I still need a writer for a Star Wars. It'll give me a good excuse to buy a toy to play with in my living room. I mean... for reference. R E F E R E N C E

It’s not “industry drama” or idle discourse or whatever. It’s genuinely annoying and bad that when any of us get recognition for our work, some of our colleagues are gonna have a little white grievance about it and then think they’re brave and smart for saying it out loud.

Hi! Worth a shot: it's my birthday and I'm pretty close to 4000 followers. I'm a scientist studying how kidney injury in young people affects reproductive health AND their future kids' health, nerdy musician (@pdxbroadsides.bsky.social), MC, and 85% Muppet. Would your friends like me? Tell 'em. ❤️

Quieting my anxiety by shopping for props for the comic I'm writing. Sure, I don't have much of it down yet, and I certainly haven't gotten to the layout stage, but I want to go pew pew and play make believe.

Having a conversation with @mrsbarker.bsky.social and I feel like that Padme neme. "You're gonna start small, right? ... Right?"

Thinking about all of the plantation maps and plantation photography/art I've had to frame over the years. And the reactions when I protested. No particular reason.
