@ArcaneGryphon Okay this is perfect bc I basically wanted to play as a disillusioned rock star.

A tweet so cryptic, I don't even know remember what I meant when I wrote it.

ICYMI: Our latest two episodes are up! The crew defeated a specter and a giant, undead snake, but Jam couldn't be in a worse mood about it.

[DragonShack @DragonshackBaby]

CORRECTION: Next Episode will be up July 11! Reading calendars is hard y'all.

@KikiAimerito @WizardCollie @Mosesofmind Definitely my favorite.

@DanielHandler Every summer when the temps in LA skyrocket I crave that watermelon gazpacho Jake made in "Shouldn't You Be in School?" Do have a recipe for it that you'd be willing to share?

@beth_sobel Wow!

[Melissa W. Bailey @melissawbailey]

The reason I'm thinking about this, is because people talk about it like it's a thing neurotypical people just do. But I think it's a very learned behavior.

[Melissa W. Bailey @melissawbailey]

I've been forming this thought for awhile and am curious about people's opinions: Is eye contact a performative (not instinctive) gesture used in specific situations to indicate attentiveness (eg. talking to a client, flirting, etc.)?

[Melissa W. Bailey @melissawbailey]

My opinion: Heck, yes. It doesn't come naturally to me, and if I'm holding a conversation with someone, I am 💯 watching their mouth anyway to improve comprehension.
