2011-12-10T14:07:51Z

In this The Omega Podcast special, Wes interviews Jason Tucker at Chicago TARDIS about the upcoming Gaylaxicon that will be happening October 5 through the 7th in Minneapolis, MN.

Gaylaxicon is a fantastic event that gives all of us who appreciate LGBT characters and themes in science fiction, fantasy, horror, comics, and games an opportunity to socialize and share ideas. Gaylaxicon will provide attendees with a greater depth and breadth of GLBT related topics than other SF conventions. Attendees also can converse and spend time with other fans who examine the genre through queer life experiences. Gaylaxicon welcomes all fans regardless of sexual and gender identity or planet of origin!

Lyda Morehouse

Since 2003, Prism has supported LGBT comics, creators, and readers through its annual resource guide, active participation in San Diego Comic Con and other conventions, and its annual Queer Press Grant, which awards a $1000 grant to a comics creator who publishes a work of interest to an LGBT audience.

DWPA - WhoNews for Charity begins the 21st of November, 2011

2011-11-20T22:47:47Z

For one week, starting the 21st of November, all profits from WhoNews will be donated to Cure Leukaemia and Little Hearts Matter. So please spread the word, tweet, post on Facebook, put a link on your site or send a friend an email.

Cure Leukaemia is a research charity which works with a number of hospitals to fund extra research nursing posts to drive forward research, provide facilities for world-class research, develop new clinical treatments for leukaemia patients, fund the provision of new drugs and treatments and support patients with blood cancers throughout the Midlands. http://www.cureleukaemia.co.uk/

Little Hearts Matter http://www.lhm.org.uk/ is the national charity for children born with a single ventricle heart condition, more commonly called half a heart. Twenty years ago most of these children would have died within days or even hours of being born. Thankfully, today there is life-saving surgery available for many of these children, however not all survive the complex operations required. This open heart surgery starts when the child is just a few days old and they continue to need surgery at intervals throughout their childhood.

Those that do survive will never have a fully working heart so need to learn to live within the physical restrictions and are likely to need a heart transplant in early adulthood. Around 30% of the children who are born with this condition are unlikely to make it to the age 5. The oldest person with the severest of these conditions is 20, even for the children who do survive the condition is not curable and they will need to learn to live with the disability this life limiting condition creates.

Little Hearts Matter provides support from initial diagnosis right the way through the hazardous and frightening journey the child and family need to take. They also offer bereavement support to parents, when they sadly lose a child.

Just by purchasing WhoNews from the App Store either via iTunes or on an iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch, users will make a donation of £1.21 in the UK, $2.10 in the US and $1.90 in Australia. WhoNews is available from all iTunes App Stores across the world, so everybody can make a donation and keep in touch with the latest news on Doctor Who in return. You purchase can it here http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/doctor-who-whonews/id324696860?mt=8

So if you was thinking of purchasing WhoNews why not make your purchase count or may be gift a copy to a friend who is mad about Doctor Who.
