No kings! Only sleigh queens 💅🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Oh hey!! Hi! I’ve been off for a bit, but would like to mention— I’m incredibly honored to be an #AFF32 Finalist for my Black Mirror Teleplay spec Newer Model! I’ll be in Austin next week, hope to see some #Filmsky #Scriptsky folk there! :)

What an honor to be among the TV drama teleplay specs as a Semifinalist at AFF! Only five of us and the finals still to be announced. 😅 Thrilled to see so many other pals on the SF & Second Rounder list! 💪👏 #AFF #Scriptsky #Filmsky #Scriptsky+ #AustinFilmFest

Someone better tell Ben that lion prides are matriarchal and female lions do 90% of the hunting and leadership. Lions also scavenge. Oh wait, he doesn’t believe in “science,” “facts” or “the truth.”

Hozier with my kiddo was incredible! The magical voice of wizard king live! He was political in the best way— the rising numbers of money spent on war and deaths was during “Eat your young.” He wore a daisy for peace and was a uniter. (Free Palestine). Shows the power of art to change the world.

Amazing news! My dark comedy pilot MOTIVATED was just selected by Filmmatic Comedy Screenplay Awards via FilmFreeway.com! MOTIVATED: A wannabe motivational speaker in a downward spiral takes her last stab at stardom and unintentionally inspires a lonely serial killer to chase his dreams.

North Korea did it better. Imagine failing at fascist dictator in front of the world— to the sound of a wonky grocery cart

Hey, some nice news: My sci-fi feature Artemis One is a Drama Semifinalist at Filmmatic Screenplay Awards. Has anyone gone to their Sundance networking event? Is it worth the trip? #scriptsky #scriptsky+ #filmsky #screenwriting

Good morning✌️🍀

once again I must tap my own sign

Maybe selling-out space to one unstable fascist billionaire wasn’t a good idea after all? He can go full Bond villain & hold the world hostage.

For some reason this comes to mind today 🌝

This rolling pin was brought over from Russia by my hubs great-grandmother. She was 16 and fleeing persecution of the Jews; her remaining family was killed. Now her great-great grandkids make blueberry pie each July 4th and honor the women who came before. Immigrants made America great, not hate.

My son just asked if Frankenstein is a zombie and now I’m having an existential crisis 🤯

If anything could ever get me to buy a pair of crocs, it’s the rainbow 🌈 Happy Pride!

Reskeet to save someone’s fucking life

Always 💖 Don't make me tap the sign

one drum I will always bang: culture—books, art, music, drama—is not a distraction or diversion. It is, I’d argue, a more important and enduring product of human society than political shifts. MOBY DICK was written in 1851 and is a more essential human event than anything related to Millard Fillmore

Each time you ask an AI chatbot a question, it sends a request to a data center and strains an increasingly scarce resource: water. A 🧵on our investigation into how the data centers that power AI are increasingly being built in highly water-stressed places: www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...

weekend vibe

AI lies. AI said someone else wrote my script and won a prize for it. Who do I complain to? Who corrects it? 1/3 #filmsky #scriptsky+

My post-CineStory ritual: tacos in the hotel room, silent and still on that writing retreat high. What a place, what a community 🙂‍↔️ #CineStory #filmsky+

My “window seat” into L.A. 🌝 (Aisle 17, never again)

Holy Cow! Thank you, Santa Barbara Screenplay Awards, for this amazing feedback on my dark comedy pilot MOTIVATED. R. Jackson, wherever you are, I owe you a drink! 🍹 #scriptsky+ #filmsky #scriptsky #screenwriters

Congrats, Tardigrade, you icon of cute resilience! “Its victory might show we are drawn to tiny but resilient animals in times of global political turmoil. When we feel small and powerless, the mighty, microscopic tardigrades give us hope.” 1/2 Per www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Little gentle reminder to all the human creatives out there 💪

trans tuesdays will be back April 22! here’s a super important one you may have missed: CIS PEOPLE GET GENDER AFFIRMING HEALTHCARE TOO because you need to understand the willful ignorance and utter hypocrisy of denying it to trans people

A lesson in patience: A producer read my AFF finalist script 3 years ago. Loved it, but it already had producers attached. She called me today because it stuck with her. Now wants to come on board with financing! 😵 Don’t write anyone off, you just never know. #filmsky #scriptsky

So cool that Google not only knows Gemini lies, but it also knows it lies to children. Gemini is used in schools.

Please consider signing the HRC petition on removing Trans leaders from Stonewall. Only 7k away from 100,000 names! act.hrc.org/page/166189/... #TransRights #Trans #pride #HRC

Coverfly & contests can feel like a gambit, but for LA outsiders they’re also a chance* at access. Every opportunity of mine came from a contest, writing lab, or Coverfly industry reads. Led me to my mgr, paid work & legit prod. on my 3 spec features. YMMV *results not guaranteed #scriptsky

Considering the VAST number of kids with ADHD, learning challenges, physical disabilities & food allergies that have 504 plans to allow them equal access to education and inclusion—- they’re about to get some VERY angry soccer moms & dads in white suburbia who didn’t realize they too were DEI

My 2025 mood

A brilliant piece in @theguardian.com on a father of AI on the difference between people & AI. Calculation vs. judgment. AI should never create stories of the human experience or do anything beyond forms of calculation because it has no judgment or perspective. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

The U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights has announced that it is arbitrarily dismissing student and parent complaints arising out of public schools’ documented acts of censorship and discrimination. Our response: Book bans are real. Full statement ➡️ www.ala.org/news/2025/01...

Just renewed my nonbinary kiddo’s passport in July, and I just ran to check— Thank goodness we chose X. It’s good for 10 years, hopefully it will be safe then? What cold-hearted cruelty to issue this order that only does harm. Performative hate & so incredibly vile. WWJD? Definitely not this.

I believe in this absolutely! There are no “rules,” only anecdotal experiences in multiplicity. Find your champions. Find the producers who click w/ you & your work. Keep writing. Defy any conventional wisdom. Be a unicorn. 🦄 (I was) #scriptsky #scriptsky+

hi! my name’s marty! i recently quit my second job, so i’m looking for a new one and taking art commissions! i draw pretty much anything, but mostly people and their environment, illustrations and book covers. i’d be happy to find my audience here and draw something for you! ✉️: [email protected]

Day 22 some messy ballerinas

Everytime I open this app I get a burst of joy so unlike that other place. We must defend Bluesky against the oligarchs at all costs 🦋🔪

Now this is rock-n-roll

This story is very close to my heart, because it combines two of my favorite things: extremely inventive cosplay, and earthworm romance.
