Laid up with yet another cold? And I CAN'T sit at my desk? Well we're just going to apply for jobs and write in Google docs on our phone, okay? Okay. 🤧

If you're under 18 and doing indie audio drama - I love and support you but please watch out for people taking advantage of you! The AD space is as a whole really lovely, but there are bad apples here and they can be very charismatic.

My cat wants you to know that he's upset about not getting any of the cheese from my omelet nor any sips of my tea. He's upset that the world (me) has failed him. Please send Beans kind words during these trying times.

What productivity tools are you using these days, and why is one of them your cat?

Your monthly reminder: Keep writing. When no one cares, persist. When things appear to be crumbling, keep at it. When it's difficult, push through. When you feel alone, listen to the stories in your blood. Just write. The world needs your stories.

The fucking President ordered attacks on Venezuela. If you're still supporting this jackass what the fuck?

Oh hey, new year and a new chance to support creators on Patreon, ko-fi and by commissioning human artists making amazing art! Leaving this one open to all to REPLY, not QP with your own links. Your own, not someone elses.

Biggest lessons in 2025 to remember in 2026: - My former bosses and co-workers were not friends - Keeping myself small to appear humble was not good - Coffee, hot or iced, has no season - iced lattes in snowy weather pls - I'm apparently intimidating even when silent?!?!

Good.

You cannot listen to "He Loves U Not" by Dream without playing "Never Ever" by All Saints and then listening to "Stronger" by Britney Spears right after.

🎶 I'D WASH THE SAND OFF THE SHORE GIVE YOU THE WORLD IF IT WAS MINE 🎶

Podcast collage thing...

This will evolve as I continue to do. So grateful to have done any of this prior to and in 2025. 🖤✨️ rissavoices.com

Just sent a few e-mails to local creators in the film industry. My fingers, toes, herbs, and corset strings are all crossed. Aiming high for 2026. 🖤✨️

Did the hard thing and took my own headshots. I won't apologize. I'm proud of me and I encourage you to do that hard thing today, too 🖤✨️ (there's a bunch more but le sky has a limit 😆)

This was fun, voicing a wicked or evil AI is a dream of mine for a major IP - I cannot express how much I love when the horror side of sci-fi comes together! 🤖✨️💕 I also have NO idea what my hair is doing. IT STAYS. 😆

Scerry Creepmas! 🎄🎅🖤✨️🦇

It's Noche Buena - don't forget to leave out a plate of cookies for Art tonight. 🎄✨️🖤

Happy Yule, best wishes for Winter Solstice 🪵🧀🍓✨️❄️

Your Cat vs. You

Beans wishes you many hot cocoas and a zombie movie marathon

In an effort to avoid any financial complications after being let go from my day job I am doing my best to remain ahead of the proverbial game of deeper depression and late bills. That being said, what in the heck is up with LinkedIn?! I am FLOORED by how many bots have been messaging me.

I could never take the place of Lee Crooks as the voice of the CTA but if there is ever a need for a femme voice to be added in anywhere for our city's functions I'd be more than happy to shoot my shot.

OH MY GOD HE REALLY GOT ME A SWORD OF THE URUK-HAI 🖤🖤🖤🗡!!?!??!?!? CAPSLOCK ISN'T LOUD ENOUGH I MUST SCREAM IN COMIC SANS!!!!😍

LinkedIn is WILD. After updating a few spaces in my profile I was soon bombarded with a ton of bots. So uh...wow. 😆

If you’re excited for “Queens of the Dead” and looking for something similar, I wrote a zombie comedy podcast mini-series for the Romero Foundation. its called “DEADASS” A group of stand up comedians are trapped in a club on the night of the zombie outbreak. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Just awake at the Witching hour working on some goals and project management templates.

David Howard Thornton is fantastic as Art The Clown. If you haven't seen the Terrifier movies, please do.

How your e-mail finds me

Krampus haunted house at 13th Floor Chicago - it did not disappoint! 🎅👻

I made lamb for dinner because depression won't stop my urge to make MEAT 🥩

I've always been proud to be part of the Bloody Disgusting crowd on the podcasting side...however ya girl DEFINITELY needs to lean WAY more into screenwriting/acting. Best holiday horror I've seen in a while. Even better that I got to see it with my partner - we cheered (quietly 😆) at the ending!

Watching people I love brag about how they trained their AI narrator to sound almost human:

Perfect cup for coquito 🇵🇷

Okay, let's play: You live in Chicago. Where's the first place you're going when the zombies take over (or wherever you are)? I am DEFINITELY heading for the Harold Washington Library or the Field Museum. Also, the Winter Garden, El tracks, and the marina could make for cool escape routes. 🧟‍♀️

I vibe with Persephone pantones. 🌹

I am really proud of this 👏🏽

Made a little creepy tune inspired by the memories of all the mischief I'd get up to while staying with my grandparents in Puerto Rico - which was a very big part of my childhood. Instruments: BandLab Editing/Mastering: Audacity/Izotope RX 10 Giggle: me! 😆 👻🐸🇵🇷

On my second watch of "House Of Spoils"

If you have family visiting over the next month, be sure to gently remind them that there will be a risk to around $500+ in plumbing repairs if kitchen/plate scraps are shoved into a disposal or sink drain. Root vegetables, rice, & banana peels are the most common destroyers. Compost it if you can!

This holiday season, please remember it isn't illegal to just walk in, grab a plate, and leave. 🖤

👻 True Story Time: CW: Medical Trauma

I honestly feel like the paranormal side of the community is scared/silenced/tone policed by skeptics, but like... ...anyone out there? 👀

Who here would like me to share some paranormal experiences I've had?

I am starting to feel like "me" again - or maybe it's my cafécito.
