I did something today that I knew would not be easy for me but had to do it for the sake of my mental health because I know I deserve better (though I sometimes don’t feel like it).
Feeling a weird mix of sadness/grief but also relief and being proud of myself for making this step.

Between some personal things and everything in the news, my mental health has not been great this week.
I started a tracker to help people monitor company policy changes that may not align with their values (and those that do!): docs.google.com/spreadsheets...
Improv. It’s a lawless jungle of chaos, a mind-bending trip where the rules dissolve like acid on your tongue. One minute you’re a lumberjack in space, the next a platypus driving a taxi. No script, no plan, just the raw, unfiltered madness of human instinct. God help us all. #ImprovIsLife
Is it weird to have both a Wordpress and a Substack at the same time?
Sometimes I ask myself: What do I wanna say to 10k people.
Today, I want to remind everyone to make your hobby spaces not just tolerant, but welcoming of differences. You never know who needs a community.
Nor am I!
It’s not healthy to keep your emotions bottled up, so please join me for a good scream and let it all out!
Unfortunately, I am somewhat tightly budgeted so yearly hosting is not an option for me right now.
Any ideas on how I can build my own website low cost to free?
But seriously though, this is something I have wondered since my 2025 word is community…
How on earth do you build and maintain community (both online and IRL) with everything going on rn?
Trying so hard to not feel hopeless…
I use Discord for improv, poker and content creator stuff mainly. It’s been okay so far but I think some people are still having trouble figuring it out.
Yeah, my word for 2025 is community and it’s like how do I build and maintain community in the midst of all of this? It makes me really sad.
Really hoping there will be a better alternative to FB one day. Main reasons I use social media is to stay in touch with people and find out about locals groups and events happening locally.
Thank goodness I have improv class tonight bc I just really want to get my mind off of today. 😔😢
We had to get in on the video action too — Bluesky now has custom feeds for video!
Like any other feed, you can choose to pin these or not. Bluesky is yours to customize.
Y’all, I love Birmingham’s improv community and I am so glad I re-entered improv. It is filled with some of the kindest, most genuine, supportive, and talented people you will ever meet. It truly is a gem and it is one of the circles I feel the most myself in.

Hey Bluesky! I’m Rachel. I’m an actor and also have been taking improv classes and want to get more into improv & sketch comedy. I also like writing, playing poker, pop culture, fashion, beauty, nonalcoholic mixology, and arts & crafts. Also want to get more into baking whenever I have the time. 🦋💕
Let me say something that is controversial because our brains are broken:
Vaccines are a miracle and amazing
Why is Bluesky telling me my handle is invalid?
Yep. Sums it up perfectly.
