar' characters will be involved (Due to actors playing multiple roles). This is my take on that:
Shows:
Chicago Hope
Homicide: Life on the Street
Law & Order
Neutralised
Oz
Picket Fences
characters (I'm not listing anyone who was in 20 episodes or less) under the cut. Also technically these are not all the characters as I'm still writing stuff.

friday shows up pretty fast on short weeks like this one. it always seems like i don't have enough prep time before my show but then 8pm hits and i stop overthinking things and it all magically works. so tune into wlur from 8pm to midnight tonight to see what's on the menu!
last week's show is streaming on mixcloud, as per usual.
ps- i updated the site last weekend to use a more modern theme as i was toying around with attempts to embed the stream (i think that ship has sailed). please let me know if anything is broken, missing, or weird.
no love for ned on wlur – june 30th, 2023 from 8-10pm
