Horror Everything: 2016 – Forever [Dr Joe Ondrak]
**Horror Everything: 2016 – Forever**
Dr Joe Ondrak
The history of horror is also the history of media, and key in understanding how we use media to play with the boundaries of what is real and what isn’t. In this talk, I explore and explain how horror fiction traditions are useful to understand contemporary conspiracy culture, moving from false documents and found footage to creepypasta and QAnon. Taking a formalist and stylistic approach, I demonstrate how social media platforms shape meaning, blur the boundaries of fact and fiction, and create a shared cognitive environment ripe for conspiracy belief.
Dr. Joe Ondrak is a leading expert in digital horror, both real and fictional. He has published extensively on extreme right-wing terror, disinformation, and conspiracy theories, as well as creepypasta and networked digital horror genres. He currently works as a subject matter expert in hate groups at Resolver and consults on digital extremist behaviours and activities. His chapter for the Routledge Companion to Horror Studies – The (New) Medium is the Monster: Networked Digital Horror – is forthcoming.
**NB: This talk has been rescheduled to a different date and will take place on the third Monday instead of the usual second Monday.**
Monday Women's Badminton club session
This is a mixed ability night, however this is not a beginners session. We do ask that players joining us are at least of a lower intermediate level. This means that we’d expect you to:
* Have the ability to execute and receive all badminton shots with some control;
* have an understanding of the rules of badminton and scoring and;
* (at least) some rudimentary use of tactics.
This is to ensure there are good competitive games for all members.
We play in the first floor sports hall and the session will be £10 payable by card on the night (no cash).
Rabble - Fitness Through Games!
A Rabble session is 1 hour of fun and social team games.
Each game disguises high-intensity intervals within the rules, giving you an effective, all-body workout without even realising it.
We play a bunch of different games at each session (like British Bulldog, Capture the Flag, Dodgeball, Frisbee and many more), and every class is different.
Sessions are open to all, no matter your sporting ability. Each game is explained before we start, so there's no need to have played any of the games before.
Come solo or bring friends! And stay at the end for the social part!
Who knew getting fit could be this fun?
**HOW TO BOOK**:
**It's essential that you book onto sessions via our website, using the link below**; due to restrictions on games and preparation times we cannot accept walk-ins, or late arrivals.

Nonfiction Bookclub: Plato's Euthyphro
**New members of all ages always welcome!**
One day in 399BC in the Athenian Agora, shortly before his trial for impiety, Socrates meet Euthyphro, another citizen involved in a religious suit and their subsequent conversation, whether fact or fiction or a mixture of the two is vividly portrayed by Plato in his short dialogue. Socrates, being prosecuted for his supposed failure to acknowledge the gods, is shown to have more concern for religious matters than his somewhat naïve friend; at the same time, however, Socrates’ probing about the logical inconsistencies in Euthyphro’s views about piety and the gods reveal him as a radical critic of Athenian social and moral values.
Startup Momentum Community Social
🚀 Startup Momentum Community Social
A recurring meetup for founders, aspiring founders, startup enthusiasts, and ambitious people who want to build meaningful things and surround themselves with others doing the same.
❌ This is not a traditional networking event.
The goal is to create a genuine entrepreneurial community built around openness, action, momentum, and helping each other move forward.
Whether you’re:
• Building a startup
• Exploring a new idea
• Looking for collaborators or a cofounder
• Trying to hire great people
• Feeling stuck on a problem
• Interested in startups, AI, business, or the future
• Or simply looking for more entrepreneurial people around you
— you’re welcome here.
Some people attending will already be founders. Others may just be starting their journey. What matters most is curiosity, ambition, openness, and a willingness to engage thoughtfully.
💡 What makes this different?
This meetup is designed around meaningful conversations and real value exchange.
Bring:
• Startup ideas you want feedback on
• Problems or blockers you want help solving
• Questions you’ve been thinking about
• Interesting things you’re building or learning
• An openness to helping others make progress too
The best conversations here are not:
“What do you do?”
They’re:
• “What are you trying to build?”
• “What are you stuck on?”
• “What kind of people are you hoping to meet?”
• “How can I help?”
We strongly encourage people to be open about what they’re trying to achieve and what support, introductions, collaborators, skills, or feedback they’re looking for.
The goal is for everyone to leave with:
⚡ More momentum
🤝 Valuable new relationships
💭 Better ideas and clearer thinking
🎯 Actionable next steps
🙏 Please help create the kind of startup community you’d want to be part of:
• Ask thoughtful questions
• Be curious about what others are building
• Share ideas generously
• Offer support and feedback where you can
• Make the most of every interaction
Many attendees will be coming alone, so don’t worry if you don’t know anyone beforehand.
🌱 This is our very first event.
The long-term vision is to build a recurring startup community where ambitious people genuinely support each other, exchange ideas, form collaborations, and grow together over time.
📲 There’ll also be a WhatsApp community you can join after the event to stay connected between meetups and continue conversations afterward.
Saturday Acting Workshop - Coriolanus!
Following our critically acclaimed productions of OTHELLO, MACBETH and TWELFTH NIGHT the Acting gymnasium's Saturday workshop returns to Theatre Deli on Saturday 28th March with a new imagining of Shakepeare's CORIOLANUS. Plenty of superb roles available!!
WE WILL PERFORM THE SHOW FROM 6TH-11TH JULY AT NETWORK THEATRE WATERLOO.
Set in a post-apocalyptic landscape, Coriolanus, a fierce and proud Roman general, earns fame after defeating Rome’s enemies, especially at Corioli. Despite his military success, he despises the common people and refuses to flatter them for political gain. Urged to seek public office, his arrogance alienates citizens, leading to his banishment. In anger, he allies with his former enemy Aufidius and marches against Rome. As destruction looms, his mother, Volumnia, pleads with him to spare the city. Moved by her words, he relents, choosing honor over revenge. His decision saves Rome but seals his fate, as he is killed for betraying his allies in return.

Thames Foreshore Visit - Southbank
Running through the heart of London; the River Thames has played a central role in the history of the city, and when the tide is low, the capital’s longest archaeological site is revealed.
Come along on Sunday 24th May to explore its history!
**About the foreshore**
I will be your guide as we will be going down to the Thames foreshore at low tide, where we will have about 1h 30mins to have a look around for objects before the tide comes in.
I will tell you more about foreshore, the industry in the area and will be on hand to identify and date objects you find. Most objects you can spot sitting on the foreshore after being washed in on the tide (its eyes only, we are not allowed to dig or scrape the foreshore surface).
You will find everything from bits of pottery, clay pipes, bottles, animal bones to ship items. Most of the things we find are from the Medieval to the Victorian period or you might be lucky and find something Roman or older.
**The Thames Foreshore is private land, so before we go down, I have to give everyone a short talk on health & safety on the foreshore.**
We will be finished by about 2:45pm.
**Footwear**
The foreshore is very stoney and sometimes muddy, so please wear sensible shoes (preferably walking boots/shoes or wellington boots). Plastic gloves and bags will be provided.
**Cost**
This is for Full Members of the group only and will be free for Full Members.

Columbus Comedy Improv Meetup at Gresso's!
Whether you've never done improv before, or you've done it for so long you knew Del Close on a personal level, or anywhere in between, come join us! Swing by *Gresso's* for the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup** for some fun and games!
The idea behind improv is to create entire scenes from scratch based on a suggestion from the audience. This can be done in game form, like *Whose Line Is It Anyway*, *ComedySportz*, or *Wild 'n Out*; it could also be done to tell stories, like *Middleditch and Schwartz*. Our meetup, which is central Ohio's longest running (and free!) weekly comedy event, brings the games (and occasionally different forms) for you to play in a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment. Not only is it a lot of fun, but you get to work on thinking faster on your feet, plus it's an excellent way to meet new people and make friendships that'll last a lifetime!
Ask yourself if you want to join the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**, and say "Yes, And" that you'll have fun!

**⚠️ Please note:** Rsvping here does not hold your place in the event, so use the link for your age range, complete sign-up, and submit the personality questionnaire — numbers are intentionally limited so register early, and without both steps done your spot is not held.

**This is for you if:**
- Daters across Cincinnati fed up with swiping with nothing to show for it and are ready for a genuine first impression.
- Residents in Cincinnati moving beyond shallow connections that never lead anywhere and prefer meeting people in person first.
- Daters locally in Cincinnati looking beyond shallow connections that never lead anywhere and are after something more than a swipe can offer.
**The Essentials**
- **Format:** Hosted in a live Zoom room with personality-matched video rounds, matched thoughtfully by age and personality data throughout.
- **Where:** At-home — from your desktop laptop or phone, the only requirement is a device with a camera and internet, and wherever you can focus comfortably is all that is needed.
- **Host:** A seasoned host keeps it comfortable and on schedule throughout, so the evening runs without a hitch — all the structure and timing is entirely off your plate.
- **Duration:** Usually wraps in around an hour and a half across all rounds, and most people wish it were longer.
**How it works**
1. **Pick your age group** – using the link that matches your age bracket, then take the brief personality quiz, because registration closes once spots fill.
2. **Click into Zoom** – through the Zoom link provided after registration, browser-based so no special app is required, and the host introduces everyone and gets the rounds started.
3. **Speed date** – quick private video rounds with Cincinnati area singles in your age range, as the host signals round starts and ends, as the quiz results already did the work of choosing who you meet.
4. **Receive match results** – once the event closes we share mutual match results, since no information is ever shared without mutual agreement from both sides, and then the rest is yours to decide entirely.
⭐ *"Genuinely fun evening — worth every minute of the 90 it took"* – Cincinnati first-timer
💡 **Before you join:** get your lighting sorted ahead of time, so you can be fully present from round one, and once it is done you are completely set for the whole session.

✨ Short rounds with real Cincinnati locals — pick your age group and sign up and you are completely set in this round. You might be surprised what one evening can do. 🪷 ✨
Pagans on the Patio
**Pagans on the Patio! Summer/Fall Series**
A casual gathering the first Thursday of each month. Time to relax, meet new people, and reconnect with old friends.
There is no charge for the event itself and all are welcome but there are a few guidelines:
1. **You are expected to purchase food and/or drink to compensate the Cantina and our server.**
2. **No soliciting. Do not bring samples of your wares or brochures of your services.**
3. **Please respect the spiritual and political views of others that are present. No disruption of the peace.**
In case of inclement weather, we will find seating indoors.
I hope to see you there. Blessed be! \~ Cynthia ❤️---
