August has been a WILD month. I just had a wisdom tooth extracted unexpectedly. What's the most out-of-the-ordinary thing that happened to you this month?

The #DVpit Discord has surpassed 1,000 Members! And still counting! 32 agents 23 editors 962 creators

Hello Bluesky! We’re here!

Does anyone have recommendations for a non-gaming headset to use for calls that works well?

Friends in SoCal: Being prepared does not mean you're paranoid or panicking. Bring your patio stuff inside. Charge electronics & keep them charged. Pack emergency supplies now in case you need to get out. Create a plan for pets. Do not drive through flooded areas. Godspeed.

Is there anything better than positive news from a client on a Monday morning? 😻

*insert relevant GIF here*

I look at containers. I freaking love containers.

Please. 😭

Seriously.

I love that for her.

Yay! We found each other! 😻
