Perform empathy. Please. Perform the fuck out of it. It's so good to act with kindness. I hope it penetrates to a place where you feel it, too, but if you must act some way, act the right way. I'm not here to judge your authenticity, I just want you to be kind, thoughtful, and mortified by meanness.

THATS A WRAP ON CAST FOR ARTICLE #2
Onwards into post production world before we release this chaos once more upon the world.
This one was such a different beast and still so much fun at the table. We hope you enjoy it as much as Article #1.
