Happy Friday, Readers! This was our first Hot & Bothered episode published almost a year ago on our Patreon, right after we had finished reading Fourth Wing. (Please forgive our general Violet snarkiness.) We have a handful of others H&B episodes we'll be posting on random Fridays, let us know what you think and if you'd like to see more of these.--------------------------------------The theory: some readers can skim past a bad heroine for a vicarious romance with a shadow daddy, while others may DNF a book if they can't relate to the POV. We suspect this might account for the vast discrepancies in ratings in our beloved genre.What do you think? Can you overlook a Violet to get to a Xaden?

While this has not been done at any of the Buffalo Niagara locations (or at least, it hasn't been disclosed yet), this still doesn't sit well with some area shoppers. What are your thoughts on this, would you care if the Buffalo Niagara locations began doing this? To help explore this issue, we spoke with cybersecurity expert Arun Vishwanath and Erie County Legislator Frank Todaro.

Send us a textJayne Amelia speaks with therapist and founder of Restore Of Ada, Dana Hargus, M.Ed., LPC. Dana is a foster mom and adoptive mom, and now a grandmother of many children. Dana was raised in the Ada area and has a bachelor's in education and special education and a master's degree in school counseling. After successfully working with students with behavioral and developmental issues, she returned to earn her degree in counseling. She has been working as a counselor for over twenty years. Dana owns Biofeedback and Counseling Inc. of Ada which serves the Central Oklahoma area with twelve counselors. Restore utilizes biofeedback, relational coaching, and nutritional therapy as an adjunct to (or independently of) traditional talk therapy. When talk therapy is not enough, Restore may help.Restore of Ada is a wellness company offering innovative programs and well-researched therapies, dedicated to renewing hope by healing the mind, body and spirit. These programs were designed to jumpstart the healing process by promoting a calm, regulated nervous system, training clients to better care for themselves and their relationships.Restore of Ada was formed in 2024 in Ada, Oklahoma and is unique in its application of several healing interventions: trauma and resiliency science through life coaching, nutritional interventions, and other additional modalities of healing. Founder Dana Hargus, a counselor with over twenty years of experience, was inspired to start Restore Of Ada when she acknowledged that once-a-week talk therapy sometimes isn't enough to treat those suffering from persistent emotional, physical and relational traumas.While traditional counseling can provide powerful outcomes, she recognized the need for an accelerated healing program for those struggling with addictions, attachment disorders, autoimmune disease, anxiety, PTSD, depression, ADD, chronic pain, behavioral issues and many more. This led to the creation of the innovative healing program Restore House, an accelerated 9-week healing program, designed to address physical, emotional, and neurological traumas through both virtual and in-person experiences, as well as ongoing coaching and community support.Restore Of Ada is a place to heal the body, soul and spirit.See bonusbabies.org to learn more about what we are doing and please donate to support us by making a 100% tax-deductible contribution.

We've officially entered the end-of-year zone... You know, the part where students are either bouncing off the walls or slumping over their desks like they've pulled three all-nighters in a row. And let's be honest, we're right there with them.In this week's episode, I'm unpacking a common (and deeply exhausting) classroom vibe: student apathy. That “ugh, why are we even here?” energy that rolls in hard during December. Whether your students are dragging their feet into class, doing the bare minimum (if anything), or slurping down Red Bulls the size of their heads — I've got you.We'll chat about:Why apathetic behaviours spike at the end of the year (spoiler: it's not just because they're lazy)How arousal states impact student engagementAnd most importantly? Some super practical strategies to upregulate energy in a way that doesn't leave you more drained than they are.What you'll learn:Why students are checked out in Term 4 (and why it's NOT a reflection of your teaching)The difference between low, optimal, and high arousal states — and how to use themMy favourite “shake it up” tricks for getting student energy backFun, fast ways to use novelty, movement, and talk-time to re-engage your classHow to maintain routines without making things boringHow your energy sets the tone — and what to do when you're the one running on fumesResources + Mentions:

Historian Kevin Impellizeri shares a story of a video game controversy to his friends: Kate Lynch and Matt Shoemaker, whose new book, Gathering of Gamers: Dungeons & Dragons and Other Games Through Gen Con, is available now through Play Story Press (https://playstorypress.org/books/gathering-of-gamers/). If you're interested in the history of North America's largest gaming convention or the history of Dungeons & Dragons, this is the book for you!Matt joins us for the conclusion of our look at Patricia Pulling and her personal war on Dungeons & Dragons during the 1980s. We look at the impact of her message on the news media as well as the growing body of critics who made the radical suggestion that maybe there wasn't a vast network of satanists operated undetected in the United States (shocking, I know) and that maybe Pat was less than up front about her claims.Topics discussed include: how does Geraldo Rivera keep getting work, Richmond's Satanist-Methodist ratio, the question of whether Pat knew her son was turning into a werewolf, and the salacious indiscretions of one of Pat's closest allies.Read Michael Stackpole's Pulling Report here: https://rpgstudies.net/stackpole/pulling_report.html.If you're looking for another well-researched epic takedown of the 1980s Satanic Panic, check out: Robert D.

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell and attorney Eric Bland tackle one of the most absurd phrases creeping into South Carolina's justice system — ‘Murdaugh fatigue.' After years of uncovering corruption, financial crimes, and systemic failures, many in power and some running for office want to move on… leaving victims behind… AGAIN.  Mandy, Liz, and Eric break down the latest in Russell Laffitte's super soft sentencing, and the Billy Squires incident on Hilton Head. Both reveal how the system once again protects people that look like those in power while accepting the bare minimum to jail or prosecute anyone else.  And we hope everyone listening remembers that Justice does not get tired — people do. ☕ Cups Up! ⚖️ Episode References “Alex Murdaugh family's shocking murders and deep-rooted secrets revealed in new Hulu limited series” - AP News, updated Oct 16, 2025
