Josh Ruben is one of the best people on the planet. No one deserves to lose their dream home, but people as kind and genuine as Josh and Lauren especially don't deserve this.

Donating to a Josh Ruben GFM? NO PROBLEM.

The GoFundMe for beloved #CriticalRole producer Kyle Shire is live. Please donate if you can and share it around.

Kyle is one of the sweetest, most genuine people I know. Working with him is one of my favorite things about my job. He’s the best egg.

Have been on Bluesky quite a bit the last two days (for info & resources) & it’s not social media that’s broken. I think it’s us that’s broken now. I’ll post about places ppl can donate because LA is in bad shape & my replies are full of “ummmm sounds like somebody’s never heard of Pompeii.”
