I feel like I want the version of Kitchen Table Polyamory that's more like Viking Beer Hall Polyamory (i.e. a big ass community of partners, friends and lovers that are all interconnected, and also happen to drunkenly break into songs about their glorious battles)
Moving most of my online life away from here - discord, the Azure Firmament, tumblr, Facebook for the older crowd. Don't know what the accepted code for the new place is herr, but that's where I am.
Hopefully see you soon!

(Bonus points if they tell me no at all, let alone why… Obviously I'd prefer yes, but I'll settle for a firm no.)
All of which is to say that if you know of friendly talent agencies who have the capacity to take on a nearly 50yo, queer, disabled, British voice actor with no acting quals but plenty of experience and quite a good voice, apparently, I'd be really grateful for the pointers.
(Because it's usually taken a ton of effort to get up the executive function/ imposter syndrome wrangling spoons to do the thing in the first place, by that point I'm fully committed and possibly a bit obliviously pushy.)
In a twist from my neurosiblings, I don't have much in the way of RSD, so rarely take silence for rejection so much as "Oh, I didn't explain myself properly…" so will keep gently pursuing: Hi, I'm still here; you probably forgot to reply… oops?
There's nothing makes me feel more neurodivergent than applying for voice work. In this instance: applying for representation.
I was an early adopter of Twitter (Feb 2007!), and a 2nd wave early adopter of BlueSky, and honestly the latter has been like coming home, not wide-eyed with wonder so much as relieved that it IS possible to have a pleasant, community-spirited micro-blogging platform. Join us!
All this because I successfully used the word "dink" in an anagram game and was curious to see if it thought that meant what I thought that meant… It did not.
Just discovered the extraordinarily specific word dinq, which means "to not make the requisite amount of progress in one's qualifications". Its etymology is the acronym for "delinquent in nuclear qualifications" (thanks, nuclear submarine programmes?).

Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.
