I sincerely believed acting was something I wanted to do, because my mother manipulated and gaslighted me my entire childhood. I was completely brainwashed. By the time I was old enough to realize that not only was it not my idea, but that I didn’t have to be an actor any more if I didn’t want to, I was terrified I would be the huge failure my abusive father always made me believe I was, so I kept trying to be an actor well into my 30s.
In my 40s, I decided to retire from acting on-camera, and use what I’d learned over the years to work as a voice actor, audiobook narrator, and writer. I’m a New York Times bestselling author! And number on audiobook narrator!
I just turned 50 in July. I’m still doing the performing and entertaining work I’m pretty good at, but I’m only doing it on my terms. My favorite thing I’m doing right now is hosting The Ready Room, the official online destination for all things Star Trek universe.
I’m the happiest I’ve ever been in my life. I’m truly thriving. I’ve been married for almost 24 years, I have two wonderful children and a daughter-in-law I love like my own. It’s a really good life, but I’m not going to lie: I had to crawl through a LOT of shit to get here.
Among those arrested in Atlanta today were Noelle McAfee, Chair of the Philosophy Department at Emory University. You can hear her ask the PhD student taking the video:
“Can you call the Philosophy Department office and tell them I’ve been arrested?…I’m Noelle McAfee, I’m Chair of the Philosophy Department”
Exclusive: Discworld TTRPG in the works by studio behind Fallout wargames
Modiphius, the studio responsible for tabletop adaptations of Star Trek, Fallout, and more, is working on a Discworld TTRPG.
Having secured the rights to the beloved series with an agreement from the late author Sir Terry Pratchett’s estate, Modiphius is already at work on a Discworld roleplaying game “around the city of Ankh-Morpork and the wider Disc.” This will hit Kickstarter later in the year.

The decision to jettison McDaniel’s preparations for a robust ground game that was similar in scope and strategy to the RNC’s efforts to boost Trump in 2016 and 2020 appears to have originated at the top,” said the report. “Trump repeatedly told McDaniel in conversations before he pushed her out of the chairmanship that he did not need the RNC to focus on ‘get-out-the-vote’ activities. Rather, knowledgeable Republican sources told us, the former president informed McDaniel he wanted the committee to prioritize 'election integrity’ efforts.
Shitler and his allies know they can’t win this election, so they aren’t even trying. They’re going to put their money, their resources, and all of their energy into stealing the election by using violence and corruption.
It’s concerning that I can see this, just by following where they are spending their money and where they are putting their dwindling resources, yet none of the national media or dedicated political reporters are even talking about it.
