I'm no good at writing humor, y'all.

Deadly Games - 2018 Visual Entertainment - 3-DVD set - UPN 1995 - 13 Episodes . . UPN launched in 1995 with Star Trek Voyager and several shows that only lasted one 13 episode season. Most of which had ties to Star Trek.  . Legend - Steam-Punk Western starring Richard Dean Anderson and John de Lancie Marker - Detective show starring Richard Grieco and Gates McFadden The Watcher - Anthology show w/ host Sir Mix-A-Lot . . Dangerous Games was a campy show like the 1966 Batman show or the 1994 Robocop series. Like the Batman show, Deadly Games featured over the top villains each week. Video game villains escape the game and our trio of heroes must stop them before they rule the world or something. Leonard Nimoy was executive producer, creative consultant and directed the pilot.  . . . Christopher Lloyd (Back To The Future, The Addams Family, Star Trek III) played the main villain of the show. Cynthia Gibb (Fame, Youngblood, Short Circuit 2) played the girlfriend and got top billing on the show. James Calvert and Stephen Kay played the other two heroes.  . . The Guest cast included Brent Spiner, LeVar Burton, Dwight Schultz, Jeremy Renner, Mark Pellegrino, Shirley Jones, Jimmie Walker, Kathy Ireland, Downtown Julie Brown, Anthony Michael Hall, Sam McMurray, Page Leong, Melanie Smith (DS9), Allison Smith (West Wing, Spy Games), J.D. Hall, Mark Daniel Cade, Krista Allen and a photo of Erik Estrada.  . . . For the last 25 years I have had just vague memories of this show. @CBSAllAccess should really put these early UPN shows on their streaming service.  . . .   #dangerousgames #upn #christopherlloyd #cynthiagibb #brentspiner #startrek #cbsallacess #levarburton #legend #startrekvoyager #marker #nowhereman #picard #startrekdiscovery #kathyireland #shirleyjones #anthonymichaelhall #TVonDVD #kristaallen #jimmiewalker #jeremyrenner #dwightschultz #sammcmurray #allisonsmith #viacom #melaniesmith #classictv #jake2point0 #thewatcher #unitedparamountnetwork   (at Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAP4j_whbvA/?igshid=1cr9y30hcjtqm

Hey! I've been a writer since 2020 and I'm heavily committed to the fandoms I'm in! If you want me to write about a character in HC's or a Drabble don't be afraid to ask! I’m more of an A03 Writer than I am on Tumblr; please keep that in mind.

The finest dish in Kalos!

The Balance on Paiso

I’m not just your average mechanic

Fix your grammar 

Breaking the 4th wall!

I’m not much a bug person

A deity in human clothing

A well needed trip to the masseuse

Road Trip 

Harmonic Memories 

Holiday lab Parties

Lysandre (Pokémon X & Y)

Getting the lion’s attention

Speeding down the ski slopes (Poly with Professor Sycamore)

Los premios Grammy, si bien no son conocidos por recavar información de los recovecos de la música y quedarse con los nombres pesados o lo que los especialistas (algunos) musicales han plasmado como lo mejor, tienen un gran lugar mediático y contribuyen en como puede moverse el mercado musical.

Everything I Read in 2016

For the third year in a row, I logged every novel, short story collection, poetry compilation, graphic novel, and collected edition of monthly comics I read, excluding individual monthly comics (on which I continued to fall catastrophically behind) and anything I read (and reread, and reread again) for my day job. My only big change? A lot of these books were read on my iPad Mini. And a good number were for my gay book club (you can guess which ones). 

If you don’t yet keep track of your reading, you should start in 2017. It’s your best bet for hitting a reading goal, and for folks like me who read a ton, it’s a nice way to recall books that otherwise departed your memory.

For the tl;dr crowd, here are my Top 13 for the year, in the order in which I read them:

On Writing, Stephen King

Binti, Nnedi Okorafor

The Girls, Emma Cline

I Am a Hero Vol. 1 & Vol. 2, Kengo Hanazawa

Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe, Benjamin Alire Saenz

The Hero: Book Two, David Rubín

Night Sky With Exit Wounds, Ocean Vuong

Lincoln in the Bardo, George Saunders (I read an ARC)

A Choir of Ill Children, Tom Piccirilli

Habitat, Simon Roy

Prez Vol. 1, Mark Russell, Ben Caldwell, Domo Stanton

Bones of the Coast, edited by Shannon Campbell, Jeff Ellis, Kathleen Jacques

(New X-Men Omnibus was a re-read, or it would be up here.)

The rest is below the jump!

I don’t really feel like dumping on anything this year. I definitely got burnt out on comic anthologies, and I hated A Little Life, but the good outweighs the bad. Below is the full list, divided by month, followed by a few statistics and an evaluation of my 2016 reading goals as established last January. 

[A note on comics: I feel guilty that I’ve left off colorists and inkers, as they contribute so much to a book, but I defaulted to cover credits while logging my reading and don’t have most of these books on-hand to fix it now.]

January

The Amazing World of Gumball: Fairy Tale Trouble, Megan Brennan, Katy Farina, Jeremy Lawson

Adventure Time: Masked Mayhem, Kate Leth, Bridget Underwood, Drew Green, Vaughn Pinpin, Meredith McClaren

39 Novels or short story collections (down from 43 in 2015 and 44 in 2014)

98 Graphic novels/collected editions of comics (up from 84 in 2015 and a measly 42 in 2014)

3 Books of poetry (triple the 2015 and 2014 counts!)

About 35 Books written or edited by female authors (up from 20 in 2015 and 16 in 2014; note that I’m only counting writers and editors, not artists, and I’m counting books, not unique authors)

Roughly 19 books by (known-to-be) non-white authors (down from 30 last year but up from 9 in 2014...but both this year and last were inflated by multiple entries from manga creators)

...and at least 16 books written or edited by queer and trans authors. 

So...any suggestions for 2017?

Open letter to Theresa May

Dear Prime Minister,

The government's decision to close the "Dubs" lifeline for vulnerable refugee children is truly shameful. The idea that as a country we will slam the door shut after just 350 children have reached safety is completely unacceptable. Lord Dubs was himself a child saved by Sir Nicholas Winton who rescued 669 children virtually single-handed. It is embarrassing that the Prime Minister's entire government will not even manage to match the example set by her former constituent all those years ago, let alone the efforts of the Kindertransport movement of which he was a part which saved 10,000 children from the Nazis. It is clear from the work of charities like Citizens UK's Safe Passage project and Help Refugees with unaccompanied child refugees across Greece, Italy and France that where these safe and legal routes are blocked, children are left with a terrible choice between train tracks on the one hand and people traffickers on the other. The government's threadbare consultation with councils is now nine months out of date. The country we know and love is bigger than this. Communities and councils across the country stand ready to do more. The government must agree to extend the programme and re-consult with councils immediately.

Yours truly,

Akram Khan Alex Jennings Alice Temperley Amanda Craig Amanda Jennings Andrew O'Hagan Anish Kapoor, Sir Anna Maxwell Martin Anne Fine Anoushka Shankar Anthony McGowan Antonia Honeywell Antony Gormley Arlene Phillips Beeban Kidron Bella Freud Ben Drew aka Plan B Ben Whishaw Benedict Cumberbatch Betsy Tobin Bill Nighy Bill Paterson Billy Bragg Blake Morrison Candy Gourlay Carey Mulligan Carol Drinkwater Caroline Flack Charlotte Gainsbourg Charlotte Mendelson Chris Cleave Christina Koning Clare Morpurgo Coldplay Daniel Hahn David Hare David Heyman David Lan David Nicholls Dawn O'Porter Douglas Booth Ed Simons Ed Skrein Edgar Wright Edna O'Brien Elif Shafak Emilia Fox Emily Eavis Emma Freud Evie Wyld Fiona Dunbar Frances Thomas Francesca Simon Frank Cottrell Boyce Gary Lineker Gok Wan Hannah Beckerman Harriet Lane Harriet Walter Helen Dunmore Helena Kennedy QC Henry Goodman Henry Porter Hot Chip Hugh Brody Ian Rickson Imogen Stubbs Jack Harries James McConnachie Jamie Byng Jamie Cullum Jane Casey Jane Harris Jane Johnson Jane Wickenden Jason Flemyng Jason Isaacs Jemma Redgrave Jeremy Hardy Jessica Fellowes Jessie Burton Jessie Ware Joanna Briscoe Joanna Trollope Joanne Harris Joe Wright Joely Richardson John McCarthy John Wilson Jojo Moyes Jon Courtenay Grimwood Jon McGregor Jonny Lee Miller Jude Law Judy Astley Julia Williams Julie Bertagna Juliet Stevenson Kate Mosse Kate Pullinger Katharine Quarmby Katharine Rundell Katherine Langrish Keira Knightley Keren David Kit Berry Lauren St John Lee Hall Lesley Manville Lia Williams Lily Allen Lily Cole Linda Grant Lisa Appignanesi Liz Fremantle Lu Hersey Lucy Coats Lucy Daniel Raby Lucy Popescu Lynda Edward Maggie O'Farrell Mark Rylance Mary Hoffman Mary Kay Wilmers Matt Smith Meg Rosoff Meredith Miller Michael Morpurgo Michael Winterbottom Mick Moon Miranda Gold Miranda Richardson Nadifa Mohamed Nell Leyshon Nicci Gerrard Nick Dewey Nicky Matthews Browne Nicole Farhi Nina Killham Noel Fielding Noma Dumezweni Paloma Faith Patricia Ferguson Patrick Gale Paul Dowswell Pauline Chandler Penny Dolan Peter Bently Peter Bunzl Philip Pullman Philippa Stjernsward Pippa Harris Ralph Fiennes Rebecca Abrams Rhiannon Lassiter Rhys Ifans Richard Davenport-Hines Rick Smith Riz Ahmed Roger Allam Rogers of Riverside Rose Boyt Rowan Coleman Rowan Williams Ruby Wax Ruth Negga Ruth Rogers Sabrina Guinness Salley Vickers Sam Baker Sam Frears Samira Osman Sandi Toksvig Sarah Dunant Sarah Waters Sonia Friedman Sophie Dahl Stephen Daldry Stephen Frears Stephen Poliakoff Steven Knight Tammy Cohen Terence Blacker Terry Stiastny Tess Morris Tim Piggott-Smith Tom Odell Tom Rowlands Tom Stoppard Tracey Seaward Tracy Chevalier Ursula Owen Vanessa Harbour Vicken Parsons Vicky McClure Zoe Wanamaker
