Save The Wheel of Time - Finish the Story

Join fans from around the world working to find a new home for The Wheel of Time. Help us show Sony and streamers the story deserves to cont

Wheel of Time show fans & #savewot allies - we made it to 237k signatures on the petition! Congrats and a BIG hug from me to you! Let's set a goal of 240k to be achieved before the anniversary of the cancellation. So, do the thing and spread word of SaveWoT and the Wheel of Time show far and wide!

And speaking of that, we have a plan to write Sony Pictures Television:

Send Letters and Postcards to Save The Wheel of Time - Save The Wheel of Time

Action Send a physical letter or a postcard to studios and streaming services Send physical letters and/or postcards See the list

We'll be writing to SPTV throughout the entire month of April! We'll still be writing to Jennifer Rogers Doyle, EVP of Financial Management, BUT there's a HIGH chance her mailbox will be full, at such a document-heavy job, so we have tried and tested a new contact at SPTV. Wheel of Time show fans & #savewot allies, I present to you Chas Reynolds, SPTV's Director of New Media Deal Strategy, whose mailbox doesn't fill near so quickly and who has worked with JRD before.

So write to both Mr. Reynolds and Ms. Doyle with equal respect at the same address throughout the entire month of April. Convince them that our fandom is worth seeking a streamer to pick up the Wheel of Time and save our show. Write about how we, VERY early on in the movement, were able to raise the sum of $38.2 thousand on GoFundMe within A WEEK, when there were less than 100k people who had signed the petition. Talk about how our numbers have doubled (and then some) in the months since then, displaying how quickly our community can grow and how SPTV would be essentially throwing away a burgeoning source of income by throwing in the towel on getting the show made somewhere else after an admittedly short window of time when they were shopping out the show the first time. Maybe suggest your fave streamers for them to go with. My faves are Peacock, MGM+ (real pie in the sky, but the more I read about them, the more I'm convinced that it'd be the perfect streaming home for WoT), and AppleTV. Share what makes the show and its creatives worth saving!

So go with the grace and blessings of the Light and write! We can do this y'all. Taller buildings have been brought down by less people. There is always hope. So LET'S GO, Y'ALL!

Leaving a Cult and Dealing with Religious Trauma - Knitting Cult Lady

Ironically, this video crossed my feed yesterday shortly after I opened the NY Mag Gaiman article. In it, she talks about how getting out of a cult is a first step, but is not the end of what you need to heal. That there's a Decade of Deconstruction necessary to fully be present in and enjoy the new life you build for yourself.

It dovetails with some issues swirling within the ex-Scientology community right now that I'm sure are about to collide with the parts of the NYMag article about Gaiman's roots in Scientology and the traumas he has failed to deal with appropriately.

I'm not super deep in the ex-Sci community, though YouTube likes to suggest certain videos to me because I watched Leah Remini's show. In general, it seems that many of the younger people who left the cult and have chosen to be public are constantly beefing with the elders who've been out for years or decades. Most of these younger folks have YouTube channels, and they're playing out all their personal dramas there in public in ways that are deeply unhealthy. Every time I see or read about the newest development, all I can think is: They're acting the way Scientology taught them to act while maybe not realizing it.

Based off of what Danielle says in the video, they have not fully deconstructed, and appear not to realize they need to do so. They think that because they are Out, they are fine.

Narrator: They are not fine.

It makes me wonder how little deconstruction from Scientology Gaiman did. Makes me wonder if he did any. Because the high level of compartmentalization that appears to be going on with him feels very close to what we've heard people who left Scientology talk about needing to do to survive, and how those still in the cult engage in it.

This isn't constrained to Scientology. In the reading and watching I've done, it's a part of any high control group/cult. Which is why getting out involves more than just not believing, anymore, and physically escaping. There must also be deconstruction so that you don't carry these destructive ways of existing and relating to people out into the world.

This is in no way any kind of excuse or apologetic. In the end, Gaiman is responsible for the choices he made. He had the money to get help, he had friends and family and community to lean on, and even if the tools weren't all there when he was a young man, they've been available and talked about for many a year.

He learned all the wrong lessons from Hubbard.

Remember… now, I change the future every time I save a person's life here, and Jamie, even though he's not a time-traveller, his very presence here has affected the future of a lot of people who aren't breathing anymore, and a few who are, like you and Jemmy… So time, space, history be damned. — Claire Fraser, S05E02 Between Two Fires

I just want everyone to consider. If Taylor wrote Castle's Crumbling because Fearless' success was so big and she felt like she'd blown it up. What's waiting for us in Rep's vault.

Entre Lula Companheiro e Bolsonaro ‘Arminha’, não existe a menor dúvida.

Tenho rede social há muito tempo e nunca viram nada sobre política no meu feed. Nunca me manifestei a respeito de política. Mas, nesses meses que antecedem a mudança de governo, vi tanta ignorância cultural e religiosa, tanta xenofobia e outras manifestações fóbicas, tanta tolice, tanta maldade, tanta articulação de aliados contra o povo e contra o próprio país, que precisava observar de perto, se, eu estava vendo o que eu estava vendo.

E estou certa e vendo o certo: essa política de opressão, desrespeito e maldade não pode ser reeleita.

Eu entendo que, se Bolsonaro for reeleito, seriam brasileiros prejudicando outros brasileiros, porque a pessoa correta, de caráter, de inteligência e responsabilidade com ela própria e com os outros, não quer saber de um governante como Bolsonaro, não querem ver a exploração de recurso de informações falsas (fake news) e nem de ‘briga de milico com o povão”.

Não esqueçam que Bolsonaro elegeu como vice um general. Lembrar disso é importante. Estudem e vão descobrir porque é um detalhe importante.

Lula já esteve no governo e quem governou, de fato, foi ele, levando em conta as necessidades e a opinião da população. Além dele, um homem inteligente que governou e conhecia até onde iam os seus limites, é Fernando Henrique Cardoso.

E Lula já está na história do país como quem mudou a cara do Brasil. Ele mudou a cara do Brasil tanto aqui dentro, quanto na política externa, no entanto, sem ter a metade do que esses janotas tinham como recursos para a sua eleição.

Entre Lula Companheiro e Bolsonaro Arminha, não existe a menor dúvida!

Você pode votar em quem quiser, é seu direito, mas, raciocine bem para não manter os que não estão dando certo, por mais quatro anos e os inflarem de poder.

Você não pode achar e dizer que o governo Bolsonaro está dando certo. Para quem? Para você, pobre e de uma classe média, a classe que quase nem existe, porque a população empobreceu?

Para você, civil, com aspirações de “bonequinho Falcon” que precisa estar armado até os dentes?  Para você, que é jovem e não entende o por quê um governo com militares envolvidos na administração, quer armar a população quando normalmente é o contrário?

Está mais do que provado que pelo bem do cidadão e da administração pública, que o poder tem que ser tirado de pessoas com a “vibe” de Bolsonaro. Eles não têm condições de administrar bem um país e mostrou muitas vezes total desprezo pelo próximo. O “próximo” é o povo que ele quer governar.

A população está faminta num país que é gigante! _ Você não tem a resposta para isso?

Eu tenho: _essa gente que vocês elegem no calor das mentiras e das ameaças dos patrões, é que concentram a riqueza deste país imenso que tem espaço e alimento para a sua gente. Entendeu?

Se o meu ‘feeling’ estiver certo, eu desejo um bom retorno e um bom governo à Lula, e um pouco de paz para o nosso Brasil.
