Another note on this, I was pitching an animated series for all humans that was centered around a 12 year old girl, with a HUGE and star studded team attached. Despite that, every single place we pitched it told us "girls don't watch animation."

I would probably be less financially stressed if I did biz dev on Fridays, but I’m committed to doing shit like this instead

Need a bit of good news?

Please don’t be jealous but today I get to: - scour my kitchen cabinets & find a pantry moth infestation - finish my taxes - replace my toilet flush kit

Is anyone watching The Testaments? I had to stop the Handmaids Tale because it felt too scary given our current trajectory. Would I be OK with this? Should I read instead? Before I watch?

I would like to dedicate this thread to all the folks who read my script & said that protestors would never throw dildos at a mayor or chief of police 🙏🏻 @mindysmadness.bsky.social for never doubting me

In related news, I will be replacing the toilet flush valve. Please cross your fingers.

I’m sorry to you good ones but maybe cis men need to have a decade off from being in any kind of leadership role.

I'm one of those trans women. I worked ground ops for Artemis I. I am torn between celebrating the success of my friends and peers and grieving how my dream of working for NASA was shattered by hateful assholes in Tallahassee

So, I’m in my Thrifted Menswear Tailored to My Body phase & I recently tried on a pair of “men’s” pants and discovered a mini pocket INSIDE a pocket! WITAF? We’ll know the patriarchy is finally dead when EVERYONE GETS POCKETS

OK I’m calling it. This has been an absolute shit week

I could use a little cheer. Whatcha got?

Today's been something. I did not win that big proposal that would have ensured some financial stability for the rest of the year. but I learned that you can scan a document using the iPhone Notes app so I guess all is not lost

Last year I campaigned for a Julianne Nicholson Emmy nom for Paradise & I’m on my shit again for next year

Should o watch this John Wick Ballerina movie

I get that I have the privilege of being surrounded by people with similar values but, is it truly possible to not know what a transhateful cunt JK Rowling is?

Fundraiser for librarian Luanne James, who stood up to her rightwing library board that demanded she remove kids books with any trace of LBGTQ+ characters or content. "I will not comply." They sacked her and cops escorted her out. She's a hero. This banned author just donated.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility. I'm so lucky to have had trans people in my life for my ENTIRE adulthood, which is longer than some of y'all've been alive. I'm lucky not only because they are who they are, but because watching their journeys has taught me so much about how we socialize gender

Back with more weird news, this company seems to make items for physical intimacy and maybe they went a little too far. What I most want you to take from this is that West Sacramento is NOT THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA www.latimes.com/business/sto...

Whew, the TERFs are out in full block mode, so let me triple down. I believe trans women are women. I am an intersectional feminist. I believe we must center the women most impacted by the patriarchy, including trans women, women of color, & disabled women That's what feminism is. Block away, TERF

Cargo thieves stole 12 tons of Kit Kat bars and I say ... Give them a break! I'll see myself out. www.reuters.com/business/thi...

it's wild to me all the romantic ships people have for characters on the Pitt. Like Landgon/King and Robby/Huckleberry. Are we so uncomfortable with the idea of mentorship relationships or reparative relationships with elders that we have to turn them sexual?

I’m finally, after 16 years, going through my MaMere’s recipe book and dearest gentle reader, WHAT?

I'm on hold with the IRS for an estimated wait time of 12 hours. AMA

Wrapped up a coaching client today & whew days like these remember why I'm here. The client has a brand new creative business & needed help getting up and running. He also has a scary diagnosis which, means he doesn't know how much time he has. Since we started, the proposal and leads are poppin!

What's the wildest story you have of being pitch-slapped in your LinkedIn DMs?

Rad. New variant just dropped in the San Francisco Bay Area. Super rad to find out they found it in airplane wastewater. Reason 10000000 not to be flying right now.

Babes, I need all your powers of manifestation right now. Got some proposals out that might actually help alleviate the state of panic I've been in for like 2 years

say someone wanted to conscientiously object to paying federal taxes because they didn't want them to be used to kidnap and terrorize neighbors...

NEW: We have seen DOJ secure a search warrant to seize ballots in Georgia and a subpoena to seize ballots in Arizona. Now a sheriff is seizing ballots in California. This is a crisis unfolding in real time. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Bay Area tech workers... rumor has it that when ICE and DHS came last time, tech CEOs made Lurie call his orange buddy to remove them. It worked. Put pressure on your CEOs to do it again to get ICE out of SFO.

If I'm being honest, companies should halt work travel until we're not living in a world where people are being asked to put themselves at enormous risk because their genders or skintones in order to advance their careers. Same with conferences.

I need more friends who live near me and who aren’t flaky

Lemme get this straight, Apple... My phone won't work unless I update it. I can't update it because there's not enough storage. There's no easy way to bulk transfer files to free up storage. Did I get that right?
