I want it on the record that it is VERY VERY HARD right now for me not to post my reversed-and-contrast-enhanced version of the photo of Sinéad’s notebook that was shared on the patrons-only twitter yesterday.
This is me being good. Incredibly nerdishly embarrassingly unable to restrain myself, yet doing so.
I really want my joke from the livestream chat (re: hamstrings) to turn out to be accurate. And there is at least one other piece of evidence I can think of that tends in that direction. But I can’t see how that matches up with “spooky forest”, which at this point has to be considered a rock-solid clue about the next project.
We are so excited to announce that the project we made for Buffer Festival this year, A Book By Its Cover, will be premiering on our channel in one week!
Booop
For some reason I formed the vague notion that Little VVomen was the Buffer thing. I think because it seemed tonally different than most previous Shipwrecked stuff, so maybe my brain filed it away in that particular dusty corner. (Of my brain. My brain has dusty corners.)
But I’d heard the title “A Book by it’s Cover” already, so my wacky mistaken belief can only be explained by me being a Bad Fan who hasn’t been obsessing as thoroughly as the wonderful creators of Shipwrecked deserve.
Anyways, looking forward to seeing this, and seeing how it departs from what hitherto has been Shipwrecked-Style Content™️.
Change is good. Hard to embrace that particular philosophy in these particular days with all the doses of double-plus-not-good change we’ve been getting, but it remains an irrefutable fact: Change is good.
1) you’re interviewing them as much as they are interviewing you! Treat it as though you’re figuring out if YOU really want this job.
2) Pretend you are a secret agent and your interviewer is your target and if you lose your cool, the mission will be a bust. You can’t let down your very scary boss at HQ.
3) Don’t worry. Cuz when you worry you suffer twice. -Newt Scamander.
I never do this, and I feel weird for doing it now, but I have a job interview tomorrow and I’m hella nervous, and I just wanted to know if any of the core four had any advice for me for nerves?
Announcing the Summer of Shipwrecked August challenge! This month we have a prompt every day and we want to see your answers. Participate on whatever social media you choose, just use #summerofshipwrecked so we can see what you say! Today we wanna know: how did you find us? Looking forward to doing this challenge with you!
I answered first over on the hellsite, which is a sad commentary on where I’m spending most of my social-media time these days.
But it’s way more on-brand to answer here. I learned about Shipwrecked from @clavisa, of course, when she lit the raven signal on October 24, 2013.
Hard for me not to love seeing this moment gif’d. But it’s not just the awesome “lie” content. It’s Annabel’s dawning-realization face in the last gif.
To celebrate MK’s birthday, we finally did a trip we’ve been wanting to do for a long time: Winchester and Wine! We drove up to Napa for some wine tasting, and on the way stopped by the Winchester House in San Jose to fulfill a lifelong dream for Sinéad. All of California was so green and beautiful due to the unusual amount of rain we’ve been getting lately. It was a great trip and we wish we could have stayed longer! Guess we’ll have to plan another excursion up north again soon.
