if i had two million followers i simply would not repost misinformation blaming people without water or electricity for getting themselves genocided and say “sorry i was high” when i delete it later but maybe that’s just me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
As a suburban teen in Maryland I was deeply online and watched a ton of collegehumor vids and knew the names of all the employees and read their tumblrs and watched their flagpole sitta office lip dub a hundred times and TODAY? I host my own show on

!!!
Happy five years!
I was laid off at collegehumor today along with my talented funny coworkers. It was truly a dream job. ✌️
Anyways, if you wanna hire me: I'm a comedic writer/performer and I'll dye my hair whatever color you need. 👩🎤
Here's all the vids I wrote at CH:

I was doing a club in Austin for no crowd. The director Barbara Kopple was in town shooting a commercial. She was 1 of 12 people there. After, she asked me if I did commercials. said no I can’t promote things I don’t believe in. She said it’s for Sprint. I said I have Sprint.
Annual reminder CA pays prisoners $1/hr to fight our fires but when prisoners are released they can’t vote and their sentence counts against them for potential jobs and housing. Modern day slavery
HAPPENING NOW: Inmate fire crews have arrived to assist in building containment lines around

@ymmayer
truly every white women-run show/movie where the shitty ex has an asian gf now (even fucking fleabag) is so laced with unexamined internalized shit
the moral is don’t trust any online media personalities.
Except me, obviously you can trust me.
When you see me kissing someone other than my husband actually that’s my husband in a wig and foundation
Spending the holidays with my mom- i am a mental fortress. Hollywood cannot break me because i have already fought 34 tours of watching my mom be racist at the mall.
filling out the cutesy survey from our wedding planner and she's asking "what's the happiest moment in [my] life to date?" which I've always said is the abortion I had at 19 and the sense of body autonomy it gave me.....
Should I lie and just say when I got a puppy?
love the trap of ppl building an online presence in hopes it leads to a job, then ending up w 20k followers with none of the job security but all the public accountability
Reminder that even if
@sagaftra
sends you zero emails about the strike authorization you can still go to the site and use your SAG ID to get the code to vote.

On this episode i share the most embarrassing secret i have ever shared in my LIFE!!!!
Do not screengrab. Do not type it out. People should have to pay $5.99 (or 59.99 for the year) to hear it!!!!
Why did I idealize this office of 100% white people so much??? Why did I read Gawker when I was in middle school??? Why did I know who Julia Allison was? Why did I cry in my job interview with Sam and Mike to be a CH (RIP) cast member?? The universe is full of mysteries.
we've political rhetoric'd abortions into word soup mumbo jumbo about elections and hashtags when it's really quite simple.
I had an abortion when I was 20 and it was my choice. Other women should have the dignity of making the same choice without endangerment.
boyfriend made me go to the KITCHEN to use a UTENSIL to cut up my banana instead of taking little bites and spitting it back into my oatmeal in chunks? Wow. The patriarchy at work.
MY CHINESE MOM: I saw EEAAO and I understood all of it
ME: I guarantee you didn't
MOM: Yes I did. You see, she was in trouble with the IRS because she needed receipts for all her small business expenses and the thing about the IRS is [continues to explain taxes to me for 5 min]
calling my boyfriend my husband to be quirky, and calling my husband my ex-husband to be funny, and calling my ex-husband every day asking where did things go wrong
Every commercial audition:
"Okay your lines are 'AWOOGA the new Chrysler pacifica is one hot ROD I wanna ride ALL day long. Power wash these seats daddy bc im gonna cum all over them'
but be as grounded as possible. Remember, SINCERITY is key"
Much like Simone Biles, I must put my mental health first, before my sport. For that reason, I must respectfully bow out of this unpaid 11pm zoom improv show.
short thread of my packets in the hope it helps literally anyone trying to break into this difficult industry.
Here's my S*L packet that got me an interview this year:
Truly a low priority issue but if UCB reopens: Performers, I implore you to stand together and to refuse to perform on house teams until the theater offers to pay coaches (AT A MINIMUM). It's such a clear barrier of racial and class access to stage time when u have to pay to play
would it be helpful to comedy writers if I posted my sketch packet that got me an interview for the big sketch show? (Y/N)
I hate the opaqueness of the process
talking to my mom is like Chinese water torture but worse— both are Chinese but water torture stops when you cough up state secrets whereas my mom never stops telling you about property value in Potomac
To people bashing UCB today: it was a flawed institution and you might be a wonderful+funny+kind person outside of this, but I have seen a lot of you do improv and a lot of you are just not good at improv

every time Im on twitter I want to write some nasty lil response that will get me fired, then I remember I don't have a job :)))) only god can fire me from this mortal realm
the problem w using identity as a virtue signal while ignoring class is ppl get to be like "we're a small women-owned business" and its a warehouse-sized candle shop in Silverlake paid for w a trust fund
Impressive debut by LILY DU BERLAIS as the daughter of SHIROCCO (pic) wins the bumper

knowing dull family shit like “my great great grandpa was the first hatmaker in Indiana” is for white ppl.
having your parents never mention family history bc it’s too awash with trauma and they don’t think it’s important? That’s for 2nd-gen Asian kids ☺️
uh-oh it's time for my "no frivolous spending in 2023 but it doesn't count if I buy it quickly before midnight drunk and high on mushrooms" packages to start rolling in
