I AM blocking followers that don't get their profile and post basics sorted because I am *legitimately* not sure if you're a bot/scammer/spammer.

I don't like doing that to actual people though!
Help me help you!
People, I'm begging you.

Filling out your Bluesky bio, choosing an avatar image, and posting a single, short introductory skeet takes FIVE GODDAMN MINUTES.

Do it, so I know you're not a fucking bot, scammer, or spammer.

Thank you so much for a spectacular year. It means so much for you to continue listening to my tunes. I’m completely independent and do just about everything myself, so it means that much more 🖤

Hope you had a very happy holiday, and here’s to a prosperous, positive 2025 🍻

Well… It worked on Twitter in 2019. Let’s see if this works here…

Like if you’re a #voiceactor

Share if you’re a voice actor

Follow if you’re a voice actor looking for casting calls

Cuz NSIP’s on Bluesky now, and we’ve got a lot more in store! New clients, old clients, and internal productions!

Being in the UK, I don't watch #TheGameAwards as they air overnight so I was completely unaware that they do an incredible orchestral medley of the games of the year each year. Go treat yourself by listening to this compilation of all of them. Balatro is still my favourite segment!
