I started a discord group that I’d love to have function as a virtual open mic! It’s hard to find spaces where you can just play as a creative without the pressure to be perfect. Share a project that doesn’t quite work yet or a serious scene that has nowhere to go: discord.gg/tqFR9ytK

When I worked in restaurants, I hated regulars - even the good tippers - because I HATED conversation. But what I wouldn't have given for a regular like Roberta. Episode 7! Creator: @mandibossard.bsky.social #PercyByssheShelley #poet #barista #comedy #animation #cafe youtube.com/shorts/ySOw9...

Percy. Episode 7! With THE James Dunn.

Sometimes you procrastinate on something and when you get to it, it’s every bit as annoying as you thought it’d be, if not more so. And it’s like “It rocked procrastinating on that!! Past me had the right idea!”

Threads is just rage bait and I fall for every single one. Every time I go on there, I end up reading something like “Well!! Now why would you-“ and then I’m like “Dammit. Ya got me.”

Percy's learning more lessons about customer service. I play the umbrella guy, and I may or may not have based the voice on a real person I know and hate. Episode 6! Series created by @mandibossard.bsky.social. #PercyByssheShelley #poet #barista #comedy #animation #cafe youtube.com/shorts/4f0GQ...

Percy. Episode 6!

Whenever Libby sends a notification like “your book was returned automatically on its due date,” I feel like I’m in trouble.

Customers are the worst, as Percy is slowly learning. Luckily, Eleanor is there to guide him through the mess. Episode 4! Series created by @mandibossard.bsky.social (who also voices the weirdo in this ep). #PercyByssheShelley #poet #barista #comedy #animation #cafe youtube.com/shorts/rTI_H...

Percy. Episode 5!

Gender is a spectrum of how and why you feel weird eating a banana in public.

Percy. Episode 4!

Absolutely coursing with adrenaline at Jiffy Lube like I’ll have to fight a lion mid-oil change.

Here are the first three episodes of the series I’m writing about Percy Bysshe Shelley working as a barista! It’d mean so, so, so much if you guys checked it out!

There we go. Support this man.

Percy. Episode 3!

I would love to be the kind of woman who wears a lot of rings. But that isn’t the journey I’m on and I need to make peace with it.

It’s crazy that JK Rowling isn’t just a terf. She’s like literally only a terf. It’s her whole thing. It’s all she does. Just a constant spill of toxic, vile sludge.

Percy. Episode 2!

“Why isn’t anyone talking about the TikTok ban this time?” Oh because last time everyone wrote each other lovey dovey “let’s stay connected!” dms. But then in the wake of it being “saved,” the app was absolutely taken over by people posting cruel outrage bait to make as much money as possible.

Picking my cat out of the sink and him immediately licking the olive oil bottle as I set him down? Comedic timing people train their whole lives to perfect.

Things money can't buy, on this very good day for democracy, and for the Democrats.

It’s such a relief that Gavin Newsom turned out to be a slime ball politician. Because there was a beat there where it looked like he might be good and just looked like a slime ball politician. But those moments where you really can judge a book by its cover? Are just so soothing.

I haven’t had the emotional resilience to handle an April Fools’ prank since 2015.

Percy. Episode one!

Percy! First episode tomorrow. I’ve been working on this with some super funny friends! Can’t wait for you guys to see.

Taurus astrology:

Her crime was writing an op/ed. Her visa was valid, but she wrote an op/ed

It’s so eerie to me when someone’s whole brand is self-help/self-betterment and they never, ever mention politics.

The reactions to the Severance finale are like if people went “but why was the monster so mad at Frankenstein?”

It’s sort of crazy how any time I see spoilers before I’ve had the chance to watch something, that’s so inconsiderate and wrong but if anyone complains about spoilers after I’ve seen something it’s like “okay well just keep up if you’re going to whine??”

Me filling out completely truthful info on any sort of official form: What if I’m lying? Is this a lie? Will they arrest me for lying?

See you tonight, Seattle! On deck: 🖤 3.14 seattle 🖤 3.15 vancouver, bc 🖤 3.18 san francisco, ca 🖤 3.19 glen ellen, ca 🖤 3.22 los angeles / sierra madre [message me for info]

Every article from The Cut is like I Went to the Wrong Wedding and Married the Groom I Met There, Now We’re Opening Our Marriage.

My hot take is that some people put a lot of energy into boycotting all the right things and forget to just like…be kind to people. To be honest, I don’t give a shit if you haven’t used Amazon in a year if you’re a big butthead overall? Or if you only talk about yourself all the time?

I love that Stephen King calls every other horror novel that comes out the best horror novel of the past decade. Like he easily could have ended up a horror snob and instead he’s always like “This was a blast!! Scared my pants off!! 5 stars!”

Hey Washington, be sure to ask @gluesenkampperez.house.gov why she voted to censure Al Green. She’s up for re-election in 2026 and I sure would like to know why she forgot she ran as a Democrat.

TikTok creators get promoted to red carpet interviewers in the same way people in the corporate world get promoted to management positions. Where literally nothing you’ve done previously demonstrates that you’d do well in the new position but it’s just been decided that that’s the upward growth.

Episode 5!

There’s no bond quite like the one you form with the person you only email at work and will never meet in person.

If you’re good in this life, you should get to be a really dumb cat in the next.

Episode 4!

Episode 3!

It’s a little weird that one of the primary messages from Democrats in office since the election has been “we hate our base and wish they’d stop asking us to fight for them”
