Therapy Gecko: The Internet’s Unofficial Therapist
During the pandemic, Lyle Drescher started dressing up as a gecko and doing a live call-in show as Lyle the Therapy Gecko. Drescher is obviously not a therapist (more like an advice columnist?) but he does seem like a generous listener, which is a bit of a rarity online. This video is also a meditation about online identity and the unusual sort of performance art that is familiar to anyone who publishes online (even those of us who work in text & links). (via waxy)

Loved this. The concept reminds me of Post Secret a bit. I saw he was coming to Boston and bought tix too!
