Holy SHIT they've identified an actual biomarker!!!

And here is Seth’s excellent, sobering piece in @theguardian.com with extensive receipts on how these “free speech” comedy guys are absolutely eager and willing to take checks from a regime that suppresses speech & carved up a journalist. www.theguardian.com/culture/2025...

Really worth a read.

I am told almost every day on this website that I’m absurd. But I firmly believe this: we can do better on Covid, and it’s not even that far away. But it starts with individuals choosing to take action. You. Me. All change starts there.

The start of Down syndrome awareness month is only a few days away. I only need $275 to pay for my hotel and pitch this beautiful story at AFF! 💙💛 #scriptsky

Woke up feeling sick, which means I’m missing a friend’s romance novel book signing and I’m mad about it, so I’m hoping I can at least finish my blanket while I’m stuck at home feeling shitty. 🧶 #crochetsky

#scriptsky Barbara Marque is an indie director based in LA. Her husband is asking for: people to publicise what's happened to her; and to share info with any contacts who could help. She was separated by her lawyer by the officer claiming a 'broken photocopier' at a scheduled meeting.

Some amazing gay history. Listen up kids.

Decisive, fast, loud action works against this government and their corporate cronies and it should be the response every single time, without hesitation. It works.

It took just three days to get Sinclair to back down, and what it got in exchange for agreeing to put Kimmel back on the air was...nothing. This is not what happens every time you stand up to a bully, but if you don't fight back, you'll never know if you would have won.

Abolish ICE.

Des Moines is the semi-liberal bastion in Des Moines, and the Des Moines Public Schools are one of the particular bugbears for the Iowa GOP. This is absolutely a specific political attack on the DMPS, on the African community in Des Moines, and on the most diverse city in the state.

List 3 things you can talk about for 3 hours with no prep 1. Screenwriting 2. Personal finance and specifically the app YNAB 3. Seasons 1-7 of Grey’s Anatomy

"No hate, no fear! Immigrants are welcome here!" Absolutely massive crowd at the New Yorkers Against ICE march. Blocks long!

This COVID outbreak is no joke, gang. Lots of folks turning up positive. Time to * Get that new Vax if you can * Stock up on masks * Stock up on COVID tests - they are selling out * Make a battle plan to take care of yourself if you need to quarantine * Avoid larger events if you are vulnerable

A sex scene is a type of scene. It can be good or bad, plot motivating or not, explicit or tame. Sex scenes aren’t any one thing, which is WHY I find this discourse weird. It would also be weird if a whole group of people was like “UGH!DINNER SCENES! THEY ARENT NECESSARY! WHY DO I NEED TO SEE THAT!”

I’m almost done with my first adult-sized blanket! Did I go too big? Impossible! I shall always be cozy for naps and movie watching. 🧶 #crochet #crochetsky

Let me be crystal clear when I say this. Vilifying trans women in the name of “protecting” cis women is just a push toward bioessentialist bullshit and seeks to define womanhood in an extremely narrow and disingenuous way. It’s a nefarious patriarchal paradigm repackaged as concern.

Yep. Cancelled here too. Not giving these corporations money is the least we can do. No amazon, no Target, no Disney. Simple as that.

I’ve joked that I pay my agents 10% of my salary - not to find me jobs - but to be the ones who have to hear I didn’t get the job… over and over and over again. Like any creative industry, #screenwriting is hard and brutally competitive. So here’s a #Scriptsky #WritingCommunity 🧵 on REJECTION. 1

I would love to pitch this story in person during Down syndrome awareness month, so if you are able and feel called to help, I’ve created a go fund me to help cover the costs. Link is below. Thank you to everyone who gave me notes on this script. Kia kaha! gofund.me/437bb58d2

Replace them all. Primary every single one. They are useless to us as we fight this autocracy.

Here’s all the ways you can take action against Disney, ABC, Sinclair, and Nexstar for silencing Jimmy Kimmel and attacking free speech. Share WIDELY. #BOYCOTTDISNEYABC

I know we keep focusing on Colbert and Kimmel as we should, but we also need to remember there are hundreds of people who work for these shows who also just lost their jobs because of this bullshit, and most of them are probably not millionaires.

Rich people, especially rich people in the media & entertainment industries right this moment: The point of having fuck you money is saying “fuck you” when it counts.

A Black man and a homeless man were found hanging from trees in Mississippi yesterday, for those who haven’t seen yet because it’s barely made it out of local news.

Agreed! I’m really loving it and wish we had more episodes.

This is honestly inspiring and the playbook we all need to follow when our own cities get targeted.

Writing in a coffee shop this morning, with headphones in so I don't end up listening to other people's conversations instead of writing. Now I've got classical music in my ears, with the distant, fast beat of some kind of EDM from the shop's speakers. I don't hate it. #scriptsky #screenwriting

every democrat who does not speak out about this enables it. what the administration is doing here is a large-scale tactic to isolate trans people and strengthen future attacks on us. the gains we have made are built on visibility and public knowledge of us and our needs.

@jordanmyr1ck.bsky.social how did no one suggest Daniel Radcliffe? Very kind eyes, very British, and confident enough to do whatever the hell roles he wants post-childhood fame, including musicals, Weird Al, and a wacky villain in The Lost City! I vote Daniel Radcliffe as a man for lesbians.

reposted this today because the inverse is also true: if you abandon trans people right now, you are abandoning civil rights period. if you can't stand up for trans people when it matters, no one should, or will, ever trust you when the bullseye moves to the next target.

If he was going around saying 25 year old women are too young to make decisions about abortion, I wonder if he’d have such diehard lib support. Bodily autonomy is bodily autonomy.

Hello. I wrote a nice long essay about AI and this very strange moment where we're constantly told we're living in the dawn of a strange new future but the only thing that's actually clear is that everyone feels pretty unmoored and uncertain. I hope you'll read it

I hope your community is never occupied like LA or DC. But if it is, you’ll quickly find that people don’t take kindly to having their city under federal control. And folks are just getting started. 📌 Protesters gathered near a checkpoint in the U Street corridor in Northwest Washington.

DC police are using excessive force against Black people

“Set Up Apple Intelligence” NOOOOOOOO! Leave me alone with this AI shit! I don’t want to install Apple Intelligence, ChatGPT, Grok, Copilot, Gemini, don’t want to talk to Rufus or Meta AI. I didn’t ask to have this damn otter AI on my Zoom! Stop forcing this down our throats!

1/ I represent 5 anti-zionist students and faculty challenging the outrageous claim that the Palestine Solidarity Encampment was a "Jew exclusion zone". UCLA refused to defend. Today they agreed to pay millions instead. I can't overstate how dangerous this is. 🧵 www.latimes.com/california/s...

I haven’t seen the discourse at this particular moment but as someone who shames myself regularly for not cooking all the time, not loving to cook or knowing how to do it well, this is honestly what I needed to hear.

You wanted an Oops! All DMs season of Dimension 20, and Katie brought you an Oops! All DMs season #GameChanger

Samantha is a fat woman living in a Hallmark-movie small town who’s always getting swept up into the life and needs of the latest young woman who comes to town and finds love. She’s smart, funny, and wants to own her own business. It’s called THE FAT BEST FRIEND. #FiveAfterFive #ScriptSky

It was FREELANCE, a half hour workplace comedy that took place inside a coworking space with a bunch of different freelancers and self-employed people. It was … fine. But I finished it! And I moved on! #FiveAfterFive #Scriptsky

After all those baby blankets, I had to make one for myself. In this first pic, I was comparing the width to my existing green throw blanket. Got a long way to go in terms of length but it’s getting there (it’s horizontal stripes from top to bottom). #crochet 🧶 #crochetsky

TIDAL is out here waiting for y’all whenever you’re ready. And PocketCasts too.

This is certainly the tism talking but I find so much joy in curiosity and the process of learning that the idea of wanting to outsource thinking to a machine is unfathomable to me That’s the fun part! Why wouldn’t you want to do that?

This isn’t the female gaze. This is the male gaze. It’s men who are obsessed with the physicality of other men. Women, in the main, would much rather see a man who looks like he’d make himself a stack of buttered toast and let you steal a slice

If you don’t end up with a crush on at least one, but probably two or more, contestants by the end of a series of Taskmaster, are you even watching

CBS canceled Colbert’s show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump – a deal that looks like bribery. America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons. Watch and share his message.
