If you're a cis person who wants to be kind to your trans and nonbinary friends right now, please do not forward us links to stories about trans people being abused, having their rights taken away, or living in fear. We already know. A friendly "hey I hope you're OK" is much more helpful. 💖

The Black Phone 2 is AMAZING

Here are a few of my film projects, and where they are right now. I’m planning a mailing list, but I thought I’d pop this here for some feedback! Is this interesting? Something I should send out once a month? Thoughts?

Good morning from the cabin above the clouds. #WestMarin

I’ve just published a new review for Ministry of Lost Things - Case 1: Lint Condition. It’s the first in a series of whimsical puzzle games from @postcurious.bsky.social. Case 2 launches on Kickstarter next Tuesday so now is the perfect time to get caught up on the happenings in the Elusiverse!

OH! 😃😃😃💯 #TheMandalorian&Grogu www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pa1...

Any movie poster / promotional material designers available for some work this week that requires a quick turnaround?

Anyone want 2 free tickets to see the SF Neo-Futurists new show “Hole” today Sunday at 2pm? HOLE www.eventbrite.com/e/hole-a-new...

Nothing like listening to a riff in Health - Children of Sorrow that is inspired by KMFDM - Godlike which was a sample from Slayer - Angel of Death, and knowing how they all inspired each other. It’s a guitartastic morning.

I can’t wait to see this.

A stealthy bobcat catches a gopher in West Marin.

A very large, muscular visitor on the desert camera last night. First time we’ve had confirmation (sort of) of a cougar/mountain lion nearby. (Just behind the house!) Thrilling — & a bit unnerving. Not exactly a classic wildlife photo, I realise.

Fix your brain and heart

Pam Melroy, a retired Air Force colonel and astronaut, is one of only two women ever to command a space shuttle. She left NASA in 2009 after three missions and more than 900 hours in orbit, later taking on leadership roles in aerospace and government. @astropam.bsky.social

Brag post: I slept 8 hours, 45 minutes yesterday on the plane, watched Casablanca and Pump Up the Volume, and then went home, went to bed at 10 pm, and slept another 7 hours, 24 minutes. Got up at 9 am, and feel like a Jet Lag Hero! When did I become so magical and powerful?!

Hey--I'm selling an original Alf logo that I did while on staff at Marvel over on Ebay--you should but it! www.ebay.com/itm/29762534...

Pump Up the Volume goes harder than it has any right to with anti-authoritarian desires of teens, obliviousness of their parents, rad diverse punk music, and lots of underrepresented faces amongst the students. And burning an effigy of Crestwood during the FCC triangulation? Talk Hard.

Just finished rewatching Casablanca and reminded of America at the beginning of WWII, right after Pearl Harbor, and there was a clear understanding that the US had to open our borders to all people escaping fascism. In contrast, now my trans and non-native US citizen friends are fleeing our fascism.

Headed home from Poland via Berlin and Frankfurt today after a long week at the #ExtraordinaryCollege - Here’s a promo for this year’s College. It was a delight to be part of this year’s cohort.

Happy "Hack the Planet" day to all those who celebrate 40 years ago today the movie Hackers was released. Definitely one of the best hacker movies out there. Sneakers of course being the best. :)

Germany 450 adults took part in a trial testing azelastine nasal spray for COVID prevention. Only 2.2% on azelastine were infected versus 6.7% on placebo, suggesting the spray cut risk by two thirds with similar safety. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

I have not seen anyone else wearing a mask in the Berlin airport in the last three hours. And I’ve literally seen thousands of people. I guess they just don’t have Covid here? (Just kidding I know they do. I guess they just don’t care.)

This is a delight! Bridget Everett forever.

So, accidentally ended up with five free hours at the Berlin airport. Whoops. Too early/not enough time to go into Berlin, I think.

My mom was working as a nurse in London in NINETEEN SIXTY-THREE and was cautioned aggressively by nurses a generation older than her about misgendering trans patients.

Hey #WestMarin! Come join me Friday, October 10 in #PointReyes, the shooting location for the classic horror film, The Fog! We're going to bundle up in blankets and enjoy the film right where it was shot - it'll be great spooky fun.

My Starcruiser friend @lyssluna.bsky.social is battling cancer, and is more than 1/2 way toward their goal - If you are a fan of Lady H, please consider chipping in to help a fellow traveler. May the stars light their way.

Good evening, EWR, on the evening of September 12, 2025.

Shout out to everyone only now learning that "Albert Einstein was reclusive at the end of his career, shunning public engagements." Really meant, "For the last *20 years* of his career, Einstein opposed US racism by only speaking publicly at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

I’m pretty close to becoming the kind of person you can only reach via fax machine or postcard. Would that make me “very offline” ?

do you know an awesome, civic-minded customer experience leader who can run a call center, a website, an app, & is a terrific partner & manager? & hangs out in commuting range of San Francisco? please point that person right at this post 👇

Are you interested in owning an amazing rare fruit orchard in California? My friend is looking to sell this amazing place after the recent death of a loved one, and I can put you in touch. birdsongorchards.com

Too many people fighting cancer right now. Take care of yourselves, ya’all. Hug your friends and your pets, get out there and live your best life.

Headed to NYC for a little Candle House, some Masquarade, and a smidge of Viola’s Room. Then, to Poland for the College of Extraordinary Experiences!

Job alert! Would you like to do good? You could do good.

Incredibly disappointed at this cast list for the HP audible. I understand that for some people this is just about commerce and the bottom line, but for me, this is an attack on my friends and family. We need to stop funding hate.

Some Iris van Herpen to start your day.

just saying, this hits different in your 40s than when it came out when you were 18 music.youtube.com/watch?v=sTJ7...
