Summary: <em>In which we throw our remit out the window to talk about a year's worth of non-SFF!<br> </em><br> <br> <br> <strong>What’s New on the Internet</strong><br> <br> This year, the Tiptree Motherboard established the Tiptree Fellowship Program to seek out and support creators who are striving to complete new works and make their voices heard. By adding Fellows each year, this program will create a network of creators who can build connections, support each other, and find opportunities for collaboration. <br> <br> First Tiptree Fellows: Walidah Imarisha and Elizabeth LaPensée.<br> <br> You can donate to encourage these and other new creators - donate through PayPal — or you can mail a check to 680 66th Street, Oakland, CA 94609.<br> <br> <a href="http://www.fangirlhappyhour.com/2015/11/20/fangirl-happy-hour-episode-27-that-darn-internet/">Kate Elliott on Fangirl Happy Hour</a><br> <br> <strong>What Non-SFFH Culture Have we Consumed over the YEAR? <br> </strong><br> <strong>TV:</strong><br> <strong>Alisa:</strong> The West Wing rewatch, Transparent S1 and 2, Billy and Billie S1, The Good Wife<br> <strong>Tansy:</strong> Leverage, Glee, Grace &amp; Frankie, Please Like Me Season 3, Master of None<br> <strong>Alex:</strong> Spooks rewatch; Veronica Mars<br> <strong><br> Movies:</strong><br> <strong>Alisa:</strong> Star Wars: The Force Awakens (non-spoilery discussion mostly of seating, context and spoiler-avoiding)<br> <strong>Tansy:</strong> <a href="http://tansyrr.com/tansywp/tag/musketeer-media-monday/">Musketeers</a>!
