Screenshot of Erika Ishii from a Game Changer trailer, dressed in a bright turquoise Marie Antoinette style wig adorned with a string of pearls and butterflies, while also wearing a black leather, spiked dog collar choker style necklace, a black tank top, and blousy, white oversized cotton top. They have their left-hand up as if to say stop or to fend something off and an irked expression on their face as they gaze off to their right-hand side.

Well, I certainly won't be getting a lot of use out of this screenshot of my beloved munchkin @erikaishii.bsky.social from the new @gamechanger.dropout.tv s8 trailer that just dropped as a reaction image 😂🥰💜

It makes my heart happy to hear that you were so supported this way by the team 🤗💜

My poor cat is so scared of rainstorms of any kind and this one moving through Austin right now is a doozy, huge thunderstorm with good-sized hail coming down in my area, so she is miserable in a ball in the back of my closet 😢😢😢

Might have a contender for a new favorite John Green quote... "having babies should be required of no one, but safe for everyone" cannot believe that 500 babies have already been born at the maternal center for excellence in Sierra Leone, and that Good Store donation amt youtu.be/IppQH8Bd3r8?...

I swear they’re about a third of the size in length of bar and at least half as tall in height as they were when I was in school 😛 2/2

Just purchased two of the “world’s finest chocolate” bars from an entrepreneurial neighbor child who had the gumption to go door to door in our large apartment complex fundraising for school…I’ve seen the kid about so was not worried it was more of a scam than that fundraiser ever is 🤗🤣 1/2

The Malcolm in the Middle cast is full of terrific actors and the show was always very cleverly written, (imo, well-above what they were being paid by their network), so the news the revival was well done and moving is lovely to hear/read 🤗💜

Here’s my spin…the games industry while massive in sales is still quite tight in terms of networking; so the likelihood of someone who worked hard on that title seeing me shitting on their efforts is decently high? I don’t want that, so you’re likely only going to hear about things I enjoy 🤗💜

Well that first episode of the new series of @taskmaster.tv was certainly a hoot…can’t wait for more 🤣🤣🤣👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻✨✨✨💜💜💜

Jake Gyllenhaal and Annaleigh Ashford Sing "Move On" from SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE YouTube video by Broadwaycom

I know the world is a dumpster fire but I stumbled across this video from the Sondheim birthday celebration again, and was just struck by how beautiful Annaleigh Ashford's performance was...over Zoom, no less. 🤗💜 youtu.be/ON5-DLX829M?...

The error/desolated planets without an atmosphere and lacking fauna in no man’s sky do that for me sometimes 🤗💜

When I was at Naughty Dog, @thedmatts.bsky.social did (if I recall correctly), I think at least 6-10 days of reloads & upgrade weapons pcap with the fantastic & very knowledgeable @noshirdalal.bsky.social for The Last of us Part II to help that happen for them, so yes large amount of anims 🤗

My cat was very determined that I be awoken at about 4 AM today, despite my best efforts to return to dreamland, so I eventually begrudgingly arose...turned out it wasn't her breakfast she sought, just company as she was anxious and scared because a thunderstorm is rolling into the area 🥹💜

One of the most exhausting aspects of the 21st century is the need to be constantly checking that every single piece of previously benign and useful technology that you use hasn't started eating you alive.
