"Let me put down my shield and reveal my truth before we dive into today's Brené Brown lunch-and-learn. By the end of this presentation, I will fire twelve of you."

“I’m proud of you. You are okay. You will be okay. I’ll be okay, too, because I still have a job.”
Wise words from @pattyterhune (and Brené Brown) in @mcsweeneys. So funny.

Been doing this fun thing where I recreate famous works of art but in corporate art style. I hate it and I love it, does that make sense?

Thank you chef @originalspinstr for writing about the Chopped birthday potluck that @michellegolonk threw me! It made me feel like Iron Chef @guarnaschelli which is all I've ever wanted

My pilot, THE NEST, just nabbed an overall score of 8 (dialogue nabbed a 9!) on @theblcklst. Less than 5% of scripts do that! Damn!
This is pretty thrilling, since I've spent the past two years obsessing over this project. Would be gagged to bring more of it to life 🌸💐✨🌻🌱
