HHH CANON BOT MASTERLIST

Meet the canon members of the HHH Series...

ZAALDIRE - HEAD OF THE HOTLINE - @MORBIDPASTELS

❝Oh, you poor little thing... I suppose I'll have to handle this myself.❞

☏ Life has never been very easy for you. You grew up in a low-end abusive household, got kicked out at 18 with just a suitcase and the clothes on your back, and just barely managed to get your current job in order to afford some shitty ass apartment with a shittier landlord. Nothing went well for you in the slightest, especially the fact that you had to travel through some creepy alleyway just to get home. Most times things went fine, but other were more risky than others, like tonight for example. Luckily for you though, it turned out you were being watched... ☏

❝MEHHH. IT'S WHATEVER BABES. NO SKIN OFF MY BONES.❞

☏ Life before the Hotline had been extremely dull and uneventful for Tucker, a troubled young man who found pleasure in the supernatural and as a result was bullied for it. But now that he was stuck in this hell hole for the rest of eternity? As a Broker? Please... someone just kill him. At least he can fuck with you, a fellow broker, to pass the time. ☏

TW/CW:HE IS AN ASSHOLE!!!! And could potentially dabble into DD content so... tagging as such. But hopefully he's just a goofy, stinky guy.

☏ Dan, who's recently discovered his parallel abilities comes into contact with The HHH after seeing a glimpse into the universe, and unbeknownst to him has now made himself a target for something much more sinister and dark than any conspiracy theory he's investigated thus far.

Someone has a HECKIN' CONCERN about how much time I've been spending in HIS office chair lately.😂 But he certainly doesn't mind the increase in cuddles this week...I don't mind either.😉 But seriously, I am so grateful for both of our corgs (I already was every day anyway 💗) and would not be able to deal with any of the madness in the world right now without them. How does anyone do anything without dogs? They are too damn pure for this world 😭 (even when they're stealing your chair).💗🐶💗 #WFH #corgi #NewCoworkers #machetecorgez #lovemycorgi #corgiaddict #LuckyToHaveAJobTho #ImmeasurablyLucky #StayTheFuckHome #StaySafe #AndWashYourDamnHands (at Framingham, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9-oC0uJAxI/?igshid=1v4yxzp8d87mw

The last 3+ weeks have been intense & has required a lot of patience, self-care & meditation. But by far the best thing has been watching these 2 muppets “living their best life” & enjoying some well deserved daily sunshine🌞 #zappaandziggy #zappa #ladyziggystardust #littlemuppets #newcoworkers #catsofinstagram #cats #catlife #catnap #catstagram #sunshinetherapy #lalalandart #sunshinestateofmind #mainecoon #rescue #rescueyourbestfriend #resuekitties #rescuecat #maedayalumni #maedayrescue (at Echo Park, Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-nq2NApvm6QYNNTY8mrAFfrM32v31UpWp5Rnk0/?igshid=10xhadjluupum

Meet Wendy Wang Pisa!

Introducing (drumroll please) Wendy Wang Pisa!

Wendy has officially gone from being our part-time Program Assessment Coordinator to our full-time Special Projects Manager! To give her a warm welcome in her new position and an introduction to you all, we sat down with our awesome new full-time co-worker for a get-to-know-you interview. Enjoy!

Where are you from?

I was born in Taipei, Taiwan and then I moved to the States when I was about 10 years old. I started traveling and moving around after high school. I moved back to Taiwan for many years, I lived in London for a while, and then I came back to DC a couple of years ago. 

What’s your background? 

I studied Art History in college and when I finished I didn’t know what to do with my degree. I then decided to pursue teaching and that was what brought me back to Taipei, Taiwan. I was a bilingual school teacher and taught many different subjects, but primarily English, math, and art. This led me to getting my master’s degree in Museum Education because it’s a marriage of my art history background and my teaching experience.

My previous experiences working for various museums is actually what led me to working here. I worked in museum education for a couple different museums. The most recent one is the Freer | Sackler, the Smithsonian’s Museum of Asian Art. Prior to that I was working at the International Spy Museum and the Phillips Collection where I was an educator. Before my time in DC, I was in London getting my Masters degree and working at the British Museum. I volunteered and worked part-time at a couple of smaller organizations and also the Science Museum in London. 

All of these experiences have brought me to be a museum educator, but also an administrator and manager for educational offerings in cultural organizations. 

What are you most excited about working full-time for DC Collab?

I am excited about the work that we do here, I think it’s exceptionally inspiring to advocate for students to gain more equitable access to the arts, which is extremely important. I think the impact the arts have on students aren’t necessarily clear cut since it isn’t always something that is easily presentable, it’s not something easily measurable. So what we do here is very important. 

Who inspires you?

This is funny as it isn’t necessarily related to the arts, but most recently Kobe Bryant. I used to play basketball even though I was never a big fan of his. I thought he was such a ball hog and seemed really arrogant. But after he passed away very suddenly and tragically with his daughter,  I learned much more about him and I realized that I can relate to his quote “Mamba Mentality” (or his way of working hard is a philosophy that he has). Mamba Mentality means that the opportunity to work hard and being in the midst of that hard work and pain is already the dream; more so than the destination I think. The process and the path are just as important, if not more than the destination itself. And I find that it is something that I also believe in and I think that in my own life the path to whatever success means to me is not a linear one and it’s definitely not an easy one either, especially being in this field. So someone like Kobe who thinks that way inspires me.

What is your favorite thing to do when you aren’t working? 

I love spending time with my baby who is almost 9 months old right now. That’s also very tiring sometimes. I like to cook sometimes. I’ve been trying to get back into yoga and trying to be more active again.

Do you have a pet?

My dog recently passed away. His name was Happy and he was very old. He was a Westie and he was a very spunky and friendly dog. 

Why are you an Arts and Humanities Education Advocate?

Like I said before, the Arts and Humanities are things that actually make a hugely positive impact on young people and oftentimes I feel like it isn’t always measurable. And being someone who has the opportunity to either measure it or to present it so that other people can learn about its positive impact is something that I’m passionate about. 

If you could only eat one meal for the rest of your life what would it be?

Probably Ramen, but not the spicy kind. I’m not a spicy person.

What is a topic you wish you knew more about?

I think I wish I was more knowledgeable in Science in general so I could be a part of more positive change in the environment or just in smaller ways too. 

If you could change one thing in the world what would it be?

I feel like there are certain world leaders that are not doing their job and I think a lot of their actions are based on their personal gains. I find that extremely irritating and unjust. But again, I think politics is actually something that I wished I understood more. But at the same time, I don’t even know if understanding more actually does any good either. I think we are seeing a lot of that in the world right now and I wish changes can be made.

Give Thanks #34

So I’ve missed a few days recently with my year of thanksgiving. Part of that has been due to a new job I started, the rest is due to trying to catch up on sleep from finals week recently.

Anyhow, here goes me playing catch-up.

Day after Christmas I was thankful for my new coworkers. They are some of the most helpful people I’ve met, and I’m glad to know them.

Meet Trés McMichael!

Introducing (drumroll please) Trés McMichael! 

Trés is our new Education Programs Manager here at DC Arts and Humanities Education Collaborative. To give him a warm welcome and introduction to you all we sat down with our awesome new co-worker for a get-to-know-you interview. Enjoy!

Where are you from?

I’m from Baltimore, Maryland specifically Pikesville which is like a suburb in Baltimore county. I’ve lived there my entire life and basically, my whole family lives in Baltimore and has lived there for several generations.

What’s your background? 

I went to Elon University which is in North Carolina. I studied arts administration and musical theater and then I also studied African American Studies and Leadership Studies and business administration. So kind of like everything at the same time. I’m really interested in the arts, I’ve been performing for my entire life. But also have a deep passion for arts education and arts advocacy and arts equity as well.  

What are you most excited about working for DC Collab?

I think I’m most excited about just the scope of what the organization does. I think it offers so much to DC Public schools and without the Collaborative, a lot of schools would not have the opportunities that they need to go on arts field trips and have arts access because a lot of schools in DC don’t necessarily have consistent art programming or teachers. So without the Collaborative, a lot of students wouldn’t be having those opportunities and so I’m excited to be apart of that and to continue to allow public school students especially to have exposure to the arts and humanities. I grew up in public school. I went to a title 1 elementary school so I know how the arts have impacted my life and the lives of so many of my friends. To be able to continue to give that to someone else the way that someone did it for me is really inspiring for me.  

Who inspires you?

That’s such a hard question. There are so many people who inspire me. I think my family...I’m not going to say a person I’m going to say a lineage. So I think my family inspires me just to see how far we’ve come along. I come from a very quirky, interesting, weird,  fun, serious family. I think that I’m inspired by how much my family has been able to contribute to so many communities throughout history and throughout the country and in very different mediums. So, you know, my grandparents, they owned a bus company and they contributed to their community that way by giving people in the community opportunities to travel across the country. My mom owns a nurse staffing agency and so she works with different people in their homes to make sure that, you know, they have health care and that they have the proper needs. My sister makes jewelry and she helps people in that way. My great grandmother, she helped integrate a Catholic church and my family started going to that church. And so I think for me it’s like I’m inspired by my family’s almost relentless need to serve whatever community that they’re living in, in some way and capacity. And so for me, it’s like finding what way am I able to now serve my community and in what capacity can I do that. And so I’m inspired by that to be a part of a lineage of service to people who need it and to want and desire to do that service. 

What is your favorite thing to do when you aren’t working? 

I enjoy rock climbing. I used to work at a rock climbing gym actually in Baltimore, it was a lot of fun. I also really love kayaking. Recently, I’ve gotten into going out and dancing by myself. I like to go on Facebook to the events page and see what’s happening around town on any given day even if it’s like a random Tuesday and maybe there will be a live band. I just moved to DC so I don’t have a ton of friends yet so I’ll go out by myself and go listen to this live band and just go dancing by myself. I love music, all types of music. I love classical music, I love jazz, I love LOVE funk music! I love pop, I love RnB, soul, I love broadway, obviously. So just like listening to different types of music, seeing how it moves me, seeing how my body moves to it, I’m really into that. And finding new vegetarian restaurants in DC is interesting.  

Do you have any pets? 

So, I actually have a lot of interesting pets. I grew up in a family where we were really into like exotic aquatic pets. And so growing up we had just the strangest things; stingrays, eels, seahorses, pufferfish, lionfish, catfish, Albino frogs...what else have we had..sea urchins, sea anemones. Yeah, we had like the Nemos and the Dorys. It’s not like your average “cat-dog-type-house”. It’s literally kind of like an aquarium in there. And then we did have a dog, CoCo, who was just like a Yorkie, but ya know CoCo cannot compare to the stingray in our living room. 

Why are you an Arts and Humanities Education Advocate?

I think the arts allow us to see humanity in a way that we just can’t see it walking down the street. And so I think the arts has a way of touching into all of our senses the emotional, the physical, the spiritual and how all of that is so much a part of our education as well. It should be valued as a part of our education. I think that everyone should have access to feeling all of those senses and to feeling humanity on a different level. And I think that the arts provide that. 

If you could only eat one meal for the rest of your life what would it be?

Spicy Ramen, Chocolate Chip Cookies, and Apple Juice. My go-to meal is ramen, a really good chocolate chip cookie...or a honey bun, and I really like apple juice but I’ve also been getting into seltzer water. And so any combination of that will bring joy. 

What is a topic you wish you knew more about?

Okay, so my dad and my brother both work in computers. So like my dad, he works for Boeing Intelligence and Analytics and my brother is an engineer for Microsoft, and I don’t know anything about computers. It’s actually pretty embarrassing because both of them know like everything and anything that can be with a computer and I still have trouble turning it on sometimes or figuring out where to plug in the keyboard. So if I had to know anything it would be more about just technology in general and how it works so that I can step my game up.

If you could change one thing in the world what would it be?

Oh, that’s a big one. That’s a big question. There are so many things I’d want to change. Let’s just start over! 

I’d want everyone in the world to know or not have any reservations about the fact that they have a purpose. A lot of people go through the world and don’t feel like they have a sense of purpose or a sense of being. And I would want them to know that they do. I think if everyone knew that they had a purpose and knew what that purpose was we’d all be on the right track, and wouldn’t be trying to do or be someone else who we aren’t.
