It wasn't all intense action and big choices in our penultimate episode of season 3 of @2dollarcreature.bsky.social...

Sometimes little aliens have problems with big steps, ok?

Glimpses of me shenanigans from the 2025 @anomalyfilmfest.com, including...

* my floor-based intro to BY DESIGN
* Q&A after the @adamsfamfilms.bsky.social's MOTHER OF FLIES w/ Zelda Adams (chair-based)
* me on the @drydentheatre.bsky.social's curtains
* vowing to free the Many-Eyed Potato
Me laying on the floor of the Little Theatre's stage, behind a chair. Two figures in director-style chairs on the stage of the Little Theatre. A slide featuring a portrait of me projected onto the rising gold curtain of the Dryden Theatre. The Many-Eyed Potato behind the glass of a coin-operated fortune machine, with one human hand reaching out to to touch the barrier. A sign that read "Gaze upon the potato" is attached to the bottom of the glass.

My illustration/design for the 2025 @anomalyfilmfest.com tee, finally revealed!

I couldn't resist the siren's call of the Baba Yaga hut.

#AnomalyFilmFest2025
White design on a purple background. The word "Anomaly" surrounded by folk art style flowers, leaves, and eyes. A Baba Yaga hut stands on top of the text, taking a step forward, with an open eye near its roof.

My first intro for this year's @anomalyfilmfest.com in the can.

It made sense in context.

Maybe.

Had an adventure and went to a screening of Shaye Saint John: The Triggers Compilation last night.

There is something special about watching just the weirdest, most surreal, brain fizzling shit... collectively.

It's... sacred?
