Updates about what's been happening in Chicago can be found mostly on Threads. If you have an account there look for independent news spots like Block Club Chicago, The Tribe, Chicago Reader, & WBEZ.

I'm told that nearly none of my friends or family outside of the city knows what's going on. Scary.

A neat little thing I did! Preorder Courtney’s book and get a bonus audio cutscene!

I just sent this off to the sound designer, and it's going to be amazing. Want to listen? Preorder HIGHER MAGIC & fill out this form: forms.fillout.com/t/j9PRD7TsMsus.

You'll also get a copy of Bartleby's class syllabus, which includes some fun world building easter eggs!

not to make this all about my own interests, but we NEED more people to discover audio dramas

not only do they rule, but they're probably one of the few entertainment mediums left that aren't mostly controlled by massive companies vulnerable to corruption/pressure

the most successful ADs are indie

I have no desire to go to Lollapalooza again, but this city absolutely needs a Brigadoon-esque appearance from the MERL. Or at least I do.

The Museum of English Rural Life (MERL) @themerl.bsky.social · Aug 21

we don't anticipate this recurring any time soon unless we're able to expedite our Howl's Moving Castle aspirations and yeet ourselves to Lollapalooza or something

All fans of Bram Stoker's gothic novel "Dracula" know that part of the story is set in the Yorkshire seaside town of Whitby. But how many have actually been there?

I mean, I was reading Flowers in the Attic when I was younger than Catherine so this tracks (I also just read Northanger for the first time - must be the summer for it)

Billy Joel was the soundtrack to three consecutive summers driving to and from rehearsals/performances with friends. I still have a soft spot for the boy who would play his songs on the piano at cast parties. I definitely knew I needed this doc.

“It's a kind of ouroboros of self-sabotage, where the inability to ever be satisfied pushes satisfaction farther and farther away.”
