Happy #PortfolioDay!

I understand that they gave somebody 150 million to be the new boss of CBS. I just want to say, if these people are ever looking to do more novel things with their money, for 150 million dollars I will write an album every day for a year. I'll do it, too. try me

One thing I like about my birthday is that it was a really busy plot day in Bram Stoker’s Dracula

ITS A GOOD BOOK (not like the Bible, shorter more interesting)

Heather Hogan @heatherhogan.bsky.social · 22d

If you grew up evangelical like me and saw all of this *waves hands around wildly* coming, this book is so very for you. Or if you just love good writing!

Jeanna Kadlec @jeannakadlec.bsky.social · 23d

Terribly sorry to remind everyone that some of your favorite people in the space paid real live money to take classes called “Movement”

@melissajlusk.bsky.social might have given my TTRPG the greatest theatre kid compliment in calling it “Brechtian” honestly I can’t express how much I love that
