Finding Space to Grow What Matters: I posted a new piece on my Substack (please subscribe if you like creative stuff!) about being stuck, not knowing what’s next, and why maybe that’s not a bad thing after all. Check it out here (it's free!): open.substack.com/pub/curtmega...

Finding Space to Grow What Matters

Sometimes the hardest part isn’t coming up with ideas. It’s giving them a place to grow.

I agree that artists should create art that reflect the times but I have no idea what to make right now that wont also make me insane for thinking too much about it.

Space Baby is a delightfully creative and twisted slice of anthology nightmare fuel! Animation, puppetry, songs...a little of everything! I loved the hell out of it! @curtmega.bsky.social @teamstarkid.bsky.social @jonmatteson.bsky.social

This is @curtmega.bsky.social first Starkid role. He previously starred in Glee with Darren Criss. He has been in every Starkid show since and recently co-created their anthology series "Space Baby" with Jaime Lyn Beatty.

so here we are: Olivia played Uptown Girl for this boy while watching reruns of Glee, THEREFORE we can reasonably assume that it's the Glee cover, performed by none other than @curtmega.bsky.social as a Warblers number in episode 3x05, and the experience prompted her to write the hit single Deja Vu

I know preservation is important, but I think we should also normalize deleting everything and starting over.

I went back tonight and realized I uploaded 615 videos to tiktok. I honestly can’t remember doing all that. Anyways, if this is the end, it’s been real TT. I don’t miss you much since I stopped going on there, but the hypocrisy of stripping it away while X and Meta exist is wild.
