Years ago, my colleagues at Business Insider and I tracked YouTuber “cancellation” arcs. What we found is that for many entertainers, “cancellation” actually sets the stage for a redemption arc, one that can raise their profile higher than ever. It wasn’t career-ending. It was fuel.

I Ate (the outfit and the food)

thinking of her today

Polyamory means I get to fuck a lot of hot people AND the Catholic Church is against it?!?? Stop stop, I was already sold!!

My current verdict on Wicked: For Good Were there moments I nearly sobbed? Yes absolutely Did they capture the lightening in a bottle they got last time? No, they didn’t stand a chance because it’s a movie about Act 2 of Wicked, which is bad Were there shots I said “oh come on now 😒”? Definitely

I wonder if he’s here to see Wicked: For Good

After blundering my way through many different extracurricular sports, I auditioned for the school musical. When my audition was done the directors said: “Where have you BEEN??”. I’ve been doing this tomfoolery ever since.

So rock me, mama, like a wagon wheel Rock me, mama, any way you feel Hey, mama, rock me Rock me, mama, like the wind and the rain Rock me, mama, like a southbound train Hey, mama, rock me

Without downloading new pics what’s it like dating you?

I’m even more of a polycule slutcloud than my wife and yes it’s a competition (/j)

A director takes floor time before the show 💐

Eyyyyy, almost like an anniversary post but for the fact that my body keeps fUCKING DOING THIS

Between common takes like "trans people must disclose they're trans before someone becomes attracted to them" and "polyam people are the devil because I don't want to be polyam", there's a problem with people not being able to handle the risk of discomfort in dating. Sorry, y'all, dating is weird!

Okay good so it’s not just me, Google Maps has been regularly telling me to do many different illegal things (which sounds wild as I type it but I promise it’s happened!!!) and then giving me a half-page questionnaire about if there’s actually construction near me, while I’m driving.

Why am I so against generative AI in games? Because I simply do not want my initial reaction to art to be one of suspicion and scrutiny, AI slop is fundamentally damaging my relationship to art and artistry, and I am deeply resentful that it is forcing me to be guarded when I should be wowed.

Sometimes, you have to embrace the chaos of vulnerability and say what you really feel. Haunted Mansion (2023) wasn’t necessarily a good movie in a technical sense but I actually had a good time watching it.

Quote post with you being a hottie in a dress Yes men can wear dresses, it’s called fashion 💅🏻

Huh, I mean my top surgery was only $10k but maybe gender-affirming care costs more in NYC

Big news, if you’re attracted to me that does make you gay.

“Brecht on Theatre” (to make people think I’m smarter about my passions than I actually am) and “Disneywar” (to underscore the demise of my career through, presumably, my hubris)

Aurora Borealis might be visible from my kitchen tonight, which, without getting into details, is a huge relief for this luncheon I'm planning with my boss

Thank you, Veterans!

Someone better at video game design than me make a Persona game that’s just the script of Spring Awakening k thank u

this is literally never not accurate

Next time you yell “lesser of two evils” at someone for not wanting to vote for a Democrat, ask yourself: is that true? Is that what’s been happening?

If you live in the Philly area you owe it yourself to see this production of Spring Awakening, which I consider definitive (and not just because my friends made it) Youll cry, laugh and maybe learn something. Only six performances left after this afternoon! www.ticketleap.events/tickets/dram...

Some pictures from the production of “Spring Awakening” I directed!

I can’t stress enough that this is not uncommon right now. ChatGPT is dangerous, and the company does not give a shit.

“Kling, kling——[we’re] ready for anything~!” SPRING AWAKENING is opening HECKIN SOON!! Directed by @cegjeg.bsky.social, presented by The Drama Group of Germantown, & being performed at FUMCOG. We gots 9 performances, but make sure you grab tickets SOON to make sure you can see this important piece!

I'm happy that Mamdani won. But I won't let that get in the way of my celebrating Cuomo losing.

Go vote! I demand it!!!!

Aw did Brianna Wu find out that “moderates” on trans rights want us dead like we’ve been saying the whole time, and throwing fellow trans people under the bus was never going to end well? Did somebody fuck around and find out???

Five Halloweens ago, I made one of the best decisions of my life 💜

For any guys dressing up as women this Halloween “as a joke”, we’ll be here for you when you’re ready.

Obvious to say this, but the actual function of the smear job isn't to make us ask about his aunt, it's to show us the words "hijab" and "9/11" in a headline with his photo.

An incomplete list of people I’ve called “aunt” in my life: -The female siblings of my parents -My godmother, aka my mom’s friend, no relation -Several friends of the family, again no relation -Next-door neighbors, again no relation -Female camp counselors at a born-again Christian camp, no relation

Absolutely not trying to derail from the larger story here because boy howdy this guy must be a Nazi, but I do want to take a moment to recognize that the cover-up tattoo is fucking terrible

Ran an awards ceremony last night, nbd (it was extremely a bd)

Why the fuck did no one tell me about air fryers and how great they are??* *not only was I told many times, I’ve lived in a home with a great functioning one for over a year now, I just get scared to try new things sometimes

just block 'em and keep it moving. bsky.app/profile/did:...

If Ticketleap’s new format has a million haters I am one of them. If it has one hater I am that hater. If it has no haters that means I’ve died.

That @planetx.bsky.social is transgender is not even close to the top of the list of what’s admirable about her, but that’s because it’s a HUGE list with a billion accomplishments on it. Writer, artist, podcaster, past circus performer, mother, wife, and one heck of a cook, to name a few.

My foil-hat conspiracy is that people don’t understand how comparisons/simile/metaphor work anymore. I constantly try to say one thing is like another and get people explaining to me that the two things are in fact not literally identical in every single way.

Always remember with studies like this, you are getting a very specific data set *of people who would honestly volunteer information to strangers conducting a study*. That’s why the data on numbers of queer people are all over the place, because to say you’re queer is a risk.

yearly reminder to people insisting that we view Christopher Columbus as "a man of his time" that *the people responsible for the Spanish Inquisition* thought Columbus was out of pocket

Happy Columbo’s Day

I know Jared Leto is a piece of shit but we must keep hiring him for movies because he brings in box office revenue [aide whispers in my ear] ah, well nevertheless,

📢PEOPLE DON’T LIKE THIS SHIT AND WE DON’T HAVE TO ACCEPT IT AS THE NEW NORM IF WE DON’T WANT IT📢
