Blessed are the frogs, for they keep making authoritarians look incredibly stupid

Three persons in inflatable frog costumes. One of them is holding a nicely painted sign with two little cartoon frogs holding hands, below the text "FROGS TOGETHER STRONG"

Today in @plusoneexp.bsky.social logistics, we find a lost-looking UPS dude wandering the halls of our shared warehouse. He says he was sent for a pickup.

We point to the 7 pallets and two rolling bins of packages and point him to a pallet jack.

He takes one pallet, puts it back, leaves.

as a gift for The CryptID Show reaching its goal, please enjoy this photo of me circa 2006. our town was the home of a cryptid called the hodag, and whenever there was a sporting event it was my job to put on costume from 1979 that people both pissed and smoked cigarettes in, possibly concurrently!

i would do the worm in it, but i was not an athletic kid, so it was just me doing an uncoordinated push up, legs akimbo, then smashing my face into the front of the costume. i left my literal blood, sweat, and tears in that thing

point being, backing my game would mean a lot to me, even if it will never get the memory of the smell of that thing out of my mind

Since taking over as host, I IMMEDIATELY started mythologizing the One Shot Studio

Each recording, during intros, guests riff with me about what the studio is like. EVERYTHING becomes canon.

As we upload episodes to YouTube, @cowboypunkcolt.bsky.social has brought TONS of these anomalies to life

Making a remotely recorded podcast means that unfortunately you don't get to have a real studio BUT you get to have an imaginary one and that's cooler.

We have:

toxic tentacle boyfriends
rambunctious saplings
a toad bathroom attendant
a snake butler
and more, now caught on camera

I had a kernel idea a while ago that @carrion-comfort.com is taking on & elevating tremendously

They just brought @danielharila.bsky.social on to do the art for what I hope will be a tool that makes one of my favorite narrative procedures a standard of play for your table.
