Never forget that you can listen to baby Diane Keaton in the OBC of Hair, most notably on “Black Boys.” Her voice is pretty unmistakeable.

My thesis is in first draft mode, but I'm 100% at the stage where I can't see what needs to be fixed other than typos and grammatical errors (ugh I'm sure there are still so many in there).

Anyone wanna read it and gimme notes? 😃💐🌷

I genuinely am so glad they lowered the key for Golden for Huntrix’s recent live performances. Just a step is still extremely impressive (G5 instead of A5 is FINE), and like, let’s preserve EJAE’s voice cuz she’s gonna be singing it live a LOT more methinks.

I would like to thank @filmbrainbmb.bsky.social for editing in the blurb about Finn. He was in my theatre circle of friends when this came out, and considering most of us knew him as a Juilliard-bound Shakespeare guy, he was given endless (good-natured) shit about this movie. 😉

The thumbnail for our review of Halloweentown High. The cast poses in the background. I lean to the side with a smile and Phelan holds up some nunchaku. We're dressed as Alan Grant and Ellie Sattler in Jurassic Park. The text reads "NORMAL KIDS IN HIGH SCHOOL"

I went to a big event last week that had very clear social media embargo stuff attached, so I was not gonna post about it till I’m allowed.

But then today I see a pretty big influencer posting pretty openly about it!! So… gah. I don’t know what to do cuz I wanna tell y’all about it. 😂
