In which we discuss the dumbest and best detail about the Perform skill revealed on page 58 in Chapter Four: Skills in the Player's Handbook for third edition Dungeons & Dragons. You can find a glowing and insightful intro to Dorothy Parker at https://www.newyorker.com/books/second-read/dorothy-parker-and-the-art-of-the-literary-takedown, but you're missing out if you don't read her work yourself. Everybody knows and loves Resumé, but for my money she's at her best in prose works like "Arrangement in Black and White" and "The Little Hours." Marissa Paternoster is the lead singer of Screaming Females. I'm a big fan of their music in general, but their album All at Once would be a good place to start. It was a long time ago now, but if you want to see the band doing their thing outside the context of a music video, here's their AV Club cover of Shake It Off. Esteman has done a bunch of great stuff, but you might start with Te Alejas Más De Mí or Aeropuerto.
