If this wasn't so infuriating, I would laugh- because this is some shit the Bespins would do.

An AI-based private school will open two locations in Boston, including the space once used by one campus of the scandal-plagued Croft School in Jamaica Plain.

Feeling kinda heavy today. Have the day off, was going through do a ton of auditions -- but I think I'm gonna catch up on audiodramas and get a ton of cleaning done. And play my silly little plague doctor mobile game. Hope everything is having a good day!

Just remember…

hey remember when you could own things? remember when paying for stuff meant it was yours forever? we can still have that! support your favorite people who make stuff with sound by buying their stuff on bandcamp!

Ellipsus is definitely the best option I know of for creative writing (and probably writing in general) If anyone is looking for a more comprehensive replacement for Google Drive and all its apps, I recommend Proton.me - Ellipsus is better than Proton Docs, but Proton has the full office suite.

Proton: Privacy by default

Over 100 million people use Proton to stay private and secure online. Get a free Proton account and take back your privacy.

proton.me

So what’s the move after Google Docs? We all going back to hosted FTP or what’s up?

I’m so angry I can’t even decide what swears to type and I hardly ever type in swears.

A couple years ago, this sort of comment would make me really angry. Anymore, I'm just like, cool, thanks. Glad we made you have strong opinions. 😎 I am a little annoyed, Wilder is particularly insufferable, but the comment isn't even on her ep!

That can be arranged.

Pst @greaterpodston.bsky.social - if there is ever any amount of money that we can send you, to get a full version of "Your Truck", please, let us know. That his crept up on me from the intro and now I sing it every time.

Starting Of Mice and Murder, @dimension20.dropout.tv -- and the makeup of this party makes my heart happy. ❤️🤣

Putting out early feelers for casting I'll be doing in Sept/Oct for 4 characters: - Vietnamese, female - East African (other African regions ok but East would be precise), any gender - Irish, male - and the last one's weird but I'd love to hear from streamers who got acting chops

‼️open call for the following‼️: Erica Rita (2) Sandra (2) Mary Jessica Angela Pamela

This is a short story by Ray Bradbury, published in 1950, which takes place today. It’s beautiful, dark, melancholy, surreal.

Trying to figure out some good TikTok type content -- I haven't had a lot of luck before for audiodramas. Kinda want to start doing skits like, that are conversations with my characters? Like people who do conversations between the Eras albums, and such? Anyone else do fun things?

@marvelousmawn.bsky.social oh my God I never changed my display name 🤣 shame on me

That said, if you would like to make gas/groceries a bit easier in the coming week while my partner waits for their new job to kick in: I have some PS4 controllers I just finished refurbishing on eBay :3 www.ebay.com/usr/rivercit... Or you could chip in at $someoneonline on CashApp.

I was literally typing up a post here asking for donations/microloans to make rent and then someone at my bank reversed a shitty charging decision that was tying up just enough money to put us in a bind. There are nice people left in the world 🥲

Some new Ren faire friends have started listening to Waiting For October, and an old co-worker messaged me, excited, they just started listening to Midnight Burger, and were freaking out that I was in it. Weird feeling, but I'm here for it. 💓

If you want to help me celebrate my birthday go listen to @kingmakerpod.bsky.social or @killjamxxx.bsky.social or… any of the other fifty audio dramas I’m in 😆

❤️ good thread

Happy #AudioDramaSunday! I hope everyone’s had a good week! ✨

I promise, I don't have "go to the moon" in my contracts. Or.... Do I? 🤣🤣

Monkeyman Productions@monkeyman.bsky.social · 6d ago

It’s time to announce our first WFO miniseries! Starting Sept. 6th we go “To The Moon” – but maybe not the Moon you’re used to! Featuring Tina Case, Robin Regalado and Cass McPhee, with guests Maddy Searle, Sarah Rhea Werner, Shannon Perry, Jenna Rose and Josh Rubino! Watch for more info soon!

This prompt might be a Game Changer ALL-TIMER 😭

“Do Dead Malls Go To Heaven?” Experimented a bit with a new way of detailing the tiles. Kinda like it? This particular piece took a hell of a lot of work. I’d love if you shared the vibes it’s giving off, for research purposes. (WIP process in comments)

Got so excited. Reordered reusable coffee filters this week when I ran out of filters -- was stoked to have them again-- and I managed to order the wrong kind. 😭

It’s the final day to support our crowdfunding campaign!! I’d love for us to at least end at 10% funded 🙏🏻💜

Fallen Memories@fallenmemoriespod.bsky.social · last wk.

Cancer book fact check flag: "Not sure you can claim that cancer patients pee out molecules from cancer" and I just did the MOST PANICKED LIT REVIEW OF MY LIFE. Anyway, indeed you can claim that cancer patients pee out the molecules from their cancer, thank you to K R Hande et. al.

Anyone???

Real talk: anyone know where I can get a dress like this? Any recommendations for boutique dressmakers who will clothe me in this manner (in which I should already be accustomed)?
