Horror podcast voice acting opportunity! Canadians preferred due to Toronto Arts Council funding, but any VA can apply. 📢 Looking for a Spanish speaking/accented voice actor with a lower register voice for Dominus, a Catholic Horror Podcast! 📢 More details below🧵

Maybe the fanciest medieval eel recipe was the French "reversed eel." How do you make it? Well... First, you skin & debone the eel. Then, sew it back together inside out, stuffed with bread crumbs, meats & spices. Then, cook it in red wine. Kind of a super-fancy eel hot pocket! 🗃️🧪

Meme. Photograph of two eels, out of the water, sitting side by side on the grass. They are silvery looking on the top, but you can see that their undersides are white. They are shiny, & look exactly as slippery as you would imagine. The one on the left is longer. He is looking towards his right, though his eye is fixed on the future. The shorter eel on the right is looking more straight ahead. It's mouth is open in a look of abject surprise.

I'd like you to imagine that these two eels don't know each other, but they are waiting for the same bus. They are both on their way downtown, to interview for the same job at a major marketing firm. Neither knows this about the other, and they are caught up in their own worries. The eel on the left has been unemployed for 8 months, & worries that this is its last shot. The eel on the right just realized that it left its resume on the dining room table. Neither will get the job.

Meme text reads:
"But we're already stuffed with eel!"

WE HAVE AVOCET NEWS!!! An Avocet spotted at RSPB Middleton Lakes has been confirmed as the oldest ever recorded in the UK. At 36 years old, it's lived more than five times longer than the species' average lifespan. First ringed in 1990, it's still out there doing Avocet things. Go on Avocet. 😍

An Avocet strides across the edge of a wetland, one leg lifted mid-step as if caught in an elegant strut. Its striking black-and-white plumage and long upturned bill stand out against a softly blurred backdrop of green reeds.

I'm looking to speak to folks who have worked as contractors via agencies or other third-parties, who have lost work recently as a part of restructurings/larger layoffs at companies like Xbox, Epic, Ubi, etc. Want to know about the larger, uncounted cost of these things. Email and Signal are in bio.

Sometimes you can just tell from the outside which pubs are going to be full of tales of Stay Belows, full of stories about the Empress Eel sightings. I think it is one of accidental the skills you acquire as a folklorist in Hookland. – Dr. M. Benn, 1982

The problem with a TV show where the villains are either from Liverpool or Kurdish is that I trust Scousers and Kurds 500% more than I trust southerners and therefore find myself rooting for the heroin dealers...

I need to find a way to summarise the fact that I will never care about AI slop even if it’s “good” because the core thing I enjoy and the thing that most interests me about any piece of art is that it was made by a human being who put effort and intention into communicating something to me.

This is a shot in the dark but I'm in search of a black (bonus points if woman, nonbinary, or femme) coach that specializes in interactive, mainly grounded performance but can also be well rounded. That's a lot, I know.
