I clearly don't know how to use Bluesky (hah). I think I know who you're seeking. I'll reply to you privately if I can figure out how to do that on this platform.

Dean Haspiel @deanhaspiel.bsky.social · 21d

I've been fascinated by the story of Ed Gein and everything that spawned from his ghastly tale since I first learned about him in high school. Looking forward to this show.

Sorry, man. America has become exponentially expensive. Untenable for most human beings. Rich x Poor. At least we still have stoops to sit on and commiserate before the government gets wind and taxes us for that, too. They got us on water. Oxygen is next.

Boo!
