l haven't been in a play since 1997, and I didn't even know I was in consideration for this role, but I'm going to give this groundbreaking, brilliant show and character and cast everything l've got.

There’s a glaze at my clay studio called Peggy Blue, but I’m working hard to get everyone to call it Margaret Blue because she’s SO fancy.

Biggest letdown in my life is that not ONCE did I stumble into a grumpy old man’s antique shop, defy his strict instructions to not mess with a particular item (as he smirks just out of view), and get swept up in a fantastical adventure.

Another email from a streaming service (this time Hulu) saying “circumstances may require that certain titles and types of content include ads, even in our 'no ads' or 'ad free' subscription tiers”. Welp. I just gave myself permission to buy a bunch more DVDs.

Right now, as this moment in Yasmin Williams' brilliant career, was the right time to bring her in for a Tiny Desk. She's one of the most inventive guitarists working, writing and dreaming... and she brought a dang 10-foot marimba to our office. www.npr.org/2025/02/07/g...

“You couldn’t make <movie/tv/album> today” is always wrong. “They don’t make good <genre> anymore” is always wrong. Right? Ah, who cares

The word “aesthetic” without a qualifier is so very wrong and ridiculous, but in 2025 I’m working to not get furious about these types of things. Fine. The room is aesthetic. Good. That carpet is aesthetic. Great.

The new Dune movies are good and I’m sure the show is fine, but David Lynch’s Dune has been blowing my freaking mind for my entire freaking liiiiiiiiiife.

It’s like the middle of the day and I texted him a really funny video I saw. I gotta Notify Anyway, right?

My mundane superpower is that I always hear the *ding* from a restaurant kitchen for my food. I know when it’s my ding. I never miss. Given the choice, sure, I’d have gone for flight or time travel or telekinesis, but our powers are our gifts, and we should use them to help the world.

If I ran Roku, my first act of business would be to make the moon over Roku City line up with the current IRL phase. Then I’d force the in-city billboards to align with the color scheme. Then I’d sell the tv and movie rights. Then I’d make it so you could watch any show in a Roku City color scheme.
