How like Tom Baker to be so theatrical even in just how he sits.

Legend.

And then decided to WRITE A SONG about her instead of actually helping her.

Please Don’t Idolize Me (or Anyone, Really) In the wake of the various recent allegations involving Neil Gaiman, people have been both very sad that someone who they looked up to as an inspiration has, allegedly, turned out to be something l…

I wanted to alt text the photo, but….HOW??

Thank you for this!

(Well, not the clever person who came up with the summary. I hope they’re here too)

That’s me!

That makes sense. I’m going to engage more either way because the content quality is just so much better!

I guess I’m just a bit sore because nobody has even seen my post from yesterday in which I excoriate Laurie Burton. I crossposted from the other site via threadreader. Perhaps I should just reconstruct the post here.

That makes sense.

Pete is correct, as he usually is.

Hello! Miss my old stomping grounds of Boston. But loving your content.

Fun fact: If someone quotes a post of yours in a way that is unwelcome (as is commonplace on Twitter/X) there is a tool to combat the unwanted attention.

Okay, I’m going to write about my theory that Elon Musk is actually a doomsday evangelical but of the science variety.
I listened to his first Spaces call with Donald trump, and Elon flat out denied the dangers of carbon accumulating in the atmosphere. He said we have 100 years. 1/

Hello there!

Ok. Really need to start engaging here. Feel free to point me to the all of the good accounts- solidarity, arts, progressivism, feminism, anti-racism, music, theatre.

Here begins the experiment to bring my best self to social media.
