Look, whatever social skills I had were decimated by the pandemic and they’re unlikely to return so…

I forget to post here because the world is a dumpster fire and my extinguisher is running on empty

If you’re expecting me to know the right thing to say or correctly read social cues more than, say 40% of the time, you have come to the WRONG place!

It still counts as Dry January as long as you spoke like Judi Dench for 31 days

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

In A Chorus Line, at the end of "Nothing" when Morales cries after hearing that her old teacher died, do you interpret her last "Cuz I felt nothing" to mean she cried because she didn't care he died or that she cried because she still felt bad about those old exercises? #NecessaryDistraction

Alright, I’m going for “self care” social media and connection. What I think I remember it used to be a loooong time ago. SO, I’m a musician and composer/lyricist mostly in live theatre. I play and have played a lot of Broadway shows and really love quality story-telling in that art form. Hbu? #HBU

The least not-see social media platform. Not exactly a winning ad slogan, but here we are! #bluesky

It is January 11th and all I can handle are videos of pets with babies. That’s all. Nothing else. #SelfCare

Never been much of a “gotta stay up ‘til midnight” family so…

I simply can NOT retrain my brain to read "POS" as "point of sale".

Do we now get entertainment at random sportsball game intermissions?

Got the heat pumps hooked up to an app so now I can obsessively check what they’re doing and how much power they’re consuming. #DancingThroughLife

Adulthood: becoming your own “we have food at home” voice.

It can be true that insurance companies are ghoulish and often run by moral-free assholes who should be stopped from treating humans like garbage AND that a person who guns down someone in the street is horrible and wrong. Both things can be true.

I've found disengaging to be what I need to do for my mental health atm - not from life and everything, but from the shitshow both present and coming. Doesn't mean I don't care - in fact, it means I cared so much it snarled my left shoulder. Random sharing, I know, but that's what this is, right?

I feel this. From both perspectives

I genuinely look forward to the end of the "holding space" era.

Michael Patrick Walker @realmpw.bsky.social · Dec 3

Genuine question: what is the path on here to find folks to follow and for engagement both ways? can't seem to figure it out... #LookingForMyPeople

Michael Patrick Walker @realmpw.bsky.social · Dec 3

I'm having trouble finding people to find in general, but when all else fails, animals help me, so: bsky.app/profile/shel...

I'm genuinely trying to like it here, but the engagement is bizarre. I can't find accounts I want to follow & likewise, people who might want to follow me can't/aren't. Is the only path for growth to follow hundreds of accounts you DON'T want to follow to gain traction?
