This is dedicated to Vivien – my dorky best friend with who I’ve shared a lot of tears and laughs over the last 9 months. It’s been unbelievable, everything we both went though.
Thank you for all the shared jokes, long chatlogs and friendly jabs. Thank you for saying “I understand” when everyone else said “cheer up”. Thank you for allowing me to experience what being an older sister is like and for all the promises we’ve made. You’re one and only person I ever opened up to like this.
Happy birthday dear! <3

I am following 100 other artists and I want to do the things they do, but they are 100 people and I am 1 and that’s why I feel like I’m only ever getting 1% of what I want to do done. I need to remember that I’m not 100 people and never will be. No wonder I burn myself out so bad. I’m not even comparing myself to another artist’s work, I’m comparing myself to 100 at the same time.
And I know I’m not the only one who does this. We all gotta slow down and do our thing and realize our human limitations.
For now.
But as soon as I can transfer my consciousness into a robot, I’m taking it.

You are waiting for a musical. A musical that will spoof the far, far most successful film Christopher Nolan ever made that didn’t involve bats. You know where you can hear this musical, but you can’t be sure of the lyrics. But it doesn’t matter, because we’re all just having a good time together, and thought that you might want to share it.
Treble Entendre presents, Inception, an original musical by Erica Kudisch. Dom Cobb and his Dream Team may be the best in the business, but when they try to extract from the mind of a famous composer/lyricist, well… they really should’ve known what would happen. Featuring Way Station favorites Antonella Inserra and Hilary Thomas as Eames and Arthur, with Joy Seldin, Kofi Mills, Marshall Honorof, Abigail Unger, Erica Kudisch, Rebecca Rozakis, and introducing Mr. Charles Rozakis as Dom. The show will be performed in concert with a ten-minute intermission, and some apologies to Joss Whedon.
Sunday, September 29th. 2:00 pm. The Way Station.
BWONG.
FYI, I’m playing Eames, so you should come. :D
MY KINGDOM FOR A FLIGHT TO BROOKLYN

I said I wouldn’t do any Night Vale fanart. Let’s be honest, we all knew that was a big fat ol’ lie. It’s been so long since I drew anything I felt proud of — hey, I’ll take it.
I love every interpretation of our host Cecil Baldwin and the other Night Vale regulars that I’ve seen so far, and more than that, I love that the invitation to interpret is totally open. I love that they’re all a little (or wildly) different. I love that, with no prompting, the fandom has given Cecil a third eye and sentient tattoos. I love how unapologetically weird the whole thing is.
I saw someone’s fancast for Cecil was Danny Pudi, and it felt so right. What’s he drinking? You know it ain’t coffee.
I didn’t watermark this, so please be cool and don’t post this without credit. I appreciate it!
Danny Pudi as Cecil would be amazing. Sheesh.
I love this because his body language and facial expression totally match the serenity with which Cecil delivers the news every episode.

So dapper.
5 Rules of Anti-Racism Work
1-Do not separate yourself from the herd. Don’t be the exception to your own rule. If you’re white and you make statements about white people, make sure you fully understand that you are not the exception to your statement. If you believe that all white people are racist, it’s not all white people-except for you. If you believe it, believe it for yourself as well.
2-Don’t feel obligated to teach the unteachable. Failure isn’t choosing not to sit and give your time, attention, emotion and ability to a racist. Contrary to what every after school special tells you, not everyone is racist by accident. Some people want to believe what they believe. Stop giving racists things that should be reserved for people who want to be better.
3-Know the difference. One of the biggest and important realizations you’ll come to is figuring out who is worth your time and who isn’t. This is often wrongfully attributed to those who “Agree” with you. It’s not about agreement, it’s about discourse. Those who search for ammunition in your words but never quite here you talking, are not worth your time. Discerning between the two will lift an enormous burden from your shoulders. In either case, it’s always important to let people know where you stand. Always speak up when you see/hear something racist but know who is worth more than your stand.
4-When in doubt, stay out. While you should always let people know where you stand [Read: Call out racist things you see] the level of discourse you engage in needs to be your level, whatever that level may be. If you know something is wrong but can’t quite put into words why, say you don’t approve/are not okay with what’s being said but leave it at that. Don’t give wrong information or information you aren’t 100% sure of. In a rare instance when giving information you aren’t 100% sure of, make it clear that you aren’t sure. Beware: if you say this in front of someone who’s racist they’ll likely use it against you.
5-Know you first. You can talk about, work toward and be a part of anti-racist work while you, yourself are learning. However, you should be very aware that you are in fact, learning. Don’t play the professor of a class you haven’t yet passed.
