Season 2 of Disney Junior's Ariel has premiered, along with my first credit as Associate Writer!

It's only airing on cable at the moment, hopefully it will be on Disney+ soon! We worked so hard on this season and had so much fun crafting it, so please go give the show some love! 🐠 🦀 🐟

I’m getting so sick of fake interviews from MLMs. Just got my third call about a job I “applied for” wanting to schedule an interview. I’ve applied for so many jobs at this point, I can’t keep track of what I have and haven’t applied for. And they’re trying to take advantage of that. Shameful.

Hey all! It's been 7 months since my last studio gig, and I'm still on the hunt! My unemployment ran out last week, so I could really use some income. I know things are about to move to a snails pace in the industry with the holidays, but I'm not slowing down!

It’s so fucking cruel that food stamps won’t be issued for Thanksgiving. Think how many families won’t get to have a meal this year.

Guess I’m not getting food stamps next month. Fuck Donald Trump.

Found an old email account I haven't used in a decade, and there's a single email from an unknown user with a text file that says... this. I'm unnerved and intrigued.

“Oh my god, ewww, you actually want this job? Why are you so obsessed with me, get a life lmao”

- the email response my brain expects from following up with a recruiter after a normal amount of time

Just walked into a bar in Florida, paid to have the Monster Mash play on the jukebox, and sat in the corner waiting. Let’s see how this goes

Saw this dystopian display at LA Comic con this past weekend.

A digital necromancy AI of Stan Lee that you have to pay money to have a completely soulless conversation with. What the hell are we even doing here.

I don’t think there’s a situation where kettle cooked potato chips aren’t just inherently superior to original chips in every way. Like they’re just objectively better.

Applying for a job on LinkedIn and then seeing the 600 other unemployed people in my industry all comment that they applied sure is a feeling. Not in a "oh no, competition" kind of way, but more so just a "yep... we're all in the same spot, huh" way.
