I was laid off from Schell. I think I'm gonna chill for a bit and not get serious about looking for a new job until at least January but if any of y'all have any leads about roles for a senior graphics engineer that are remote or Austin-based I wouldn't mind hearing about 'em

Follow Manuela and watch her videos they are absolute delight, like brighten your day, and they’re also funny.
I bet that famous soprano lady not even 10percent funny. I probably wouldn’t follow her on social media.
She doesn’t seem to spark joy.

i post lots of videos of myself singing opera badly on tiktok. this one earned me a derisive comment from kallen esperian, one of the greatest operatic sopranos of all time. far from being discouraged im incredibly tickled that my bad singing is good enough to earn her sneer

i made an English language adaptation of this duet from the obscure opera Ricciardo e Zoraide by Rossini. You can't tell me fans of musicals wouldn't love opera like this if it was in English and wasn't treated like some super highbrow activity
