Okay so let’s get one thing straight: all of the main characters were toxic at one point or another, for some characters they were just consistently toxic

Here is a list of my interpretation from least toxic to most

7.) Dana Fairbanks

6.) Helena Peabody

5.) Shane McCutcheon

4.) Alice Pieszecki

3.) Bette Porter

2.) Tina Kennard

1.) Jenny Schecter

For my list I’m keeping track of not only romantic and sexual toxicity— I’m keeping in mind the ways in which they treat their friends and other characters

the complete 180 in jenny’s treatment of max from season 3 to season 6 is the worst writing i have ever seen on tv

#she was SO supportive and sweet and that's the real jenny #ilene's writing was so garbage i have no words #except jail time #jenny schecter #the l word #when she told max 'don't hide' god she's so caring and understanding #so much more connected and a deeper thinker than everyone else #I WILL DEFEND MISS JENNIFER SCHECTER FOREVERRRR #nothing makes me so crazy jaflalisfjsal #yes i am rewatching the show which is why you will get a lot of unhinged posts such as this

[disasterarea-podcast]

So given the writer’s strike, some people are concerned about their shows and movies being postponed or canceled, and aside from the fact networks have already BEEN canceling shows for no reason for years (I still maintain a healthy anger about what Netflix did to Sense8), I thought I would suggest some books on disasters you might want to read if you’re into that sort of history. Which you are if you’re here, I imagine.

Note: I’m suggesting these books because most books on disasters don’t get a huge audience, and so I recommend them because this sort of writing can be hard on the writer and requires a bunch of research. We throw so much money at true crime, we can spare a few bucks for the stories of people who died in disasters.

Also, please check with these with your local small bookstore or library. Amazon can be great, but let’s lend a hand to those who need us more.

Recommended books:

“The Circus Fire,” by Stewart O’Nan - This is one my favorite books on a disaster, because the whole thing creates a very vivid image of the circus prior to the fire in Hartford in July of 1944. There’s one specific line in the book which always makes me pause because it’s so affecting, about how everyone who escaped being able to hear the sounds of the animals screaming as they died - except all of the animals were out of the tent by then.

“The Only Plane in the Sky,” by Garrett Graff - This, I highly recommend you get on audiobook. It’s an oral history of the events of 9/11 with a full cast, and it’s incredibly affecting to listen to.

“Ada Blackjack: A True Story of Survival in the Arctic,” by Jennifer Niven - Ada Blackjack was a badass: flawed and weak at times, but hardy and steady when necessary. Half of her story is how she survived, but half is how she was exploited following her rescue. Both stories need to be known.

“Alive,” by Piers Paul Read - If you’re watching “Yellowjackets,” this should be required reading. If you’ve seen the movie adaptation from the 90s, there is WAY more you don’t know. The story of Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571 is a tough read, but a worthy one.

“A Night to Remember,” by Walter Lord - This is to disaster nonfiction what “In Cold Blood” is to true crime. It’s not a long read, but it’s a great one. Lord had the advantage of writing the book while many of the Titanic survivors were still alive and could give a very good description of what they went through.

“Dying to Cross,” by Jorge Ramos - I recommend this not just because it is good, but because it is timely. Nineteen people died in an un-air-conditioned truck as they were attempting to make their way into the states from over the Mexican border. It’s a horrific story, and one that humanizes an issue for whom some people need to be faced with the humans involved and what they go through.

“Bath Massacre: America’s First School Bombing,” by Arnie Bernstein - Harold Schecter also wrote a very good book on the Bath school massacre called “Maniac,” but I have a preference for this version. It’s a good reminder that schools in the U.S. didn’t just become targets in the last twenty years or so.

“Into Thin Air,” by Jon Krakauer - I feel like this is a gimme, but it’s a fantastic book from someone who was actually on Mount Everest during the 1996 disaster and knew those involved very well. I happen to like Krakauer’s work anyway - I even like “Into the Wild” despite my feelings about McCandless and his legacy - but it’s understandably my favorite.

“And the Band Played On,” by Randy Shilts - The one thing I will say is that Shilts’ treatment of Gaetan Dugas is *rough* to say the least and outright wrong on some points, God knows. But it’s still an amazing book, and if you come out of it not wanting to dig up Reagan and punch him a bunch I’m impressed at your restraint.

“Triangle: The Fire That Changed America,” by David von Drehle - The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire is one of the disasters I am most interested in, and I would argue this is the definitive book on the subject. Also, if this book introduces you to both Clara Lemlich and Frances Perkins … I mean, talk about badass women.

“The Radium Girls,” by Kate Moore - Look, I’ll say this. If you know of the Radium Girls, this is a great book on their story. If you don’t know, go in blind and prepared to be horrified.

“Red Famine: Stalin’s War on Ukraine,” by Anne Applebaum - Ukraine has always been a target. During the Holodomor, they were victims of one of the worst genocides in history.

“Midnight in Chernobyl,” by Adam Higginbotham - Like the miniseries? This is a great source for more information for what happened at Chernobyl and all of the ass-covering involved.

"Boston Strong: A City's Triumph Over Tragedy," by Casey Sherman and Dave Wedge - If you’re interested in the Boston marathon bombing, I really thought this book did a good job of connecting the stories of the victims, the authorities searching for the killers, and the killers themselves.

“Show Me the Bodies: How We Let Grenfell Tower,” by Peter Apps - As I understand it, Apps did a lot of covering the Grenfell Tower fire for the British press, and it shows. He provides a mountain of information, and you will come out of reading this book absolutely LIVID about what authorities allowed to happen in Grenfell and so many other council estates in the UK.

“Dark Tide: The Great Molasses Flood of 1919,” by Stephen Puleo - I feel as though the molasses flood gets treated like a joke a lot of the time, but y’all, twenty people died. That area of Boston was *wrecked*. The photos of the devastation are terrifying. Puleo treats all of this with the proper respect it deserves.

“In the Heart of the Sea: The Tragedy of the Whaleship Essex,” by Nathaniel Philbrick - Forget the movie. Read the book.

“The Great Influenza,” by John M. Barry - Want to read about the 1918 flu epidemic? Want to be mad that a hundred years later we didn’t learn a damn thing?

Now, that’s just a start. If anyone wants, I can always post photos of my disaster book collection on Kindle and next to my recording desk. Or if there’s a specific disaster you’re interested in, I may know of a good book about it you can read.

But just remember if SAG and the directors’ guild joins the strike too - there is so much out there to occupy your time until they come back. Entertainment work is work, and it deserves to be supported financially and fairly as such. Rock on, WGA. ✊

I know Mia Kirshner has been in so many other things and I do genuinely like her acting but The L Word destroyed me. I cannot shake the spectre of Jennifer Schecter.

#Just like everyone else in that show amiright !

[valkyriesexual]

i got tagged in that thing about ‘post 8 shows to get to know me better’ which like... i feel like none of this makes any sense and i am dating myself here. but nevertheless.

1. buffy the vampire slayer (1997 - 2003). listen. it’s iconic. i have complicated feelings about it now, given everything we know about what the actresses went through on set with joss whedon, but at the time, it was formative. faith in the leather pants eating twizzlers in that apartment that the mayor put her up in is one of my earliest “oh i’m kinda gay” moments. belonging pt 2 still makes me cry. willow and tara. i’ll never be over it.

2. queer as folk (1999 - 2005) obviously, in the late 90s / early 2000s i was searching for queer rep anywhere i could find it.  we had just gotten direct tv, i think so my dad could watch the sopranos. little did he know, i was watching 30 year old brian fucking 18 year old justin taylor on the lowest tv volume possible after sneaking into the living room at 2 in the morning after everyone else had gone to bed. is it good representation? is it fucked up that the relationship that anchored the show was between a grown man and a teenager? i wasn’t thinking about it like that when i watched it.  i was just absolutely in awe. 

3. the l word (2004 - 2009) listen. if you watched the l word and wanted to bang shane, you were probably straight.  if you watched the l word and wanted to get railed by jennifer beals, you were just a mortal. if you watched the l word and wanted to be jenny schecter before she got that little dog... you were me. i may have been the only one in the world? i don’t know what that says about me.

4. charmed (og) (1998 - 2006) i watched charmed reruns literally every single day after school.  i adored charmed.  beautiful powerful women living in san francisco with the most bonkers late-90s / early 2000s fashion fighting demons? i was all in.  i remember my dad telling me that he thought holly marie combs was “plain looking” and i’m still offended.  Its been 25 years.

5. south of nowhere (2005 - 2008) i feel like i was the only person in the world who watched this show. it was on nickelodeon (???). it had 3 seasons. gabrielle christian moves from ohio to los angeles and falls in love with mandy musgrave. it disappeared and tbqh i can barely believe it aired when and where it did.

6. crazy ex girlfriend (2015 - 2019) a show about older ppl for an older me. i obviously relate a lot to a california attorney with a complicated relationship with her body and mental health struggles.  so. i stopped watching before the last season so i could continue to live in my fantasy world where rebecca was with nathaniel.  i know i’m in the minority, but i thought they were perfect together. the chemistry was off the charts. he matched her intellect. i loved it.

7. orange is the new black (2013 - 2020). i mean, it basically started off the rise of netflix’s original content, right? i mean, now, looking at how netflix treats their original content creators, it’s bad. but still.  and i think about danielle brooks saying "so I'm sitting there, bbq sauce on my tiddies" all the time. and i’ll never be over what they did to poussey. and how they handled it the next season by painting the killer corrections official as sympathetic. i didn’t watch anything after that season.

8. skins uk (2007-2013). this is another one that i have complicated feelings about, given what the now-adult actors have said about their experience filming the show as teens. the star power this show brought us though. dev patel. daniel kaluuya. jack o’connell. kaya scodelario. it was really something. i remember downloading it and watching it on my first laptop sitting on my fire escape and smoking as a college student and thinking that i was just so deep and grown up. how embarassing lmfao fml

November 1: Are You Afraid of the Dark 1x01 - 1x06

Yesterday I picked up my sort-of rewatch of Are You Afraid of the Dark? after roughly a year’s hiatus, because I need better ‘not really paying attention but want noise’ watching than Love Is Blind (which I’m totally not watching right now lol) or crappy Netflix docs.

Here are my thoughts so far, for no particular reason, including my thoughts on eps I watched in November 2021:

The Tale of the Phantom Cab: I watched this as a kid and it was TOO scary and you know what, child me was right. This absolutely holds up as a legitimately disturbing horror story. The only thing that really marks it as being a kids’ show (other than...the kids) is the way the boys turned toward the camera and screamed at the scariest moment. That was 100% Pure 1992 Nickelodeon.

The Tale of the Laughing in the Dark: A spooky clown tale. Not anywhere near as good as Phantom Cab but I do like the set of the House of Mirrors, which is an intriguing horror aesthetic I’d like to be better versed in. Also, the backstory for the clown is a little adult, isn’t it?

The Tale of the Lonely Ghost: Another one from last year, the only part of which I really remember is that it ends in a rather sweet, sad way. Also I looked up one of the actors for some reason and found out she became a film professor at NYU or something of the sort.

The Tale of the Twisted Claw: I love a good take on the Monkey’s Paw.

The Tale of the Hungry Hounds: Primarily memorable for starring Miss Jennifer Schecter herself, Mia Kirshner, this is actually a really dark story? Like they definitely don’t sound it out for the kids, but the plot is roughly that the girl befriended the fox that was supposed to be used in the hunt, ie torn apart by foxes, and then she let the fox go and also got into a riding accident and either because she literally died or because the fox was dinner, the hounds became so hungry they killed a man, and now everyone is haunted by these events. That’s several kinds of messed up. Is the lesson “do your chores even if you DIE?” Or just “don’t interfere in the natural way of things, let that fox be EATEN?”

The Tale of the Super Specs: Decidedly more funny than scary and the first episode to feature SarDO. The idea of parallel universes doesn’t really get to me as a scary concept but I will give this episode three things: first, it was funny and I appreciated that; second, the idea of figures you can only see with certain glasses but even then you just see faceless black shapes is actually really cool but I wish they had really been ghosts; and third, this is the first episode, and one of the few overall I believe, NOT to have a happy ending, which does take some guts.

앱토스 (Aptos), 10억 달러 법적 소송으로부터 안전

사기, 지분 분배 등의 이유로 피소 당했던 앱토스가 한숨을 돌렸다.

초기 투자자 샤리 글레이저 (Shari Glazer)는 부도덕성, 지분 배분 미 이행을 이유로 줄곧 앱토스를 괴롭혀왔다. 지난 3월에는 10억달러의 손해배상 소송을 걸었다.

하지만, 법원이 앱토스 10억달러 손배 피소에, 앱토스 손을 들어줬다.

���난 10월 10일 공개된 법원 녹취록에 따르면, 3건의 법적 청구�� 법원에서 기각됐다. 집행 가능한 증거를 찾을 수 없다는 이유다. 재판을 진행한 제니퍼 젝터 ( Jennifer Schecte)판사는 증거 중심으로 판결을 내렸다.

하지만 계약 위반, 부당이득, 지분 분배 등에 관한 3건은 "소송계속" 상태로 남겨졌다. 특히 지분 분배는 글레이저가 앱토스 모기업 마토니의 지분 50%를 행사하는 부분이다.

앱토스는 지난 7월 FTX 벤처가 주도한 시리즈 A 펀딩에서 1억 5천만 달러를 추가로 조달한 바 있다.

---------------------------

Court partially denies Aptos Labs' motion to dismiss Glazer's $1 billion lawsuit

A judge has partially denied a motion by Aptos Labs CEO Mohammed “Mo” Shaikh to dismiss a lawsuit filed by entrepreneur Shari Glazer, who claims to have been cheated out of equity as an early investor.

According to a court transcript published on Oct. 10, fraud and three other legal claims were dismissed by the court, while three others were allowed to proceed, specifically breach of contract, unjust enrichment, and Glazer's alleged entitlement to 50% of Matonee, parent company of Aptos Labs.

In her decisions, Justice Jennifer Schecter stated that “there is no universe in which the complaint is going to be dismissed,” continuing: “I just don't see at this pleading stage how I can find as a matter of law that there is any evidence that completely refutes the existence of an enforceable agreement between these parties; and certainly, there's no way that she doesn't have a claim at the very least for unjust enrichment either.”

Glazer demands up to $1 billion in the lawsuit.

The decision was seen as a positive development by Aptos Labs.

In July, Aptos Labs closed a $150 million funding round to advance its efforts in the Web3 space in a round co-led by FTX Ventures and Jump Crypto, along with Andreessen Horowitz, Apollo, Franklin Templeton and Circle Ventures.
