Just took the most game-changing acting workshop of my career so far. Can not WAIT to dive into my next project!

“Do not let your inability to do everything undermine your ability to do something.”

This right here.
The next steps are clear. We must ask ourselves — what is even one more tangible thing we can be doing?
This will take work, grit, and determination—but this is how change happens.
Don't let your inability to do everything undermine your determination to do something in the cause of our country.

A little while ago I was in Trader Joe’s and the cashier asked me what I do for a living. When I told him that I’m an audiobook narrator, the guy who was bagging looked up and said, “You’re one of the ones who helps the rest of us get through the day!”

Hey, @ifbookspod.bsky.social I don't know if y'all might be of a mind to unlock an old bonus episode or not but this one has been feeling oddly relevant over the past week or so.

I love prep days. My entire work day today consists of curling up in the overstuffed leather armchair in my office and reading a novel.

Really glad to see this guy sticking around- the party could use WAY more of this energy.
This Tim Walz quote from The New Yorker pairs well:

This week both the book I’m reading for work and the book I’m reading for fun are set in WWI and I’m not sure how that happened.

I’m suddenly getting error notices every time I click on a NYT article saying I can’t read it because they suspect I’m a bot. I am, to be clear, not, but it does feel rather like my phone coming up with new and creative ways to keep my worst day-ruining impulses in check.

Feeling a strong need to put the news away for a while and work on an embroidery project with a nice bit of comfort viewing.

Specifically Fall of the House of Usher.

Yeah, pretty clothes and gory rich people deaths sound like just the thing.

In a Joann Fabrics and realizing that this might actually be the last time I shop in one of these. It’s weird.

Really enjoying Apple Cider Vinegar on Netflix, though as a Maintenance Phase fan who counts the Belle Gibson episode among my favorites I do keep hearing @yrfatfriend.bsky.social say "Oh Michael, this is DARK!" every time there's a new plot development. @michaelhobbes.bsky.social

Public comment is now open for passport gender marker changes.

You can go here to go to each of the three proposed passport rules, and submit comment.

My suggestion: be unique, argue for trans-inclusive policies, against the constitutionality of the changes, etc.

I know voting in the SAG awards is FAR from the most important benefit of joining the union, but I gotta say, it's a really fun one.

Hey so this year’s Covid booster is still available, in case anyone’s wondering, and also it’s not the worst idea for adults to check on whether their TDaP is up to date. Not that there would be any particular reason to amp up the urgency on that kind of thing right now.

Been doing some work on branding lately, and I gotta say, learning to see the weirder parts of my personality as assets rather than liabilities has been unbelievably freeing.
