THIS WEEK AT DYNASTY! IFY NWADIWE! LAUREN LAPKUS! ADAM CONOVER! JORGE GARCIA! VINNY THOMAS! DAN BLACK!
Dearest Darlings,
🍂 There’s a pleasant chill in the air and an absolutely deathly one creeping into our hearts this election week. AGH!!!!!!!! Like what the FLARP is going to happen?! But enough about that. This week is all about ACTION (vote) and DISTRACTION (so you don’t eat your hair whilst gripped by the frigid hands of existential dread. Also, any Dynasty Darlings want to go in with us on a commune? A cursory google tells us that with a minimum of 300 people we can maybe even form our own laws? 🤷♀️ IT CAN’T BE THAT HARD to do it better. We just need: land, a water source, and a bunch of people who know how to do stuff. Builders, plumbers, electricians, cooks, fashion designers, ceramicists (we’ll need nice things!), personal trainers, (weaponless) self-defense instructors, TikTokers who can MONETIZE this life style, master gardeners, production designers, sustainable living experts, money managers, <—— these are all available positions. Positions already filled include: popcorn poppers, entertainment committee, crow-enthusiast, and playlist czar.
🙄 And before you send in your sob-stories, there is only room for one playlist czar. 🙄
In other news, actual life (existential potentialities aside) has been good. JAMie’s settled into his new digs, and christened them with a real banger of a housewarming this weekend. (HOW banger, you ask? There was a bamboo tower being constructed, children hid with power tools, our friends at Paperback Brewery brought a keg, and Frank Flam did his famous moose-hands action.) VANessa’s sewage is back where it belongs, raining hell onto the shells of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The honeypot ants have stablized (thank you ALL for your support when this was mentioned weeks ago. Just kidding there was NO SUPPORT OFFERED. There’s a reason amateur myrmecologists become loners.) and Halloween was a flarpin’ delight.
