Thank you!

(It certainly appears so! Jack's now my third wolf character, after these two bozos. Let's keep the trend going strong!)

Finally, extra big thanks to the man who has masterfully brought Jack to life for over five years & counting with his amazing performance, Taito Ban. Of all the clips I've seen of Jack since, he makes Jack gruff, stoic, and so effortlessly endearing.

We all hope that you guys enjoy the show!

I've been told that often over the years as well, especially once I started working in broadcast. Far as I can tell, lacking any headshot hasn't had any material impact. I'm not an especially well known VO actors, but even still, it's often the project itself that does the heavy lifting in promos.

It legitimately warms my heart to hear that, I appreciate that immensely. I’m very glad that they don’t feel weird or at all bad about keeping to themselves either. After all, we all get to decide how much of ourselves we’re comfortable sharing with the internet. No shame or guilt in any of it.

In fairness, every time I look in the mirror, the Cronenberg Nutcracker is all I see anymore as well.

I've been getting asked more frequently why I don't pictures or clips of myself online. Part of it's because I value privacy & anonymity. I'm also a remote VO actor with no interest in cons, streaming or PCAP. Therefore, I've never felt the need to share more of myself than I absolutely need to.

Call the troops and order them to protect your citizens against these fascists. I know that federal law supersedes state law, but this regime is lawless. Enough telling us that the emperor has no clothes. Show the world how naked he is by truly defying him. It’s dangerous but it has to be done.

Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov · 10d

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

This isn't a "kids these days" thing, but I *hate* the phrase "we're so cooked" that permeates across the internet. Nihilism is what the bad guys want because those who are jaded eventually disengage, which is when things get so much worse.

Defeatism is useless & people need to stop embracing it.

Modern day conservatism is a genuine mental illness.

For millions of people to be *this* deluded, or to be so consistently belligerent & violent is not normal. Nor is it something that we should all just "agree to disagree" with.

(Yes, I did just google why everyone was making rapture jokes...)

"I've never even heard of Adolf Hitler. I know he said a lot of things, and, you know, people say, everybody says, he said a lot of things. Some bad things. Maybe not everyone thought everything was bad, but he did some bad things. The Allies did some bad things too. Some good, but some bad..."

Migrants. The trans community. Historians. Teachers. Comedians. Unions. Doctors. Equal opportunity employers. Artists. Musicians. Actors. Scientists. Etc.

Think of all the groups that republicans tell you are the problem.

Now, ask yourself how long before *you* become the problem.

These miserable dipshits think they're silencing dissent. Has anyone suddenly become nicer to the cult of MAGA or the braindead "orange" felon that they worship? All the firing of Kimmel proves is that every studio exec is a spineless, soulless rat.

I'm fairly certain we could'e all gleamed that.

My sincerest condolences, Samantha. Wishing you guys nothing but love & strength.

So, Jimmy Kimmel correctly calling the little freak who killed that vile hate monger a gun-loving MAGA nut was enough to get his show canceled.

But Faux “News” hosts can freely call for the mass murder of the unhoused & call the left the biggest threat to the nation and face repercussions.

Cool.

“It is only after one is in trouble that one realizes how little sympathy and kindness there are in the world.”

If you truly wish to see a better world, elevate those who understand the truth of this quote & live it. Who choose kindness & compassion over political ambition or brownie points.

On June 24, I began my Election Night speech by quoting Mandela: “It always seems impossible until it’s done.” That's the spirit of this campaign, and our city.

This is "Until It’s Done,” a new series about New Yorkers who refused to accept that a worthy goal was impossible.

There are a LOT of great trans VA's.

Not just the usual suspects either--I got to hear from lesser known talents thanks to resources like @queervox.org & (praise helix) word of mouth reaching far enough for them to read for me.

I'm more than happy to refer them to my peers. /cont'd

Unidentified shooter kills right wing propagandist dirtbag who helped foster violent political climate.

Republicans: KILL ALL LIBS!!!!!!!!!

Shooter turns out to be one of their own.

Republicans: Now’s not the time for anger, you guys…

Media: Can both sides finally cool the temperature?
