Connecting Artisans to their Audiences in a Safe, Self-Controlled Environment - 23rd Legion - Forms
The Forms arm of 23rd Legion was born out of a necessity for safety and control in the data gathering process sorely needed by today's Creatives who may not have the best options to protect themselves...
forms.23rdlegion.com
A couple of years ago I learned of a Creative on Twitter who was being harassed via their google request form: which has no IP tracking on submissions, so there is no mechanism to report abuse. In response, I created forms.23rdlegion.com as free alternative resource.
Oddly enough, I’ve been a Deadhead for most of my life. Losing Bobby hits as hard for me as losing Jerry. Luckily, I didn’t go quite as nuts as I did in ‘95, but, man I’m going to miss him. Ripple forever.

I thought I understood chaos, but that was before watching a video of someone ordering mac & cheese with a chicken fried steak. This chaos goblin salutes you, sir.

I'm really trying to wrap my head around the strange fascination the City of Dallas has with Atlético Dallas. Deal after deal is awarded to this non-existent squad, and it just doesn't make any sense to me.

Had to tell a dear friend “you giving me the gas face.” while playing a board game, and then spent the next 20 minutes explaining “Gas Face” to a bunch of Millennials.

Congrats to Wrexham for squeaking by Nottingham Forest in today's FA Cup match. That was so incredibly tight.

For the past ten years I've had two flat file cabinets to "organize" the decals I cut and various other projects. This morning, because I woke up hella early, I decided to organize those. Three hours later and I wish I'd just stayed in bed. One down, one to go.

It’s January 8 in Dallas, TX, and I just got eaten up by mosquitoes taking the trash out to the bin. I never thought I’d wish for a freeze.

I just found out that Brandon Mull’s Fablehaven is in process of being made into a movie, and I’m so damn happy. This is a series I tell every parent their kids should read

For a few years I’ve used Ted Lasso as spot therapy. Now I’m just watching the last episode of Stranger Things over and over.

This is a very sad day for Public Media.
CPB will dissolve following unanimous board vote
CEO Patricia Harrison said CPB is protecting the integrity of the public media system by dissolving “rather than allowing the organization to remain defunded and vulnerable to additional attacks.”

I figured it would have happened yesterday, but Wilfred Nancy has finally been sacked by Celtic. I have mixed feelings over this, but he was, unfortunately, way in over his head.

I realized something this afternoon. Social media has destroyed the grand tradition of the vacation slide show. As a society, I feel like we need that back. Break out the cheeseball and gimlets.
