Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.
- “Remember,” by Christina Rossetti

20 Surprising Facts You Probably Didn't Know About Dawson's Creek
New Post has been published on http://gossip.network/20-surprising-facts-you-probably-didnt-know-about-dawsons-creek/
20 Surprising Facts You Probably Didn't Know About Dawson's Creek
Anyone up for a day trip to Capeside?
Dawson’s Creek, the iconic WB teen drama that launched the careers of James Van Der Beek, Katie Holmes, Joshua Jackson and Michelle Williams, turns 20 today. Created by Kevin Williamson, Dawson’s ran from 1998-2003 on the WB, and gave the small screen one of its most infamous love triangles and SAT-worthy dialogue.
In honor of its milestone anniversary, E! News has compiled 20 secrets and fun facts you might not have known about Dawson’s Creek:
The Show Almost Never Happened: While Fox originally picked up the show, it went on to dump it. Williamson said at the 2015 ATX TV Festival, “I was told they were struggling with Party of Five and they didn’t need another one.” The WB picked it up two years later.
Original Theme Song: While Paula Cole‘s “I Don’t Want to Wait” became iconic, producers originally wanted Alanis Morissette‘s “Hand in My Pocket.” Alas, they couldn’t land the rights.
Those Names: Dawson. Pacey. Joey. Not names you hear every day. So how did Williamson come up with them? Williamson told The Hollywood Reporter, “Dawson came from a real place called Dawson’s Creek where we all hung out as kids and partied,” while Pacey “came from a friend of a friend named Pacey and I’d never met anyone with that name and thought it was a cool name.” (We agree!) And because Joey was a tomboy Williamson “wanted Josephine as a very girly name that could easily turn into a tomboy name like Joey.”
A Phrase Is Born: Remember Dawson’s infamous “walk the dog” line in the pilot? Williamson used it because the network would not let them say the word “masturbate.”
Columbia Tristar Television
Selma Blair Was Almost Joey: Before Katie Holmes was cast in the role that would make her America’s girl next door, Blair was this close to landing the role. “Joe was written to be a tomboy and everyone was coming in being very much a tomboy. We were very close to going with Selma Blair, who was amazing,” Williamson said to THR. “She read it very tough, with a lot of heart.” However, once he saw Holmes on tape, with “those two big eyes,” Williamson knew he had his Joey.
Joshua Jackson Was Almost Dawson: Williamson liked Jackson so much he didn’t care what role he took. “I fell in love with Josh Jackson because he could read any role, Dawson or Pacey,” he told THR. “But something wasn’t complete and that’s when the network said they didn’t see Josh as Dawson, and rightfully so. So, I went, “OK, he’s Pacey,” because I knew I wanted him in the show no matter what.
Charlie Hunnam Auditioned: The Sons of Anarchy star auditioned for a role on the WB drama, and while he didn’t land the part, he did meet his ex-wife Katherine Towne at his 1999 audition, marrying her three weeks later.
Spon-Con Before Instagram: Dawson’s Creek became so popular that it had a deal with American Eagle, with the characters wearing mostly AE clothes throughout season three, and the cast appearing in ad campaigns and promos for the clothing line.
Dawson’s Hairstyle Was Inspired By Brad Pitt: When Van Der Beek was first cast, the studio wanted him to change his hair, with the star revealing to The Daily Beast, “We found an ad for The Devil’s Own, the movie with Brad Pitt. They said: ‘What about Brad Pitt’s haircut?’ That’s how I got my Season 1 haircut.
Before She Was Mrs. Cruise…: Before marrying (and eventually divorcing) Tom Cruise, Holmes dated Jackson in the show’s earlier seasons, even calling him her “first love” in a Rolling Stone cover story. (Oh, and Jackson and Van Der Beek were rommmates during the first season of the show.)
Kerr Smith Didn’t Know Jack Was Gay: When Smith first signed on to join the show as Joey’s new boyfriend, he had no idea the character would eventually come out and be part of the first-ever gay kiss on TV. “I always knew I wanted Jack to come out of the closet, but I didn’t even tell [Kerr Smith],” Williamson said at the ATX TV Festival. “Let the audience love him, then let’s have him come out of the closet and have Joey have to deal with that—and then that would eventually drive her back to [Dawson].”
Jack’s Poem: Every fan remembers the moment Jack read his poem in class, the one that revealed he was gay. But many don’t know it was a real-life experience from then-producer Greg Berlanti.
Your Favorite BFFs Met on the Show: Everyone is obsessed with Michelle Williams and Busy Philipps‘ friendship, and we have the Creek to thank. Williams even made a surprise cameo on Philipps’ Cougar Town in 2013.
Cause For Celebration: Dawson finally losing his virginity was such a big deal that Van Der Beek brought a very special gift to set the day it was filmed. “I remember bringing champagne for the crew—Dawson finally lost his virginity!” he told The Daily Beast.
Chad Michael Murray Was Less Than Popular: Before starring on One Tree Hill, CMM was on Dawson’s as a love interest for Jen and Joey…and didn’t seem to make a lot of friends during his stint in North Carolina. During a Paley panel in 2009, Philipps called him “a douche,” later saying, “Don’t worry. I’m not real worried about burning bridges with CMM.” James Van Der Beek added, “He’s actually come a long way.” Post-event, Philipps even tweeted, “Just finished the dawson’s creek panel. Maybe I was too harsh on chadM2… Nah.” Love. Her.
Celebrity Guest Stars: A few actors who appeared on the show include Seth Rogen, Jane Lynch, Julie Bowen, Scott Foley, Jensen Ackles, Hilarie Burton, Rachel Leigh Cook, Ali Larter and Oliver Hudson.
There Was a Spinoff: Young Americans was a shortlived spinoff centering on Pacey’s friend Will Krudski (Rodney Scott) and his boarding school classmates at Rawley Academy. It also starred Ian Somerhalder and Kate Bosworth, but was canceled after just one season.
Columbia TriStar Television
The Show Almost Ended With Joey Picking Dawson: In the 2003 series finale, the love triangle officially ended with Joey choosing Pacey…but it almost didn’t happen, as Williamson first envisioned Dawson landing the girl. But halfway through writing the finale, Williamson realized that a happy ending for that couple wasn’t “what the show was set to be.”
“I wanted it to be a twist on the teen genre but also wanted it to be surprising, honest and real and say something about soul mates and what soul mates can be,” he explained at the ATX TV Festival. “That’s why we did it that way. When you left the show in that last moment, they’re a family and everyone got what they wanted. There was fulfillment and they were all happy.”
At the last minute, he changed his mind and the rest is TV history. But Williamson’s mom, who was Team Dawson, was not happy.
Jens’ Death Was A Lesson: In the series finale, which jumped ahead five years, the group had to deal with the devastating loss of Jen. “Dealing with the death of one of their own was the final thing that thrust them into adulthood forever. Dawson’s Creek was a coming-of-age story and that was the idea behind that ending,” Williamson explained of the decision. “That’s why we killed Jen, because I wanted them to deal with a death of one their own as that final lesson.”
Writer’s Room Goals: Some of the executive producers who get their start on Dawson’s? Julie Plec (who went on to gift us with The Vampire Diaries and The Originals), Greg Berlanti (Everwood, Arrow, The Flash, Riverdale…the list goes on and on, and that doesn’t even include his movies), Rob Thomas (Veronica Mars and iZombie), Jenny Bicks (Sex and the City), Anna Fricke (Being Human), Dana Baratta (Jessica Jones) and many more.
P.S. The entire series is available to stream on Hulu.

The questions range from the comic to the sublimely philosophical: from "Am I the only one who has problems eating chicken, watermelon, and bananas in front of white people?" to "Why is it so difficult for black American men in this culture to be themselves, their essential selves, and remain who they truly are?" The answers tackle the issues that continue to surround black male identity today in a uniquely honest, no-holds-barred manner. While the ostensible subject is black men, the conversation that evolves in these pages is ultimately about the nature of living in a post-Obama, post-Ferguson, post-Voting Rights Act America. Question Bridge is about who we are and what we mean to one another. Most critically, it asks: how can we start to dismantle the myths and misconceptions that have evolved around race and gender in America--how can we reset the narrative about ourselves, just as #blacklivesmatter has reset the narrative of civil protest? The founding artists, along with contributions from Ambassador Andrew Young, Jesse Williams, Rashid Shabazz, and Delroy Lindo, will introduce and contextualize the body of the work and provide closing remarks on our current and future social climate.

Wu, Tim, author. The attention merchants : the epic scramble to get inside our heads. First edition.
"From Tim Wu, author of the award-winning The Master Switch and who coined the phrase "net neutrality"--a revelatory look at the rise of "attention harvesting," and its transformative effect on our society and our selves. Attention merchant: an industrial-scale harvester of human attention. A firm whose business model is the mass capture of attention for resale to advertisers. In nearly every moment of our waking lives, we face a barrage of advertising enticements, branding efforts, sponsored social media, commercials and other efforts to harvest our attention. Over the last century, few times or spaces have remained uncultivated by the "attention merchants," contributing to the distracted, unfocused tenor of our times. Tim Wu argues that this is not simply the byproduct of recent inventions but the end result of more than a century's growth and expansion in the industries that feed on human attention. From the pre-Madison Avenue birth of advertising to TV's golden age to our present age of radically individualized choices, the business model of "attention merchants" has always been the same. He describes the revolts that have risen against these relentless attempts to influence our consumption, from the remote control to FDA regulations to Apple's ad-blocking OS. But he makes clear that attention merchants grow ever-new heads, and their means of harvesting our attention have given rise to the defining industries of our time, changing our nature--cognitive, social, and otherwise--in ways unimaginable even a generation ago"--.

Rankine, Claudia, 1963- author. Citizen : an American lyric.
Claudia Rankine's bold new book recounts mounting racial aggressions in ongoing encounters in twenty-first-century daily life and in the media. Some of these encounters are slights, seeming slips of the tongue, and some are intentional offensives in the classroom, at the supermarket, at home, on the tennis court with Serena Williams and the soccer field with Zinedine Zidane, online, on TV--everywhere, all the time. The accumulative stresses come to bear on a person's ability to speak, perform, and stay alive. Our addressability is tied to the state of our belonging, Rankine argues, as are our assumptions and expectations of citizenship. In essay, image, and poetry, Citizen is a powerful testament to the individual and collective effects of racism in our contemporary, often named 'post-race' society.

92: Biographies are in the Biography Room
Goldman, Emma, 1869-1940. Living my life : abridged. Condensed ed.
Anarchist, journalist, drama critic, advocate of birth control and free love, Emma Goldman was the most famous—and notorious—woman in the early twentieth century. This abridged version of her two-volume autobiography takes her from her birthplace in czarist Russia to the socialist enclaves of Manhattan’s Lower East Side. Against a dramatic backdrop of political argument, show trials, imprisonment, and tempestuous romances, Goldman chronicles the epoch that she helped shape: the reform movements of the Progressive Era, the early years of and later disillusionment with Lenin’s Bolshevik experiment, and more. Sounding a call still heard today, Living My Life is a riveting account of political ferment and ideological turbulence.
