this. this is what the internet is for. #neverforget

me when the chickens begin their long descent home to roost...

why do people keep emailing me? don't they know that I'm just a tiny baby?

by the time we hit mid-September, 80-degree days are misogynistic. i will not be taking questions at this time.

I love that @zachzaidman.bsky.social gets as excited about baseball as I do. Sir, you are a delight to hear on my radio. 💙

Oh good. The Air & Water Show.

Model 50 of ChatGPT is a real asshole.

I was just informed that medical premiums for my team will be increasing by 13% next year, and every other cost, from deductibles to copays to max out-of-pocket, are also increasing significantly. Healthcare for profit is immoral and should be criminalized.

I need a six-month moratorium on "platform upgrades" to the tools I use every day. And yes, I hear the Luddite Undertones and also I just need a handful fewer surprises day to day for a little while, okay?

A barista with long curly hair and a gorgeous floral sleeve really saw me (eldest daughter, former gifted student) when I resisted the urge to buy a pastry I didn’t need and he told me he was proud of me for being so brave.

Lucy Dacus should be crowned the Poet Laureate of Yearning. Someone please tell her I love her.

"But how can we answer this moment using art??" This is how:

Be in charge of a nonprofit, they said. It’ll be fun, they said.

Mondays really Monday extra-hard when you start your day calling the business banking number to dispute a check that's been cashed that your org definitely didn't write. (error, not fraud, thankfully)

Driving past Target feels a lot like driving by an ex’s house: for a second you miss them and all the fun you used to have together and then you remember that the reason you broke up is because they made an absolutely unforced error by bowing to a fascist and you’re like: good fucking riddance.

There really should be a way for my therapist to get an alert from Spotify if I play Frightened Rabbit and the soundtrack to The Hours in the same day.

Same.

I can't wait to see what my Senators - @durbin.senate.gov and @duckworth.senate.gov - are going to do to keep up the momentum that @booker.senate.gov built over the last 25 hours.

Hey! If you like what Cory Booker is doing right now, call your senators and ask them to do the same (now and in the future). Find their info at ☎️ reps.fyi!

Every network should be covering this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCUK...

Which contemporary musician belongs in the ACOTAR universe most, and why is it obviously Hozier?

Last night I had a dream where @amypoehler.bsky.social was my friend and mentor and I got to visit her on set while she was directing a movie and it was the first just ... pleasant dream I've had in ... years?

what if I set up an out-of-office email that's just this video of this cat?

might fuck around a write a good old-fashioned blog screed for World Theater Day this year...

Never has there been a cat whose expression captures my very soul as fully as this cat:

Are you a Company functioning toward the larger, common public good? OR are you a Club, guided by and towards the desire/wishes of the discreet number of individuals who are members? I suspect this distinction is what's going to ultimately save or damn the nonprofit arts and culture sector.

Chicago's Victory Gardens Theater (or what's left of it) had the audacity to send me a marketing email about the David Mamet Jerk Fest they're producing.

Hello, I’m a disruptor, very smart, here to create efficiency. I’m just going to drill holes in the bottom of this boat to see which parts of the hull are mission-critical.

My coworker: okay but is (romantasy book I’m reading) well written? Me: look. I don’t go to a steakhouse looking for a salad…

Gestures broadly

What if I got a PhD?

And the Nobel Prize in special achievement goes to Jess Hutchinson for her remarkable and unwavering ability to squander a meeting-free day like nobody else.

IDK, I think I’ve seen better owls.

I am in a Lyft driven by someone who is very angry, loves to unnecessarily honk their horn, and is also playing musak slow jams at an impossibly loud volume. The cruelty of 2025 truly is without limit.

What a gift (sorry for the pun) from Anna Gifty. Follow follow follow!

Rude, Spotify. The year 2005 was, clearly, 10 years ago.

Sweet Baby Jesus and the Grown One, Too: listen to my governor, sir, and use all YOUR levers in the Senate to actually IMPEDE HIS PROGRESS.

I think I've had all I can handle of people being shitty to each other.

Here is something you can do right now

A lot of this would be hilarious if it wasn't all so horrifying and resulting in actual, literal deaths.

I used to be good at things.

I just want to congratulate everyone on making it to the last week in January.

The Light Chasers is a scifi musical made with @jesshutchinson.bsky.social as my last show as Artistic Director of Know Theatre, based on an album by Cloud Cult. We did a single cam live stream of every performance. Multicam v.o.d. available for $5 with the code BSky! vimeo.com/ondemand/the...

I know why you suggested "Father Figure" to me, Spotify, and you're right: despite my best efforts, I continue to think about and try to decipher my recent viewing of the cinematic event BABYGIRL. Live footage of me:

Today is His Honor The Mayor's 7th Birthday and MLK Day and that is it.

He will steal, sir, an egg out of a cloister. For rapes and ravishments he parallels Nessus. He professes not keeping of oaths; in breaking ’em he is stronger than Hercules. He will lie, sir, with such volubility, that you would think truth were a fool.

look, I may not be causing no-holds-barred anarchy coverage of the feral floor of the House of Representatives on CSPAN today, but I DID finish preparing all of my organization's December financials for our accountant. Hence, I think I deserve a little treat.

I love @wbez.org so much and am proud to support the station, but dang - I don't think they realized the impact those big layoffs/buy-outs would have on the pledge drives. They really let some of their very best advocates go.

super cool that my response to donors unsubscribing from EOY appeal emails is to think that now they're mad at me. thanks, brain.
