Another reminder: I have it set so people I don’t follow can’t reply for a very good reason right now. I’m in autistic burnout and interactions are very difficult for me. Anyone circumventing that because they really feel I need to read their opinion on something I posted will be blocked immediately
Got the phone call all comedians dread “are you near by?” When I was, in fact nearly 6 hours away from where I was supposed to be at 8pm 😬

Don’t know why it wasn’t in my diary. Properly fucked up there.

If we can only have art from people who "aren't in it for the money" that means we can only have art from privileged middle-class dilettantes. Making art being a viable career is responsible for nearly all worthwhile art, and if it's not a viable career any more we will get drastically less of it.

I’ve a formula for where I accept gigs that basically breaks down to how far away they are, what day of the week they are, what they pay, and how close to the booking it is. So for example, I wouldn’t book a £200 gig in Oxford on a Sat before the Fri before, but I’d book a £150 Weds three months out

You’re an autistic lesbian fan of Musicals and CM Punk, so this is my top 25 songs of the year on Apple Music

Day 337; restate my assumption: billionaires made AI talk like that because that’s how everyone talks to them and it’s shaped their worldview.

Yesterday, the Epic Games Store decided at the last minute not to distribute the game, after having previously approved a release build. HORSES is otherwise now available on GOG, Itch, and Humble for $4.99. www.horses.wtf

Trying to figure out why those guys with those opinions all look like that.

Someone mentioned to me that the song Feliz Navidad sounds like a Scouser singing “Police nabbed me dad” and now that’s all I can hear

My latest newsletter is about how centrist pundits got the lessons of the 2024 election wrong, and how the politics of 2025 exposed them.
The Pundits Were All Wrong
The Republican collapse has exposed elite pundits as clueless

Elmo: But Bethany what do we do when we are reminded of something that makes us sad?

Being autistic and into musicals means my end of year replay on apple music is kind of embarrassing, my top three artists are the three leads from Death Becomes Her the musical and I’m in each of their top 100 listeners. Listened to the album 77 times in April. 😬
