Trying to cook up something fun to host a virtual screening next month 👀 Stay tuned for details! #Scriptsky #Filmsky

Exciting news - seems like this whole medical research and science thing might be good #covid #vaccines #science #research

And Block them all on social media, regardless of where you live or whether you have any subscriptions

Surprise! One of the best things your screenplay can be is surprising. (a thread) #scriptsky #filmsky

Paid gig for a composer. Figured some of us screenwriters might know one... #scriptsky

I know you all already know this but....

Sigh. No it doesn’t and this continues to be weird eugenist garbage that Nazis LOVE. You cannot judge someone’s morality by how they look and it enforces very dangerous stereotypes in both directions to do so. Stop this shit.

It looks like WOI, the ABC affiliate where I grew up watching Love Boat and Happy Days and Mork and Mindy, is a Sinclair station now. Terrible to imagine.

In a case of a stopped clock being right 2x day N.Z. has loosened its residency requirements for skilled visas. In part that's cos people are leaving in droves (right-wing government --> economic damage -- > exodus - it's a familiar pattern) but there are worse choices (cough U.S. cough).

I really need disability advocates to step up and condemn this shit. And that goes for politicians and celebrities too. I’m sick of this “how does it affect me personally” advocacy. You don’t get to be an ally when it’s convenient

I refuse to be told by a guy who has suggested all neurodivergent Individuals should be institutionalised, and another whose brain was eaten by a worm, that my being autistic is the problem, or a crisis. Autistic individuals aren't the problem, the way we are treated and minimised damn sure is.

I've kept telling you, you cannot cede any ground to them

NEW: Air Force jets are doing ICE flights to Africa with transponders turned off, making them nearly un-trackable. This includes the third-country removal to Ghana and another secret flight. We figured out where it landed. From me for @rollingstone.com: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

100%. It's disingenuous all the way down.

Yep. And the 'commonality' they find is usually some group of people they're willing to screw over. Often it's Black people. Often it's migrants. Often it's trans people. And you can bet whatever price they've decided is worth paying in terms of 'pragmatism' won't be paid by them..

Be like Nate :)

Thanks Meg! This looks like exactly the kind of product that would have been invaluable to people like Ben Shapiro. In all seriousness, what a grift - thanks for the heads up. #scriptsky

This is so true. And it doesn't just apply to the U.S. Been seeing exactly the same stupidity in the U.K. and Australia. Give them an inch, and you'll end up giving them a mile.

WOW! A thousand thanks to the readers and judges at @austinfilmfest for advancing my drama pilot GONE HOLLYWOOD to the semi-final round. This script is one that's dear-to-my-heart so I'm thrilled it connected with the folks at AFF ❤️ #austinfilmfestival #gonehollywoodseries #scriptsky

Finally it can be said: I’m a triple semifinalist at AFF in the drama feature, Wonder Project, and Enderby categories with THE OPEN AIR! Words cannot express what this means to me, especially with October being Down syndrome awareness month! Unfortunately, I won’t be able to/ #scriptsky

The current thing. Currently wrestling with showdown rewrites. Still needs work, but here it is, such as it is. #FirstPageFriday #scriptsky

Another useful read - the stuff about hierarchical learning models that require far fewer parameters is particularly interesting IMO. www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQvR...

One for your block list / oubliette.

Luckily, Sinclair has a helpful database of all their stations, so you can see if they're operating in your area and respond accordingly. sbgi.net/tv-stations/

NZ's first non binary MP was recently pushed out of Parliament. We should all be disgusted. It's not a coincidence, it's part of a growing movement to attack any minorities representing our people.

So, bondi deleted a government study showing that right-wingers commit more terrorism, and @matthew.flux.community put me onto it. Now there's another copy online here: www.scribd.com/document/918... and also here: www.slideshare.net/slideshow/wh... #USpol #law #terrorism #WhiteSupremacy

I don't know which morons need to hear this, but THESE GUYS WERE ANTIFA, every last one of them. They fought fascists.

If you're U.S. based, calculate how much you pay in taxes. Then calculate how much your resistance costs the regime. Most people pay more than they manage to cost. Which means you may want to remove your resources, skills and work from the regime. It's not easy: emigration is hard and takes time.

Clear and compelling watch IMO.

The union representing the musicians from Jimmy Kimmel’s band releases a statement calling the FCC’s pressure on Disney “state censorship.”

WGA Statement on ABC’s Decision to Pull Jimmy Kimmel Live!

This government, this "Labour government" has ignored, repeatedly, protections for people who have been trafficked and faced modern slavery. We don't need to further weaken protections, we need a damn government which protects those who need it. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Update - This experiment is going well, I think! If you have ten pages of a project you need eyes on, me being sneaky at work reading is ready to help - and meet new people which is my ulterior motive *cue cackling* But seriously, let this be our writers meet-cute! Let it happen!! #scriptsky

Mark Thomas is generally awesome. Wrote a bleakly fantastic book about the arms trade a while ago (and has done many other excellent things too). Hadn't realised he was here: you should follow him.

When Republicans (yep - all of them - I'm done with distinctions that don't involve a difference) deny dehumanising people... ... it's because they don't consider the people they dehumanise to be human in the first place.

Absolute solidarity with @zoejardiniere.bsky.social and @ukstoptrump.bsky.social. When you look at what Trump is doing in the US, the language, orders, removal of rights, militarisation of cities and massive violations of international law, he should not be being granted a second state visit.

If at this point you still have Twitter/X please for the love of that’s good, delete it. Even if you only use it every now and then , you’re still a mark on that disgusting man’s spreadsheet.

Nods. And always the 'but you took me out of context.' As if there were any context in which their venom were acceptable.

The impulse was already there and had been for a while, white nationalism isn’t new. GG caused the creation/expansion of online infrastructure for networking, community building (mainly among young online people) and spreading/testing of tactics and propaganda. But it didn’t invent the fasc wheel.

If you're U.K. based, please follow Sam's lead here.

Remembering ck, from someone whose life he touched. -Dr. Stacey Patton is an award-winning journalist, author, historian & nationally recognized child advocate-

Remember how scary it was for the 36 hours where it felt like the Right could explode into violence as a repercussion of an assassination? That's what our trans brothers & sisters feel like every fucking day We have to protect them at all costs. They are our line in the sand; not a bargaining chip.

Do it. And if you had chicken pox as a kid, get the shingles vax too if you can. Having had Covid seems to increase risk for getting shingles - and I've seen that be lifechanging in a really bad way for a couple of people now.

I’m devastated that this child died of a preventable illness and did not have any agency in their fate I didn’t go to law school, but I wonder if parents can be held liable for manslaughter, and if a DA was willing to prosecute whether it would have any effect on vaccine rates Vaccines save lives

Yep. It's already happened with Covid. Got friends who talk about 'back in the lockdown days' in a State that *never had a lockdown* (except for three days when there was a new variant scare). Not being able to have huge houseparties != lockdown FFS.

If you're in Toronto go see this - it got a great review off the Guardian. #scriptsky

Hey #Scriptksy friends, Brenda just arrived 😇

‼️ New Jersey:

A half hour lecture during my jury duty about how I was allowed to use inference to send someone to prison for the bulk of their natural life, but I am not allowed to look at obvious shit about this Administration and say "Hey, that seems like obvious shit."
