@thenormanlear died today at 101. First glance you may go wtf is he doin here? Bigots and all? No actually Lear was wildly progressive for the time and place, including having what may very well have been the first openly #trans character on his show #allinthefamily Beverly La Salle. Her first episode is in 1975 and she appeared 3 times total ending in 1977.

Now its 1975 so if you do watch it the language is now offensive (a truth for much of the show that mocked bigots) and La Salle is at best called the now offensive #transvestite . Female impersonator was also used. Beverly is mostly a #dragqueen but the actress Lori Shannon lived as what we’d call trans now, performing as a drag queen and writing columns for the newspaper.

Her first ep is the most meaty, #archiebunker is driving a cab and saves her life with cpr. Ofc he goes from lothario to joke when its noted that she wasnt born she. Gross i know. But #edithbunker adores her and through the rough plot line a lot of humanity is shown for the time and place.

2nd ep she says hi and her and Edith are penpala. Archie is sick of being pranked by a jerk friend and asks her to prank him as not really a lady (again gross). The friend had seen her perform and knows her so they make a plan to drive Archie crazy.

Third ep shes barely in and yet its the saddest and best storyline. She visits dressed cis, shes playing the Met and taking Edith. Mike goes with her to meet a friend at the subway. Bigots mock her and Mike tells them to fuck off. They get violent. Mike almost dies but Beverly steps in to save him and she is killed for it. The ep is a two parter #xmas special where sweet Edith loses faith in a god for taking her friend just for being different. Yes i bawled.

These eps are s6e4, s7e8, s8ep 13-14.

Irl Lori Shannon didnt die by violence or aids as much of the 80s did to so many others. She sadly died a day before valentines day, 1984 age 45 of a heart attack.

Those were the days: In 1975, Norman Lear created the character of Beverly LaSalle (played by San Francisco performer Lori Shannon, née Don Seymour McLean). Appearing in a trilogy of "All In The Family" episodes, Beverly proved to be a formidable foil to lovable bigot Archie Bunker (Carroll O'Connor) and a dear friend to his just-plain-lovable wife Edith (Jean Stapleton). In her final appearance in 1977, Beverly's senseless murder inspires a crisis of faith in Edith.

6 Retro Vampire Romances You Can Sink Your Teeth Into

Some retro vampire romances to enjoy this Halloween

Book Notes: The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi

For those of you who loved The Daevabad Trilogy, a historical fantasy of 18th century Cairo and the magical cities of the djinn, climb aboard Shannon Chakraborty’s newest maritime fantasy novel. Set a thousand years before the events of The Daevabad Trilogy, The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi is a wild ride of a story, where each twist is more unbelievable than the last.

Amina al-Sirafi is retired from her life at sea. Retired from the illegal shenanigans she and her crew got up to all around the Indian Ocean, in search of adventure and riches. Amina is very busy raising a daughter with the aid of her mother and brother and assiduously staying out of trouble. That is, until she’s lured (and guilted) out of retirement with the promise of a reward beyond imagining. All she has to do is find some information on Dunya, the kidnapped daughter of a prominent house, or better yet, bring her home again. Amina soon discovers this mission is much more complicated and dangerous than she initially thought, and recruits her former shipmates, a trusted inner circle, to help. With a mistress of poisons, her crafty first mate, and the best map maker and navigator on the high seas, Amina follows the trail of Dunya to a mythical cave of treasures. Unhappily this treasure cave also contains a murderous magic-hungry Frank and a relic out of legend. Oh, and an erstwhile husband who is more than meets the eye, along with a sea monster from the deep.

Chakraborty excels at melding historical fact with fantasy and making it feel seamless. She frames the entire story as an oral narrative — Amina sharing her experiences in first person, with the occasional aside to the scribe taking down every word. While there are certainly grim and grisly moments, all in all it is one daring adventure after the other as Amina and her crew strive to rescue the kidnapped Dunya, and perhaps save the world in the bargain? With sly humor, swashbuckling action, and a fun twist at the end, this was an entirely satisfying read. Intended to be the start of a new trilogy, I found The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi a pleasure in and of itself. If you like your historical fiction with a hefty dash of fantasy, this is the book for you!

If I may share some of my innocuous headcanons

P.S. anything that happened after S6 didn't happen. And half of the stuff that happened after S3 didn't happen like that.

Hales

Peter has an identical twin named Thomas. He hates Thomas and Thomas doesn't understand why, but Peter argues he knows what he did (he doesn't)

Peter and Thomas have a triplet sister. Her name is Shane. (This is what happens when I try to play out the Hale family tree in the Sims)

There is another sister between Peter and Talia. Her name is Shannon. She was 15 when her mother announced her surprise pregnancy. Talia was stunned and Shannon broke down in tears

Talia: You're not going to be the least favorite Shannon: Oh, is it going to be the baby? Is it going to be you? Talia: ... You're right, you're going to be the least favorite

Talia didn't like how Thomas and Shane had jobs and Peter didn't, so she made him get one after school. It didn't matter what it was as long as he was working. He tried (unsuccessfully) to get himself fired

It's also where he met Corinne. Malia and Jackson (obviously he's Peter's kid) were conceived in a Macy's changing room

If Peter had a say in naming his kids, he would have either chosen Celia and Collin (after his parents who died when he was young) or Petra and Peter Jr.

(According to my Sims game) Derek has 7 sisters. You've heard of Laura and Cora, now get ready for Zora, Nora, Aurora, Flora, and Dora

Brett says his family was killed in a fire. If this town had more than one family killing fire, people would know that (and hopefully mention it). Brett and Lori are cousins of the Hales

Sometimes the family visits their Great Aunt Barkley. That's just what they call her, no one knows her real relation, her real name, or which side of the family she's related to

Talia and Deucalion were besties. He definitely had unrequited feelings for her

When Cora was young, she was pissed she wasn't getting attention since she's the baby, so she cut her hair off into a choppy bob

The Hales have a famous recipe for mashed potatoes and cheesecake. It is a huge deal if a Hale introduces the recipe to someone they're dating. They may as well be engaged

No one born into the Hale family is straight. It's illegal

If Peter had been born a girl, his name would have been Charlotte

Non-Hales

Stiles has identical twin girls that Noah cannot tell apart to save his life. Luckily, Melissa can

To prank Rafael, when Scott was in college he made up fake children named Chad Daniel and Emma. He uses photoshop to send his father their school photos. He did it really poorly too (on purpose) and even after years of this going on, Rafael refuses to believe he doesn't have grandchildren he's never met named Chad Daniel and Emma

Scott names his real daughter Emma, but his son is not named Chad Daniel

As a child, Allison's dream job was dancer

Chris is bisexual, but never really put it together. Allison had to come out for him

After Kira finished her training with the skinwalkers, she left California to earn her degree, but she came back to work in Beacon Hills

Ethan and Aiden's mother is a flight attendant and when she was away, baby Ethan developed a fever. His father didn't know what to do and put him in the fridge to cool down. If Ethan died, his father was going to tell his wife that she was so high on drugs she hallucinated having twins and there was only just Aiden

Theo got heat stroke on a first date because he refused to take off his leather jacket

[madlori]

Hey Lori, what do you make of the next three episode titles for 9-1-1?

Ep. 7: "Ghost of a Second Chance"

Ep. 8: "Step Nine"

Ep 9: "Unfinished Business"

If we take "Step Nine" as referring to one of the 12 steps of recovery in Alcoholics Anonymous, that would be "making amends to everyone who has been harmed by your actions".

Put all three of these together, and we could be looking at another three-parter storyline. Perhaps about a character who has died? Or someone who is on the verge of death?

Advance intel points to a several episode arc for Bobby, which dovetails nicely with that 9 Steps title. There seems to be a running theme of ghosts in this season - the synopsis for episode 7 indicates Eddie will be dealing with feelings about someone from his past (Shannon, maybe?). My guess is that there'll be more about Bobby's past and the death of his family and there'll be some Diaz family drama too (Ryan's referenced some secrets being learned from Abuela, who was randomly in the last episode with no explanation).
