I can't explain exactly why it feels right, but I'd like to suggest we get Audra McDonald and Harvey Fierstein on a cherry picker to pry those fucking letters off while literally every other theatre person joins hands around the building and sings "Blow Gabriel Blow"! #KennedyCenter

I've never understood why "Don't be a d!ck" and "Don't be a pu$$y" are insults. 98% of the world REALLY likes one or both of those things so...

Look, whatever social skills I had were decimated by the pandemic and they’re unlikely to return so…

If you’re expecting me to know the right thing to say or correctly read social cues more than, say 40% of the time, you have come to the WRONG place!

It still counts as Dry January as long as you spoke like Judi Dench for 31 days

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

In A Chorus Line, at the end of "Nothing" when Morales cries after hearing that her old teacher died, do you interpret her last "Cuz I felt nothing" to mean she cried because she didn't care he died or that she cried because she still felt bad about those old exercises? #NecessaryDistraction

Alright, I’m going for “self care” social media and connection. What I think I remember it used to be a loooong time ago. SO, I’m a musician and composer/lyricist mostly in live theatre. I play and have played a lot of Broadway shows and really love quality story-telling in that art form. Hbu? #HBU

The least not-see social media platform. Not exactly a winning ad slogan, but here we are! #bluesky

It is January 11th and all I can handle are videos of pets with babies. That’s all. Nothing else. #SelfCare

I simply can NOT retrain my brain to read "POS" as "point of sale".

It can be true that insurance companies are ghoulish and often run by moral-free assholes who should be stopped from treating humans like garbage AND that a person who guns down someone in the street is horrible and wrong. Both things can be true.

Michael Patrick Walker @realmpw.bsky.social · 09/12/2024

I've found disengaging to be what I need to do for my mental health atm - not from life and everything, but from the shitshow both present and coming. Doesn't mean I don't care - in fact, it means I cared so much it snarled my left shoulder. Random sharing, I know, but that's what this is, right?

Michael Patrick Walker @realmpw.bsky.social · 07/12/2024

I feel this. From both perspectives

I genuinely look forward to the end of the "holding space" era.

Michael Patrick Walker @realmpw.bsky.social · 03/12/2024

Genuine question: what is the path on here to find folks to follow and for engagement both ways? can't seem to figure it out... #LookingForMyPeople

Michael Patrick Walker @realmpw.bsky.social · 03/12/2024

I'm having trouble finding people to find in general, but when all else fails, animals help me, so: bsky.app/profile/shel...

Michael Patrick Walker @realmpw.bsky.social · 02/12/2024

I'm genuinely trying to like it here, but the engagement is bizarre. I can't find accounts I want to follow & likewise, people who might want to follow me can't/aren't. Is the only path for growth to follow hundreds of accounts you DON'T want to follow to gain traction?

Somehow it seems like a revival of the play "Art" would be really appropriate right now...

You're talking to a guy who wrote a parody verse to "Weekend In The Country" about the pollen being really high last Spring so...heard.

Is the search function here not great? I search a very common keyword and get the same 15 accounts and then nothing more

Michael Patrick Walker @realmpw.bsky.social · 21/11/2024

I keep reading how Bluesky is growing like crazy but when I search for people I don’t find many and engagement seems limited. Thoughts?

Michael Patrick Walker @realmpw.bsky.social · 20/11/2024

I'm behind on "The Bear" & just finished S1. Is it just me, or did the ending make NO sense? *SPOILERS* If the money Michael hid in the cans was the money he borrowed, then finding it fixes only 1 thing: they can pay back the loan. It's not a windfall to start a new restaurant so...wtf? #TheBear

Okay so as more people join, a reintroduction: I’m a composer/lyricist, writer and musician working most of my career on (and occasionally off) Broadway. Working and playing in CT and NYC with, currently, less Bluesky engagement than a closeted Mormon with no ring. Say hello!

000

Michael Patrick Walker @realmpw.bsky.social · 18/11/2024

I don't get the drama about blocking or not blocking or explaining why or not. A social media feed is a (weird, dysfunctional, modern) social interaction. By definition, social interactions are CHOSEN. If I don't want to interact with you (ever, at all), blocky-blockington it is! So. Very. Easy.

Trying humor cuz dunno what else to do atm

Michael Patrick Walker @realmpw.bsky.social · 14/11/2024

I’m all for Bluesky being the new place. First step toward that would seem to be not constantly talking about the other place, right?

Anybody else existing in the void somewhere between “must engage like a mf to save the country” and “that’s it, nothing but pics of cute baby animals from now on”?

Trying to find my people on here. Theatre, Musicals, Music, Writing, attempting to salvage waning mental health with no idea how to, cute pets, etc. #Theatre

I am a writer and a maker of music though both are difficult at the moment. Creativity - at least for me - is easily impeded by despair.

Michael Patrick Walker @realmpw.bsky.social · 12/11/2024

Trying this again because whatever it is I and we need now, it sure as shit ain’t over there…who should I follow?

Is this still a thing? I forget if this is still a thing or not.

I dont’t think “Time Machine” is the right name for a system which somehow always begins a 30 minute backup 5 minutes before I need to disconnect my laptop…

Okay, still trying, but losing track of all the possible hellscape alternatives and getting serious "trying to be healthy but also not disappear" fatigue. I'm sure I can't be alone on this...

Michael Patrick Walker @realmpw.bsky.social · 15/02/2024

Is there a setting on here so that replies from people I follow don’t show up separated from the posts to which they’re replying? It’s disorienting…
