Friendship in the #audiodrama world means nothing if you’re not hyping someone else up. As soon as you aren’t useful, no one cares about you, your wellbeing, your mental health, none of it. I’ve witnessed it first hand so many times.

Extremely disappointed to learn @fableandfolly.bsky.social have chosen to support a man who has bullied and harassed me for over a year. But the platforming of yet another abusive white cis man by the #audiodrama community shouldn’t surprise me.

Took Lady Grey, the stray cat my mom left in my care, to get spayed this morning. Turns out, she was born a boy cat! She must have been neutered very young. We had no idea. Even the vet didn’t know until she had the poor baby on the operating table! So yeah… I have a trans cat, apparently.

It’s funny how someone who couldn’t afford a mobility aid several months ago suddenly has enough money to hire a lawyer to send meaningless cease and desist emails. Just after running a crowd funding campaign for their latest project. I’m sure those facts are unrelated.

Some of you didn’t learn empathy by watching Quantum Leap, and it shows.

You know… the picture tells me all I need to know about this dude. Thanks, but no thanks, Article Header. Do we even need a trial, really? That is clearly the face of a man who thinks women who disagree with his point of view deserve to die.

No kings. Queens allowed if they’re in drag.

Today was a beautiful reminder that the United States are not down yet. Keeping fighting the good fight, folks! There are way more of you than we give ourselves credit for.

I rejoined a community I left long ago in favor of the #audiodrama community, and it has reminded me what a truly supportive community feels like. A community that welcomes women and listens to what they say, as opposed to a community where tit for tat is the unspoken rule if you want respect.

For transparency: I have deleted a post I realize may have crossed a line. I am not trying to hide it; I am correcting what I think may have been a mistake that made someone feel threatened.

I have a theory that people with OCD are more likely to enjoy cozy murder mysteries. It’s just so satisfying seeing everything slotting neatly into place. Real life ain’t like that, but as long as we can pretend briefly that it is, we can find some amount of comfort.

I admit that I don’t always know where the boundary between free speech & legal precautions lies. I want it recognized that I have made bad choices, but so have others, and if I am to be stoned for the same crimes they committed, then they can stand to catch a few stray pebbles too.

Ever think no one sees your recommendations? This is the first time in 7 months that someone has recommended Regina Prime on the r/audiodrama subreddit. I had a big spike in listens and downloads last week I couldn’t account for, but now I know why. Thank you 💚💜

Fun fact: well, not so fun, actually. For the last few years, I couldn’t stand the sight of myself. When I went to the bathroom, I sidled in with my eyes downcast to avoid the mirror. I felt so disconnected from myself that it seemed impossible anyone could want to look at me.

A quick thank you to those who have reached out with support, friend and stranger alike. There are plenty in the #audiodrama community to like to blame me for everything that goes wrong with their shows, lack of ability to grow an authentic listenership chief amongst them.

Anyway, accentuating the positive. Anyone want to hear me play guitar, badly?

And also, as a reminder, if I have you blocked and you are still seeing my posts, either through a secret account or through third parties letting you know what I post, you’re stalking me.

Just putting this here as a general FYI, in case any other #audiodrama creators get vaguely threatening emails from a law office based in Michigan. Gee, I wonder who lives in Michigan? Probably someone who has no legal standing to silence anyone & is using someone else’s situation to their advantage

When I get angry, I listen to songs by The Who because ever since I was 10, I knew the anger that existed in me also existed inside Pete Townshend. Season Two of Regina Prime was about anger in many ways, which is why I leant heavily on The Who’s catalogue for inspiration.

Alright. I’m getting offline. Twitter Jess is threatening to return & I am too fucking healed to let them provoke her into a fight. I’m gonna go soothing the savage beast. Those interested in seeing Healed Jess, please help keep me accountable if I start ranting. Compulsions are a real bitch.

A reminder of posts past: When I complained about review bombing, I was told to expect a certain amount of hate the bigger my audience got. When I complained about being harassed, I was told I should expect it, and I should “grow a thicker skin.”

I have to laugh, because I just realized what this is all about. I’m STILL being blamed for people’s failed crowd funding campaigns 😂 Like literally… isn’t that what all of you were accusing me of in 202fucking3???

The man who pointed a gun at me tried to intimidate me into silence. The man who tried to cheat on his partner with me intimidated me into silence. The man who took hundreds of dollars of my money tried to intimidate me into silence. I will never be silenced again.

When Bronson quit Echoes, he complained to me that he was getting hate messages. Without even seeing proof of his claims, I asked publicly for people to leave him alone. NONE of my harassers have shown me the same courtesy. They have ACTIVELY encouraged others to harass me and watch my posts.

Last year, a certain member of the #audiodrama community obtained my Chicago address in order to continue their online harassment of me IRL. I moved states because I was made to feel unsafe. Now, that person has now obtained my Arizona address for the same purpose. How are you all ok with this?

Speaking truth about the harassment I’ve received triggers more harassment, this is true. But calluses build up over scars every time the wound is opened. You cannot silence me into not speaking my truth, no matter how ugly it makes you look. I suggest you find a path to healing yourself for once.

A note from the “original actor:” I asked Steven to remove my performance after he decided to back my abusers and the people who continue to harass me. It took him 9 months to comply with my request. #audiodrama

These are Firefly Petunias. By day, they are white, but by night, they glow neon green. This effect was achieved by splicing them with bioluminescent mushroom DNA. Any guesses why I needed to own some IMMEDIATELY upon finding out about their existence?! 😂

The biggest mistake of my life has been abandoning my real life friends for online friends who have no real life friends. I’ve fixed that.
