one of the best tertiery effects of having made some audio drama is now sometimes I get emails with subject lines like "50% OFF CANNONS"

New gender neutral toilet just dropped

I'm finally finishing the edit on an absurd fight scene for @nonormallifepod.bsky.social that we recorded in pieces over months, and LET ME TELL YOU, my decision to start binge listening to @thegrottopod.com last week is making the vocal cut for @taytayheyheyva.bsky.social much weirder/funnier.

hey panera can we have the lemonade that kills us again

Let's kick off Season 5 shall we?!🥳 Meet Jerry & the team of Immunity Agents working hard to keep him healthy on his 21st birthday! Will the newly formed team hold the line & keep this Jerry Day as merry as can be? link.chtbl.com/drimbus?sid=... #cityofjerry #newepisode #dndpodcast #newseason

so, in short: • if we all get loud for trans rights and actually organize a movement, we can win this one • if we don’t, then a de facto ban on care is assured in us law within the next six months in other words, you found yourself in history now’s a moment to be the hero really.

FINALLY THIS IS THE ELECTION WHERE THE BRITISH COLUMBIA RESULTS ARE LOOKING LIKE THEY WILL ACTUALLY MATTER (for a minority or majority) PRAISE BE TO MY PROVINCIAL NARCISSISM

As a BCer on the ballot I AM excited that the government hasn't been called as we get to the riding I'm overseas voting in, thank you Rosemary Barton for noticing me. #canpoli

woof no matter who wins this is a rough night to be someone who believes in a multi-party system. #canpoli

If CBC still has funding after tonight, who can I send my pitch two about two rival federal leaders in neighbouring ridings who, through a gerographical quirk accidentally buy houses next door to each other? #canpoli

again, this man is an empty hairpiece full of ambition in place of any recognizable human principles but it’s a shocking failure of that ambition that he could not recognize that “join the right wing culture warriors in shitting on people” is the exact opposite of what people want

Of interest to the Canadians: I am launching a pop-up newsletter for the upcoming federal election. It'll be a campaign dairy meets a place to dump interviews, policy analysis, and a bunch of other stuff. Join us! www.bugeyedandshameless.com/p/introducin...

CALLS ARE WORKING - it has bought us precious time, but we NEED to keep the pressure up. Tomorrow is the cloture vote. KEEP CALLING: (202) 224-3121 ☎️☎️☎️ Tell your Dem Senator to vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill. Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.

in america you have several inalienable rights unless you poll badly with white suburbanites

It’s pretty interesting that both Tim Walz and Gavin Newsom are clearly positioning themselves to run for President and one thought he should publicize that he’s having diplomatic conversations with Canadian provinces close to Minnesota and the other thought he should publicize that he sucks

It’s time for the Milk Hotel to choose a side

Tass/Eric from @thecritshow.bsky.social needs our help. He's an absolute gem, and he is in a lot of pain. If you can spare anything, if you can share this fundraiser, every little bit helps. www.gofundme.com/f/help-eric-...

House Republicans just voted to gut Medicaid, which covers 1 in 5 Americans overall, including 41% of births and 63% of nursing home care. They also just voted to gut SNAP, on which 41 million food insecure Americans rely. This won’t just harm people. This will kill people. They own this.

The real update here is that recording No Normal Life is one of the small number of things that make being a queer nonbinary immigrant not feel like a fucking GRIND these days, and I'm so glad you all let us get this show on the road.

people will really get on tumblr and write "want to swallow him whole like a snake" under a picture of Some Guy From a TV Show and that's what makes tumblr better than all other platforms

The most powerful words you can say right now to these fascist bastards is: "No, make me." They cannot actually be everywhere and enforce their fascist policies. They rely on fear to do the job of governing for them. By refusing to comply, you make their means of compliance ineffective.

We're going to make it through this 🩷💙 Let's turn our fear and rage into community action.

Are you ready to join a dark & supernatural circus? www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/5... We're excited to announce the launch of RINGMASTER - a gm-less DftQ #ttrpg for 2-6 players that plays in two hours, with no prep required. Now available as a Tarot-sized deck, Roll20 Module, or print-n-play!

The 21st century feels like losing a war that you’re being told is not happening.

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

Creators, don’t stop pitching queer content to editors, producers, etc. because you’re afraid it’s going to be stifled going forward. That just helps the bad guys. Don’t pre-censor yourself or the industry you’re in!

I remain convinced that if you resort to convenient bigotry to win votes, the people whose votes you gained will eventually vote for a more sincere bigot, while the people you abandoned will never trust you again.

that feeling where you want to talk about a small podcast, but will not join any more discords, so you start writing posts on tumblr designed specifically to give 1-3 mutuals brainworms.

And on Christmas Eve, when the ghosts assembled to save Elon Musk's eternal soul, they saw the latest news and said, "actually, bring out even more chains, this motherfucker's not worth saving"

Quitting journalism was probably good for my mental health, certianly good for my financial health. But sometimes your federal government is maybe falling, certianly pratfalling, and it is just gutting not to be in a newsroom any more.

what if I got t shirts made that said 'All my Homies Hate Noise Suppression Powered by Krisp' #justaudiodramathings

Sometimes I think it's really unfair that making art is like 10% art 90% project management. But I WILL finish these casting emails if it's the last thing I do.

Sometimes self care is ordering 5 bottles of mealtonin.

Not too much longer before I drop the playtest materials for my 1930s carnival game, built using The Between's sturdy framework. [Playtest cover design by @clearkeep.bsky.social in case you were wondering why it looks so dang good.]

We're still at 34%! We can't continue Hi Nay in 2025 if we don't hit our $4000 goal, since we never hit our 2023 goal. DONATE AND SPREAD THE WORD TO #HORRORPODCAST fans! ko-fi.com/hinaypod/shop Here's art from the 2023 fundraiser by the wonderful @eleidoscope.bsky.social with Kakampink Mari 🌺🧋

Life hack: Nothing will get you through your #audiodrama backlog like having series finale you aren't emotionally ready to listen to in your queue.

I'm back in Canada for a couple of days and I'm so fucking thankful today was just a random Thursday.

HASTINGS: I say, Poirot, this vial’s labeled “hyaluronic acid”! Is it a poison? SKINCARE HERCULE POIROT: Non, mon ami. This acid, it replenishes the skin’s barrier naturale HASTINGS: So this is a gal who takes care of her skin. SKINCARE HERCULE POIROT: *irritated* The gentleman may use it as well

Hello new followers! Since your are almost certainly all audio drama peeps, DO YOU KNOW I AM CASTING ROLES? Come get meanced my monsters in my sapphic audio drama @nonormallifepod.bsky.social.

Audio Drama writing is so underrated. Like what do you mean people get to hear about characters that I care so much for and also like them? I don’t know I like it. :)

It's all tied together and don't let them trick you into thinking it's for safety

Google very rarely improves my life and/or experience of its products, but I will say being able to two-click respond to emails with 😈 has its moments.

The real trap here is that the Republicans have made defending civil rights seem like a frivolous thing and a whole lot of liberals are falling in line. Even if it was a culture war, so what? This would be a war worth fighting. What are we even doing here, people? Get it together.

Thanks to everyone who's already sent in their reel! Still loads of time to send yours in too! #audiodrama (Also yes it *is* driving me nuts that I wrote grizzly instead of grisly and don't even have a monster bear in this season to justify it...)
