I'm also a #dad #newparents of a wild lil 1 year old (his name is Wilder).

I write about being a dad, being in the film and tv industry as an actor, etc.

Oh and I recently acted with Zoe Kravitz in the Steven Soderbergh film KIMI where I played a soviet hacker lol:

I'm a comedian, writer, and actor, interests are #writing #comedy #funny #Twitter #stream #substack #boardgames #mountainbiking #film

I'm also from #ukraine (born there, moved to US when I was seven) and live in #losangeles now.

forgot mastodon existed for a few days and now I am back. what's up how's everyones monday?

who up who anxious

I stumbled into an insanely good way to make sure I get my monthly writing done

https://botharetrue.substack.com/p/wanna-write-consistently-donate-to?s=w

its wild being on here cuz I realize how much of my approach to posting on #twitter was through the lens of 'how do I make this a viral'

I don't feel that at all here and frankly? it feels good

how can I quickly follow people from other instances without needing to do the whole type your username --> "click to follow" --> "follow" flow??

any other #twitch #streamers on here? I stream a show called Help Wanted - its basically a live podcast where we bring on funny + cool guests and try to help them with their real problems. We usually fail to help but we laugh and its a good time for all.

digging this walkthru of mastodon from @twisterghost

"On Mastodon, a simple “hello, this is who I am!” post on an account with zero followers can still gain traction and help get you connected with others. People engage far more often with the content in their feed. It is a welcoming, collaborative and unapologetically human space. I cannot emphasize this enough: we're all just vibing over here."

wanted to share a piece about how it feels to watch from afar as your homeland is attacked...it was written a few days after the war started but I still think applies #ukraine #odessa #russia #warinukraine #war #kiev

Any I Think You Should Leave fans here?

as a creative, twitter has become my linkedin - you can't really leave.

buuuut it does leave room for a new place to goof around and actually hang. maybe that's here?

ok so this might be dumb but - does it matter what server we choose? Like I am on mas.to but does that mean anything in terms of what I see or can post on and engage with?

I was looking through other servers here https://mastodon.social/ and my brain is like "ooooh i wanna be part of all of them" lol - can someone help me wwrap my head around this?

what is a Fediverse lol

mastodon feels like an escape room - you gotta figure out how it all works once you're inside it - except I may not ever wanna leave?

question: can you import #twitter followers into here?

And finally I write about creativity, being a dad, etc on Substack and Medium #substack #medium #dad #fatherhood #parenting #newparents
