Hello Darlings of all walks of life!
Hope the magical rabbit visited you all and brought you candied eggs n’ jellied beans with a little 4.20 grass garnish on top! 😉 What a SPECIAL Sunday we all must have had, amen. 🥚 🙏 🍃. We, in fact, DID have a special Sunday and many other special days surrounding it. The little joys of life feel like they’re waking up again after a long hibernation period. That’s the whole spring thing, maaaan. 🌺 … Is it a sign of our age that spring is really hitting us as a MAGNIFICENT PAGEANT this year? To watch plants go from literal dormancy into flowering and sprawling and calling to the pollinators who enthusiastically rise to the occasion. Buzzing! It’s real! The actual soundscape of gardens and the natural world! In a word: WOW.
It’s JAMie’s first spring in his current home and his first time witnessing the huge yard wake up. So much GREEN where before there was no GREEN! 💚 In a word: WOW. Last week VANessa came over and they identified plants (this yard is basically a natural apothecary! Witches, rise up! 👊 🧹) and made sticky willy tea with mint and henbit and calendula and sipped it together as they dreamed into the future of Dynasty and other things. Which is NOT something they would’ve done four years ago. That era was more of a dreaming into the future with diet coke and doritos in the dark vibe. That vibe still exists on occasion, but it’s nice to add some earthly texture to life. Absolutely NO SHADE to Doritos, whose texture is… celestial. ✨ The man who invented/appropriated Doritos for Frito-Lay was named Arch West. Which is the most Ansel Adam’s sounding name there e’re was. His parents maybe dreamed of him going into nature photography, but instead he went into CORNMEAL ALCHEMY and there ain’t nothing wrong with that. (A quick look into Mr. West shows he was also friends with Dave Pace, of Pace Picante sauce and other Pace foods. A friendship like this? In a word: WOW.) Sadly, it seems Dave Pace does not yet have a Wikipedia page. Will one of OUR Darlings rectify this? You guys, not to sound cheesy (queso-y?), but we have to BE the change we want to see in the world. 💕
Meanwhile, VANessa recently built a barrel pond in her backyard and is spending a lot of time staring into it and watching snails do their thang. (These slimy little hermaphrodites never met scum they didn’t want to full-body slurp!) The uptick of watching snails seems is happening at the same time as a plunge in her body producing collagen. Related? Who’s to say. A scientist probably!
And now, the never ending work of life: to discover that which brings joy and peace and laughter and then marry it with our personal, ever evolving PURPOSE. Woof! You know we’ll let you know how that goes. Maybe as soon as THIS Wednesday's stacked n' magical Dynasty Tonight! show? Yep, we're excited to be hosting together for the first time in a bit and will use the opportunity to usher in continued Spring evolution for ourselves and everyone in attendance. If you come, you WILL become the next iteration of your highest self. That's a guarantee, and THAT'S The Dynasty Difference!™
Magnificent Pageantry,
VanJam
PS: WOW.

🎥 LIVE AND LIVESTREAMED! 🎥
TINY DINOS – the podcast LIFEHACKER called “One Of The Funniest Podcasts Of 2024” and “One Of The 10 Best New Podcasts Of 2024” – is coming to DYNASTY TYPEWRITER for its first EVER live episode!
JAMES III (GOOD BURGER 2, ASTRONOMY CLUB) and CONNOR RATLIFF (DEAD EYES, THE MARVELOUS MRS. MAISEL) play two best friends who are scientists who secretly brought back DINOSAURS – but brought them back VERY TINY so there would be no problems.
Over the course of two podcast seasons, they have managed to keep their very big (tiny) secret, partly by never achieving threshold success as a podcast.
This show will be a chance for literally DOZENS of their biggest fans (called “SPHERE PEERS”) to see them work their podcast magic in front of a live audience, with special guests, collectible merchandise and maybe even a chance to see the TINY DINOS up close.
