PS - I'm not as much of an emoji nut as it looks. I lazily copy-pasted this bio from Clubhouse, where emojis are the thing. I'm @laurabelgray over there. Back when I was into it — for about 8 fever-dream weeks — I wrote a beginner's guide to Clubhouse over at https://talkingshrimp.com/how-to-use-clubhouse-and-not-hate-yourself-a-beginners-guide. Since I’ve barely gone near the place since summer 2021, this is a terrible use of precious bio real estate. I should be talking about something I’m still into, like Real Housewives. Not enough space!
