I read a few showbiz memoirs in November, and the absolute standouts were those by Andrew Rannells. I wasn't sure what to expect since I only have vague familiarity with Rannells' work, but I was blown away: endearing, honest, and laugh-out-loud funny.

For the ask game thing! If they haven’t been asked yet I’m super curious about 8, 15, 20, 23 & 24 (you do NOT have to answer all of those I’m just like super nosey and also pester-y)

oh thank you, i love to yap and i am absolutely answering all of these kdbfjfbfn (answering most of the non-fandom-specific questions about dbda because. well yeah)

8: i hope more people will come to appreciate...

honestly there are a ton of people that appreciate crystal in this fandom, and i am very gratified by the amount of people and posts i see preaching that she needs more appreciation/understanding/love, but like. there will never be enough crystal appreciation in my opinion. and while a lot of people love her character just as much as i do, there are also people (mostly in fics) that treat her more as an afterthought/backdrop for the boys or don't seem to really like her for her actual canonical traits, so i absolutely want more people to appreciate the beautiful mess that is crystal palace. and hey theres a whole crystal appreciation week coming up so thats gonna rock!!

although on a non dbd note. SCOTT MCCALL. hes literally the main character of teen wolf and hes amazing please love him. also alan deaton, he rocks and he gets far too much hate

15: the character that always makes me smile

unless its something angsty, i smile so fucking stupid every time i see charles rowland and his stupid pretty face i swear. his smile and goofiness and HAPPINESS are utterly contagious and i love him so much

20: my very first fandom

it was probably my little pony jfbjfbfjf. i'm talking when i was like,, i dunno eight? i wrote a whole fanfic for it in the notes of my service-less basically-ipod-with-extra-features little phone and made cheesy nextgens and everything. and if it wasn't mlp then it was how to train your dragon for sure, i was obsessed with reading fics from the dragons' POVs where they found more night furies and stuff. also crossovers. i had a grand old time!

23: the fandom i'm curious about because of a mutual

i can't think of any i'm interested because of a MUTUAL SPECIFICALLY, but god the amount of people putting that gay firefighter show on my dash has gotten me INTRIGUED. i actually went and tried to watch it but i couldn't and the intrigue has faded with my failure but its still there a little bit. also bridgerton, i've been seeing lots of bridgerton on the dash and it is tempting me. OH ALSO! i almost forgot, but interview with a vampire! and i actually did give into temptation with that one and watch the first episode while eating dinner a couple nights ago, it was absolutely amazing.

24: how has fandom positively impacted my life?

i think the biggest positive impact i've gotten from fandom is the sheer volume of interactions ive had with other people, and the friends i've gotten from that. like, i still have you from when i was mainly posting about teen wolf, and i've made so many great connections in the dbd fandom, whether they're just people i've made an impression on with my art and writing or people i've formed full friendships with (shoutout to nimm @babyseraphim for being probably the best friend ive made in this fandom? i love how loving dbd enabled me to meet and connect with you over so much OTHER stuff we have in common).

i really just love being able to connect with so many people over common interests and opinions; i've gotten a lot more outgoing/confident lately, irl as well as online, and i feel like fandom is at least partially to thank for that. ❤️

Title: Hoskinson Backs Deaton’s Bid Against Warren with Maximum Donation

In a notable display of support for the crypto community, Charles Hoskinson, the founder of Cardano (ADA) and a prominent figure in the blockchain space, has thrown his weight behind John Deaton's campaign against Senator Elizabeth Warren, offering a maximum donation to bolster Deaton's bid. This move underscores the growing momentum behind efforts to advocate for regulatory clarity and fair treatment of cryptocurrencies in the United States.

John Deaton, a prominent attorney and crypto advocate, recently announced his candidacy for the U.S. Senate seat currently held by Senator Elizabeth Warren, who has been a vocal critic of cryptocurrencies and has called for stricter regulations on digital assets. Deaton's campaign aims to champion the interests of the crypto community and push for policies that foster innovation and growth in the burgeoning industry.

Charles Hoskinson's decision to make a maximum donation to Deaton's campaign underscores his commitment to advocating for the rights and interests of the crypto community. As the founder of Cardano, one of the leading blockchain platforms, and a respected voice in the industry, Hoskinson's endorsement carries significant weight and signals a unified effort within the crypto community to influence policy decisions at the highest levels of government.

The backing of Deaton's campaign by Hoskinson and other prominent figures in the crypto space reflects growing concerns within the industry regarding the regulatory uncertainty and hostility towards cryptocurrencies exhibited by some policymakers. With the crypto market facing increased scrutiny and regulatory challenges, stakeholders are rallying behind candidates like Deaton who are committed to representing their interests and promoting a favorable regulatory environment for digital assets.

Moreover, Hoskinson's support for Deaton's bid against Senator Warren is seen as a direct response to Warren's anti-crypto stance and her calls for stringent regulations that could stifle innovation and hinder the growth of the industry. By throwing his support behind Deaton, Hoskinson aims to send a clear message that the crypto community will not stand idly by while policymakers advocate for policies that threaten the future of digital assets.

Deaton's candidacy represents a unique opportunity for the crypto community to make its voice heard in the halls of power and shape the regulatory landscape for cryptocurrencies in the United States. With the backing of influential figures like Charles Hoskinson, Deaton's campaign has gained significant momentum and is poised to become a focal point in the ongoing debate over crypto regulation and policy.

In conclusion, Charles Hoskinson's maximum donation to John Deaton's campaign against Senator Elizabeth Warren underscores the growing unity and determination within the crypto community to advocate for fair treatment and regulatory clarity. As the industry continues to mature and gain mainstream acceptance, stakeholders are increasingly mobilizing to influence policymakers and ensure that cryptocurrencies are afforded the opportunity to thrive and innovate in a supportive regulatory environment. John Deaton's candidacy represents a significant step towards achieving this goal and shaping the future of the crypto industry in the United States.

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson recently gave his thoughts on whether the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) had given Ethereum a regulatory free pass as recent rumors suggest.   Cardano Founder Alleges Favoritism Toward Ethereum In an AMA session shared on X (formerly Twitter), Hoskinson mentioned that the Himman emails and other revelations expose the thought process of the SEC and show that there was unequal application, which he doesn’t see anything wrong with. Furthermore, he believes that none of the Commission’s actions presupposes corruption but only favoritism.  It is worth mentioning that Hoskinson happens to be a co-founder of Ethereum. However, he was forced to exit the team after he suggested that Ethereum be run as a commercial entity rather than a nonprofit, but this idea didn’t seem to resonate with others on the team.  As such, one can easily assume that there could be some form of bias in his statement, as he could feel endeared to Ethereum despite the circumstances surrounding his exit. Reacting to the clip, One X user stated that Hoskinson’s “old ETHGATE buddies” may have convinced him to make such statements.  Meanwhile, others in the crypto community criticized his statement, emphasizing that there was really no difference between favoritism and corruption, especially when a government agency is involved. Some went as far as alleging that Hoskinson could well have been involved in the scandal and that he was talking “like a defendant.” ETH price continues to struggle | Source: ETHUSD on Tradingview.com Himman Emails And Other Revelations A Big Deal While Hoskinson may have tried to downplay the Himman emails and other revelations, they undoubtedly lay a foundation as to possible wrongdoings of the Commission. For one, the email showed that Bill Hinman had interacted with Ethereum’s co-founder, Vitalik Buterin before he gave his speech, where he mentioned that ETH wasn’t a security. With this in mind, Buterin could have possibly influenced Hinman’s speech. There have also been revelations of how the SEC had close ties with Ethereum, which instantly presupposes a conflict of interest as it becomes harder to regulate or deal fairly with such a body without being influenced by external factors.  Meanwhile, Steven Nerayoff, who was an active participant during Ethereum’s Initial Coin Offering (ICO), continues to allege that the SEC was corrupt in its dealings with Ethereum and that he has evidence to back up his claims.  Pro-XRP legal expert John Deaton has also confirmed Nerayoff’s claims as he has seen this supposed evidence under the attorney-client relationship.  In his announcement last month, Deaton mentioned that Bill Himman’s cross-examination would be of “epic proportions” and even offered to handle that personally if the SEC’s case against Ripple were to go to trial.

Ripple Gains Major Advantage In SEC Case

The defendant, Ripple, gained a significant advantage at the most recent hearing for the SEC's complaint against it since 16 companies that had asked the court to grant them permission to assist the court and ultimately influence the verdict now have that opportunity. The Chamber of Digital Commerce, the first organization to support Ripple, is one of those whose request to submit a brief has been approved.  Others include Coinbase, Blockchain Association, TapJets, I-Remit, I-CAN, Spend-the-Bits, Deaton, CCI, Valhalla Capital, Cryptillian Payment Systems, VeriDAO, Reaper Financial, Accredify (DBA InvestReady), New Sports Economy Institute, and Paradigm Operations. The judge has given the aforementioned businesses till November 18th to file their briefs. By being the first to submit an amicus brief in support of Ripple formally, Coinbase appears to have seized the initiative. On October 31, the American cryptocurrency exchange submitted its application. Following a report from American-based Fox News on November 14th indicating that a settlement was anticipated at the hearing scheduled for November 15, rumors of a potential settlement between the wall street regulator and Ripple began to circulate. According to Fox reporter Eleanor Terrett, I know you're expecting a settlement in the Securities and Exchange Commission and Ripple lawsuit tomorrow. Later, the news was revealed to be false by Ripple Labs, according to Charles Gasparino, a senior correspondent at Fox Business Network. Nevertheless, XRP was up nearly 12% over the previous 24 hours and was trading at $0.3793. However, a large portion of this increase was probably brought on by the untrue rumor that the SEC and Ripple might have reached a settlement at today's hearing. Related Reading | As Bankruptcy Procedures Get underway, FTX In Talk With Authorities And Appoints The daily trading volume of XRP has increased by 50%, demonstrating how traders rushed to purchase the token in anticipation of a settlement. Data from CoinMarketCap shows that XRP had a market capitalization of slightly more than $19 billion and a $2.3 billion 24-hour trading volume. Read the full article
