DoT: people should dress nicer when they travel Me in the sweatsuit I bought at Costco:

We've only been here for a couple of months, but what a couple of months it's been. Thank you to everyone who took a chance on our weird little show. We love you, we love making it, and we can't wait for what's coming next year.

The best thing about doing social media for your own show is that no one can stop you from being weird with it.

@lindsayzana.bsky.social is everything I ever wanted Aubrey to be. I don’t play favorites with my characters, but Aubrey has a special place in my heart, and I couldn’t be happier with the way Lindsay’s brought her to life.

No one does snark quite like @kirstywoolven.bsky.social, and I just knew I needed them in the role of Morgan. They’re everything you’ve ever wanted to say to rude customers, and you’ll be quoting them for days.

Oz brought so much more to Nat than I ever pictured, and I’m so glad to have her in this role. Nat has some of my favorite character development in the whole series, and Oz embodies her perfectly.

Working with @hadronkaleidoscope.bsky.social on Breathing Space was so great that I just had to cast him again. Y’all are going to love Ken, and it’s largely because Michael plays him so damn well.

@classypollux.bsky.social is an absolute champ who was willing to record at the most absurd hours, and we appreciate him endlessly. He’s an INCREDIBLE Oliver and an excellent human.

With just two and a half weeks (!!!!) left until our premiere, we get to start introducing our principal actors! First up, @classypollux.bsky.social, who brings to life ruler of the stockroom and high lord of boxes, Oliver.

We end week 9 with our showrunner, @melnichols.bsky.social, who feels very weird posting about herself and will be going now, ok bye.

Also my emotional support sound designer (/space husband)

(shh, pretend I posted this on Wednesday, time is fake) Meet @interiority.bsky.social, the voice of the Documentarian and @melnichols.bsky.social's emotional support producer.

This week, we introduce more of our production staff, starting with composer @achill3a.bsky.social, whose fantastic scoring enables many an emotion crime I mean helps enhance our story.

Editor Week continues with our second wonderful dialogue editor, @eringrassie.bsky.social!

It's Editor Week, and today we introduce the first of our fabulous dialogue editors, @maddiejcoooper.bsky.social!

Next up, we have @tinacasevo.com, another perfectly normal customer, nothing different about her at all. Don't even...don't even worry about it.
