So I just got a text, asking how my digital sabbath is going.

Let’s stop pretending there are different jobs. There’s only one job and it’s emails.

@DreamHostCare Hi - I understand I'm being a squeaky wheel. I haven't heard from anyone yet, and need to ask that I receive a phone call, rather than an email (since I'm locked out.) Thanks.

@DreamHostCare Hi - None of my business's account passwords, nor the "forgot your password" sequence, seem to be working. Any ideas? Just us? This feels isolated to today, we were operating smoothly yesterday.

[MJ writes stuff @MJHalberstadt]

@DreamHostCare Hi - I've done this, but haven't heard back and my business is growing increasingly confused and concerned. I have spent several hours trying to recover our access, to no avail. May I please speak with a human on the phone?

@EthaanJack Thanks, yeah, we're in the middle of migrating to a new host... so this is especially frustrating...

It is HARD to make a syllabus, but that's because the work is ACTIVE AND ONGOING.

[MJ writes stuff @MJHalberstadt]

I don't know what worries me more: “I don’t believe that Black culture is only representable by a Black author” or "my first priority in devising a syllabus is not representation of minority cultures" (for a course ABOUT queer narratives).

Ummmmm please read my professors email

[Todd Spence @Todd_Spence]

THIS. IS. PERFECT.

Hi, ER Doc here.

If you think wearing a piece of cloth makes it “hard to breathe”, then trust me you do NOT want COVID-19.

I “attended” @hamletmobile ‘s unforgettable immersive play “Red Flags”. I could not give “Emma” a curtain call, so I need to give her a shoutout this way. In this play, I had a virtual “date” with Emma, and was… https://t.co/RgnkjF0H7D

@NSOrvis My play Deal Me Out is about a board game group— not TTRPGs, but definitely serious gaming culture (and much hullabaloo about rules ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)

[Sarah Adams @SarahJoyAdams]

My 8yo is in an ER bed right now. He’s scared and ALONE without his mom. Not even allowed his 🧸 because of #COVIDー19

And you’re mad because you can’t go to the beach?!

@damnparka Have a blast! You’ve got this!

I’d like a breakdown and analysis of the books on Patti LuPone and Nathan Lane’s shelves and why isn’t Jake Gyllenhaal’s room nicer, does he need somewhere to stay?

I want a website that matchmakes #playwrights who can unscramble each other's stream-of-consciousness drivel into coherent monologues. Friends, I just wrote one and it contains no less than 8 semicolons, this is worse than my hair rn and I haven't seen Leroy since early January.
