I don't reply to spam texts. But after my 2A neighbor put up his NO on 50 sign, I've been seething. So I took the bait.

Reminder that any political party trying to make it harder to vote is sending a clear message: they can't win on their ideas alone.

It would be weird if someone wrote an entire song based on a phone number, right?

I once read a book on ghosts. The ending haunts me.

I read a romance novel where the primary location was a pizzeria. It was so cheesy!

We recorded an unrelated project with him in the early aughts.

He sent the voice director a copy of his book as a thank you, and inscribed it:

"If you like sheep, you're gonna like this book."

Comedian Don Novello published a book where he pasted pictures of sheep over people for a high school yearbook.

I tried to read a scandalous book about teachers having affairs over a holiday break, but it had no class!

Randy Coppinger 🎙🎛🎧 @randycoppinger.bsky.social · 2d

In grade school I read a book about attorneys, and their drama when court wasn't in session. But it wasn't on my school's reading list, so I could only read it at recess.

there is not a single person i could recommend more than Hazel for writing and narrative design work. her mind is incredible and can see creative visions where there are seemingly none. that also makes her INCREDIBLE to collaborate with.

Sadly, my contract with Blizzard ended in September. That means I'm looking for fulltime or contract work as a senior writer or narrative designer. If you need someone who can write sharp characters, poetic prose, and emotional stories, I'm available! www.hazelmonforton.com

It's #portfolioday! I'm presently a senior narrative designer at Blizzard, but before that I was at Bungie and Arkane. I wrote for the Writer's Guild award-nominated Dishonored: Death of the Outsider, and a bunch of critically acclaimed seasons and expansions in Destiny 2.
