Erin Macdonald is on a social media break

Shoot me a DM!
And yes, I have it...both book and audio version!

💕 Thank you... you too!

My holiday will not be robbed of Tim Curry

Last year I made an edited version of Home Alone 2 (yep, just cutting out that one scene as cleanly as possible) and let me tell you, Current Me is very proud that Past Me put in that work and now I have it every holiday season, happily edited.

That soundtrack is SO damn good.

SCIENCE ON SCREEN® - ReENTRY with Guest Speaker Dr. Erin Macdonald and director Brendan Choisnet - Martha's Vineyard Film Society Fri Dec 19, 7:30 pm @ Martha's Vineyard Film CenterBuy [...]

Friends in the North-East US...check out this Science On Screen screening of ReENTRY in Martha's Vineyard with a special virtual, live presentation by me this Friday! It's a great sci-fi film and should be a fun evening!

obviously not the major driver of his health concerns but it is very funny to read A Christmas Carol as an adult and realize that when tiny tim first says "God bless us, every one!" he's a severely malnourished child and they've given him a cup of hot gin

I suppose I can forgive you, but you have to talk to the Big Yin.
Also, weirdly good with Jack Daniels...like a G&T, they cancel each other out.

AHH I JUST SAW THE IRN BRU. IRN BRU! IRN BRU! (Bottom Shelf...immediate 1A placement)

1. McVities Chocolate Digestives
2. Mint Aeros
3. TimTams (I know it's a touristy thing but I love a tim tam slam)
4. I think I see ribena or some squash in the bottom? That's good, but not if it's more than $5. Mix a splash with water.

There are, as of this moment, 969 episodes of Star Trek. If a new one doesn't appeal to you, I'm sure there's something in the literal month-long runtime of previous series you can enjoy silently by yourself.

To quote MST3K -- repeat to yourself, "it's just a show, I should really just relax."

This is a phenomenal video and I encourage everyone to watch it. It is 2 hours long, but absolutely worth it.

For most of us we've written our specs. We've written MANY. We have great samples. We have good feedback. We KEEP WRITING. The problem? No one is reading.

Rooms will not read lower levels. As such, agents will not read us because they can not get us work. We're writing specs for an army of one.

This is a great article! I yearn for a return to the business standard which allows for coaching trees to become a regular thing again 😭

I finally got some clarity on this, so sorry for the delay but it's not actually me who did the advising on PLURIBUS (though I would have LOVED to work with that team!). It seems to be an immunologist named Erin McDonald.
It's wild that there are two of us doing TV science consulting!

How Ruby Went Off the Rails What happened to RubyGems, Bundler, and the Open Source drama that controls the internet infrastructure.

New: the world of Ruby has gone completely off the rails over the past few weeks. Developers suddenly locked out, corporate pressure, and claims of a "hostile takeover" of one of the most critical pieces of infrastructure for the internet we all rely on everyday

I went to my first this year and it was AMAZING. None of the new dates are near me but I’ll keep an eye if there’s convenient travel!

Yeah!!!

So great!! Season 4 is a masterpiece.

Sounds lovely. The real question is…which episode(s) of DS9?!?!
