Studying, identifying & understanding the difference between a problem and a dilemma has fundamentally changed my writing & how I think about story.

yesterday was dope. #Superman is incredible and everyone should see it.

I know this is almost always an “unhealthy” coping mechanism but I also kind of want to “throw myself into my work” while I have a job I actually love who knows when I’ll be able to do this again??

THE STUDIO might be a perfect TV show. Ep 7 has me screaming. Not Ice Cube 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

LL Cool J said that he will not perform at Wawa Welcome America in Philadelphia on July 4th because of union strike “There is absolutely no way I can perform across a picket line”

being on deadline is great bc it’s like “if I don’t stop doomscrolling and revise this draft—I’m getting fired!” truly elite, unmatched motivation when you think about it. but tweeting is different! it’s a form of writing, which is stimulating & creative. right?

“I didn’t vote for this”

5 episodes into THE STUDIO. Just finished the pilot of THE PITT. About to catch up on HACKS. TV is fucking dope, man.

Me, 10 minutes into THE STUDIO

✨️💚✨️

LFGOOOOOO

I luh to see y'all SHININ'! CONGRATS

Oh hell yes! Congrats!

Wrote this piece for Harpers Bazaar about the life, legacy, and hate-induced murder of Jonathan Joss through the eyes of being a Two-Spirit Native person this Pride. I hope you take a read. For Him. For all of us. 🪶

my first “exciting career news” Bluesky post 🙏🏾

I fucking love LA.

I just have to say for those of you not in LA that in the days before the horrible raids started, there was no crisis or whatever they would let you believe. It wasn't like something was escalating out of control and somebody had to step in. THEY are creating the problems.

Los Angeles is not a war zone. We are not descending into chaos and lawlessness. We’re a great city full of good people. We don’t need the National Guard.

I know one thing. If I were a young blonde, white woman, and a police officer shot me ON CAMERA, my settlement would be large enough to have its own itemized line on LA's yearly budget.

I fucking love LA.

this is like drake and kendrick lamar but they're both drake

I don’t have anything clever all the jokes have been made but LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Been a minute but this feels like a worthy “I’m back” post. LA>>>> your city.

Another thing I hate about AI/ChatGPT is the idea people are like “of COURSE students are gonna use it” which really pisses me off because then I’m reminded how easy academic cheating is now. In MY day, we would still cheat, but you actually had to go FIND the quizlet cards with the answers

hear hear

it’s friday night and I’m playing The LA Complex end credits music on a loop just to feel something

Cancelled TV show you will never stop thinking about. TEENAGE BOUNTY HUNTERS had the perfect blend of impeccable writing, wicked chemistry and a glorious cliffhanger for the second season that never was. Forever grateful for @scriptsbyjames.bsky.social for shining a light on this perfect show.

The most obvious lesson to draw from the leaked Signal chat is that these people really are morons. It's not a public act, it's not a schtick, there's not some secret back room where they drop the facade. They are genuinely stupid, incompetent people.

in bed at 9p on a Friday night sometimes life really is incredible

been in mid city damn near 4 years and just now realizing nobody fcking lives here 🤣🤣🤣

them: think you’ll ever leave LA/California? my lock screen:

Hold on, I need a script with a character named Jules then my career takes off

What are some niche/specific things your show would 100% have if you’re running it? Mine: 1) Actual songs underscoring scenes>>>> 2) Traditional dramatic score 3) Rack Focus shots>>> 4) The “but did you know that I know that you knew what he didn’t know” joke 5) Dramatic ep titles 6) heel turns

I find so many songs now where I’m like “yup, that’s the track for Everly S206, around the horn”

Navigating the business/relationships part of this industry is infinitely more challenging than figuring out the craft on the page lol

lil earthquake???

Someone greenlight this. I haven’t read it. I also don’t need to. Give me this show ASAP.

Random, Sunday morning, on-the-bike-therefore-lacking- oxygen thought… I love that YA has somewhat shifted towards elevated/prestige TV because that’s a fun space. But I do also miss that classic, CRINGE, nostalgia via second hand embarrassment type of YA Why? Because adolescence IS PURE CRINGE

definitely heard “cool girls don’t drink coffee anymore” at Aroma earlier, so I’m officially at “wtf are the kids talking about” age

Holding up a little sign that says “please stop” as the notorious serial killer, Illiterate Bob, stabs me to death

Watching AOC’s IG live recap proved to be the best strategy. not listening to that man talk

Walk down a busy LA street and just observe the shit people do while driving. Free hour of TV.

just finished this episode I haven’t yet moved from my position. I loved that so damn much.

NAH. NAHHHHHHHHHHHH, man. I just audibly GASPED when I realized what episode 7 of Poker Face was doing. holy shit. TV writers are incredible lmao

CAN I PLEASE GET AN EMAIL I ACTUALLY WANT/NEED????? the moment of false hope I get every time that Gmail notification hits hoping it’s career/job related only for it to be Auto Zone offering me $20 in bonus rewards is getting real old

98% of the writing notes I GIVE are “bigger stakes” 98% of the writing notes I GET are “bigger stakes” so, this is me, your currently procrastinating and unemployed writer friend, reminding you — you can always up your stakes! (YMMV)

Watching a good friend watch Hacks for the first time this is as cinematic as the show

how much are the Jimmy jerseys on clearance for 💀

I fucked up someone’s pronouns yesterday (no excuse, I fucked up) and a poster kindly reminded me of the correct ones. Listen. You can correct me on that anytime. Correct me on my birthday. Correct me on my deathbed. Because despite what terrible people say, your identity MATTERS.

love when a company I forgot I even applied to sends the “after careful consideration” rejection email at ELEVEN PM like c’mon dawg, 11 pm??? you *want* me to crash out huh
