10 female characters

List 10 of your favourite female characters from 10 different fandoms (tagged by @tangledupinmist)

Shelagh Turner- Call the Midwife

April Ludgate-Dwyer- Parks and Rec 

Elsie Hughes/Carson- Downton Abbey

Phoebe Buffay- Friends

Paris Geller- Gilmore Girls

Karen Brockman- Outnumbered

Lucy Pevensie- The Chronicles of Narnia

Anne Shirley- Anne of Green Gables

The March Sisters- Little Women

Random questions from @eatapinkwafer (There were a lot so I’ll just choose some.) 

1. How much do your real life friends/family know about your fandom life?

I try to keep it on the down low because I go crazy when I’m in a fandom. They don’t know how much I get into shows. 

2. What’s a recurring theme of fanfictions of you OTP that you find annoying/dislike?

My OTP is Turnadette. I’ll probably get a lot of hate for this but I don’t like how people write Angela’s adoption and Teddy’s birth. Quite a few people often make it sound like they love Teddy more than Angela because he was “actually their child” and they just had to “settle” with Angela before they had Teddy. I love Teddy a lot and I’m so glad they had him, but the complexity of it all is often written strangely. 

3. What’s the meaning behind your tumblr name?

I talk a lot and I play the violin.

4. Have you ever written fanfic?

Yes. 

5. What was your first fandom?

Downton Abbey

6. Where would you like to see your OTP vacation and why?

Most anywhere in America because I live here and I’d love to see their impressions of everything.

7. Who are you most like personality wise in your favourite fandom?

Sister Winnifred, I love her cheekiness and sense of humor 

8. What’s something you’d never thought you’d do but have because of a fandom?

Read a mystery thriller ;) 

9. What scene first got you hooked to your OTP?

Shelagh helping Patrick through his breakdown in Season 4 (I first watched CtM sometimes with my parents and just saw random episodes before I watched it from the beginning.)

I’d be really surprised if you read all of this, but there’s a bit about me haha

A few notes on my first 100 episodes of "The Business of Fun"

Today or tomorrow I will release the 100th episode of my podcast, “The Business of Fun“.

In anticipation of releasing that episode, I wanted to take a moment and share some thoughts from the first 100 episodes and what I’ve learned.

Share your voice:

I’d been consulting for a while and I had been on and off about how much I would or wouldn’t share my ideas with the world.

I wrote regularly, still do. For publications, big and small.

But I didn’t really know if my message was getting across in the way that I desired it to.

So when Lara from Harris Blitzer emailed me about doing a podcast and offering up one of their executives as the first guest, I took it as a chance to really see if people would listen to the podcast and whether or not my point of view would really be relevant to the world of tickets, sports business, performing arts, and live entertainment.

The answer is yes. I look at the numbers sometimes and I’m amazed that so many folks trust me as a resource to think about marketing, sales, and revenue.

While I’m often the face and the bullhorn behind a lot of this, I’m happy that I’ve been able to shine a light on a lot of folks that are really smart, talented, and thoughtful that don’t always get the chance to share their ideas except at conferences or only in one context.

It was a real delight to have Richard Howle come and introduce him to audiences in the US and Canada that might not know him.

It was awesome to have on Jo Michel and Angela Higgins to share their work on the Ticketing Professionals Conference in Sydney and to introduce them to all of y’all that listen to me and read my work.

I could go on and I have tried to throughout the 20 months of the podcast’s life so far.

But my challenge to you is to take your ideas and share them with the world as well.

Yesterday, I shared my first guest post from Zach Brockman. And, I want to try and do more of those kinds of things that give people a chance to reach a new audience, test drive their ideas and teach other folks about the things that are important to them and that will give folks the chance to grow in their careers and their business.

Don’t be afraid to take a stand:

Somewhere along the line, someone mentioned to me that the thing they liked was that I “took a stand on topics” but I would also change my mind.

If you learn something new and it doesn’t change the way that you look at a situation, you are either dogmatic or dense.

That out of the way, I’ve been trying to build my public-facing brand around the idea that I want to always ask the question: “What if that isn’t true?”

This just means that I am contrarian by design and not because I’m trying to be disagreeable.

In truth, I hope that what comes out of a lot of the work I do around tickets, marketing, and revenue shows up as a deep love for the opportunities I have been fortunate enough to have and a desire to ensure that these businesses are stronger than ever so that others can continue to be successful and have great opportunities as well.

A few things I hope I’ve improved at:

When I started the podcast, I didn’t have any expectations for its viability. So I didn’t really prepare a lot for it.

Please, don’t listen to the first one or two. I really only started to figure it out when I did the third episode with my friend, Martin Gammeltoft.

That’s when I realized that I had a perspective and a point of view that would lead me to ask questions in a way that wasn’t like other folks.

I also learned that my global perspective was going to be an asset.

Over time, I became comfortable with that.

But here are 3 things I hope I’ve really improved upon over the first 100 episodes:

Asking questions

Bringing diverse voices

Presenting ideas in a way that you can take action on them

What is next?

I’ll have a few things to share on the podcast, but there are 3 big themes that will guide me going forward from episode 100:

I want to continue to expand the voices that I share with y’all. I want to continue to dig deeper to give a wider range of voices the chance to share their opinions and ideas.

I’m going to look for new ways to share my ideas and deliver value to you. If you haven’t had a chance to sign up for my ‘Talking Tickets‘ newsletter yet, what are you waiting on? It has an almost 60% open rate and I get so many replies telling me how valuable it is.

I plan on showing up in more places. I’m talking with Booking Protect and Activity Stream right now about doing a roadshow with some workshops and happy hours so people can learn some marketing ideas, get some action items, and move their business forward…by coming to y’all in your town! I also chatted with Angela Higgins, Jo Michel, Oli Shawyer, and Trishan Naidoo about returning to Australia in the fall.

Strategy, marketing, money, and sales:

I’ve been trying to focus on more things strategy over the last 6-12 months and I am going to continue to let that guide me. So you’ll likely notice a renewed focus on strategy, action items, and revenue!

I hope you don’t mind that.

Let me thank a few folks:

I’ve been blessed to know Simon Mabb and Cat Spencer from Booking Protect. They are great folks and great partners. Don’t believe me, look at What Matters In Ticketing Now. 

Check out the blogs on trends, service, and the many other topics that we’ve explored and the ideas that they’ve helped me develop through the podcast.

I’d like to thank Andrew Thomas for giving me the original podcast idea back in 2017. We never took action on it, but it planted the seed. If you have never been to the Ticketing Professionals Conference in Birmingham, you should go. It was one of the best gatherings of ticket folks in the world.

I want to thank the family at INTIX for being so generous with their attention and their desire to make sure I had a home in the organization. I’ll for never be able to remember everyone, but Maureen, Tiffany, Anthony, Danny, Derek, and Guislaine have all been extremely generous with their time, their ideas, and their support.

Angela and Jo gave me the thrill of a lifetime by asking me to open their new conference, Ticketing Professionals Conference Australia in November. Like I’ve said many times, if you have never been to Sydney, you must go.

All the guests, thank you!

I know that Corey, Martin, and Eric are always dueling it out to come back and take the lead on having been on the most…but really, I couldn’t have done it without every guest I’ve had.

Finally, thank you for your attention, your support, and your continued dedication to growing!

A few notes on my first 100 episodes of “The Business of Fun” was originally published on Wakeman Consulting Group

[royalpain16]

Prince Andrew's weasel words are an insult to our intelligence, says royal author ANGELA LEVIN, and the Duke of York's statement was staggeringly arrogant 

I had hoped when I wrote in The Mail on Sunday last week asking him to come clean about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein that he might finally reveal what he knew of the disgraced financier's activities.

Instead, he has done the opposite and in the process insulted our intelligence by making a series of mealy-mouthed claims.

The statement released by the Palace 'From His Royal Highness The Duke of York' claimed that he is 'eager to clarify the facts to avoid speculation'. In practice, however, he has done nothing of the kind

Who is advising him on such appalling PR? Under close examination, the claims in his statement are palpable nonsense.

In the first paragraph, Andrew says that he had an 'association or friendship with Mr Epstein'. Well, which one is it? Because it can't be both.

Would he invite someone who was a mere associate to the June 2000 Dance Of The Decades party at Windsor Castle?

This event was hosted by the Queen to mark Andrew's 40th, Princess Anne's 50th, Princess Margaret's 70th and Prince William's 18th birthday. It seems odd that you would invite someone to such an occasion if you merely had an 'association'.

Ask yourself this: How many associates do you have at your significant birthday celebrations and family events? But it gets worse. In the autumn of that year, Andrew flew to New York and attended a Halloween 'hookers and bondage' party in Manhattan hosted by Epstein.

Most people who received the invitation would have instantly known the nature of the bash. Did the theme not put him off his 'association'?

What's more is that in December that same year, Epstein attended a party Andrew threw for Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's close friend and alleged madam, at Sandringham.

Subsequently all three associates or friends travelled to Phuket in Thailand to celebrate New Year.

Again, how many associates do you have who you have gone away with to celebrate the New Year?

Regardless of how he wants to term their relationship, one thing is clear: The Duke and Epstein met at least four times in 2000. 

Strange, then, that the Duke's statement yesterday reads: 'During the time I knew him, I saw him infrequently and probably no more than only once or twice a year.'

Besides expecting our Royals not to hang around with paedophiles, we also expect them to be honest. This whole statement reeks.

Does Andrew really expect us to believe that someone he did not know well and only saw infrequently was invited into the Royals' inner sanctum?

There is also the very real problem that senior Royals need to be – and usually are – careful about who they befriend.

Naturally, they don't want to mix with those who might tarnish the family's good name

Yet within a very short space of time, Andrew was inviting Epstein to an enviable list of Royal events. What does that say about his judgment?

In the statement, he goes on: 'At no stage during the limited time I spent with him [Epstein] did I see, witness or suspect any behaviour of the sort that subsequently led to his arrest and conviction.'

This echoes Buckingham Palace's statement last week, which declared: 'The Duke of York has been appalled by the recent reports of Jeffrey Epstein's alleged crimes.' But this is not the point – and he knows it.

Andrew simply cannot escape the fact that he stayed with Epstein once he was already on the sex offender register after serving time inside for sexual abuse.

As The Mail on Sunday reports today, he stayed for six days and enjoyed a party thrown in his honour.

According to an email exchange between journalist Evgeny Morozov and US literary agent John Brockman, Andrew whined about his public profile.

Brockman said the Prince claimed: 'In Monaco [Prince] Albert works 12 hours a day but at 9pm when he goes out he does whatever he wants and nobody cares. But if I do it, I'm in big trouble.

Andrew now admits it was 'a mistake and an error' to continue their relationship after Epstein's release in 2010 and adds: 'I have tremendous sympathy for all those affected by his actions and behaviour.' 

But how does his statement really address his ongoing meetings with Epstein?

And his sympathy is not going to help any of the young girls Epstein abused to get justice for their degrading, life-changing traumas.

If he really had such 'tremendous sympathy' he would speak to US authorities about what he knows of his former friend. Actions speak far louder than words

Press Release:

Discoteca Analitica reassesses the emergence of multimedia experiments in the Sixties based on the range of early varieties of discotheque. The exhibition offers an immersive experience bringing together Californian counter-culture, pop and psychedelic movements, and pioneers of radical Italian architecture. It is based on unpublished archives and original works. They reveal how music, ecstasy and collective experience, at the heart of these artists’ concerns, have preempted our contemporary digital culture.

Hey guys. So a while ago my mom was diagnosed with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS for short). It's caused by brain damage she got from lack of oxygen to her brain while giving blood a couple years ago. It's caused a list of symptoms and now she has to go get scans from the Amen center. If you could donate or share I'd appreciate it greatly.

January 30 2017 - by Alex Brockman · CBC News Kathy Meyer thinks about her daughter Angela every day. She wonders where she is and what has happened to her. #AngelaMeyer disappeared from #Yellowknife on Nov. 27, 2010. The 22-year-old #Inuk woman was having trouble with #mentalhealth issues. That afternoon, she stepped outside for a smoke. Her family has not seen or heard from her since. She is one of the many #missingandmurderedIndigenouswomen from the North being commemorated in a new art exhibit being developed by the #NativeWomensAssociationoftheNorthwestTerritories. "This is a good way to show that we still love our missing daughters, sisters, mothers," Meyer told CBC News. "I think it's wonderful. I'm going to be making a heart myself." People across the North are encouraged to make a #felt heart and send it to the women's association for inclusion into a #tapestry that will be unveiled at the next #SistersinSpiritWalk in October. "To talk about it, I think brings a sense of relief for the moment," said Meyer. "When we talk about it, we keep her memories alive most importantly. [Angela] is part of our family." #Beadwork is common in Northern art, used by talented artists throughout the territories. About a dozen beaded hearts have been collected so far at the #NativeWomensAssociation, with submissions coming from Tuktoyaktuk, N.W.T and Old Crow, Yukon. "Everyone knows someone who's gone #missing, it's touched everyone," explains Marie Speakman who works in victim's services at the women's association. Speakman first developed the #beadedhearts idea for the North, taking a variation on other memorials that have begun across #Canada. Though red dresses and empty pairs of shoes have become symbols for missing and murdered Indigenous women in Southern Canada, the beaded hearts will specifically be for women of the North who've gone missing. "Some of these cases have gone unsolved for more than a decade. This is a way for us to show we haven't forgotten about them," said Mishelle Lavoie, one of the project's organizers. #violenceagainstwomen #mmiw#restinpeace #indigenouswomen
