Doing a bit of language learning. I have to admit one frustrating situation as I’m conversing with folks is explaining why my family ain’t from anywhere but the US. Whatever origin exists before here is clearly complicated. I’m SO confused by their shock and awe.
Now living in NYC, it’s also wild that people always ask what country where my family is originally from and I’m like oh uh… our blood made the dirt down there red.
Literally just got back last night from a family reunion in Mississippi. Yup- I grew up Gary Indiana because my grandparents left Chicago for better work after bailing on D’Lo, MS.
Wild the nearby town is my family last name. Wild that the back roads are my great-grandparents name.
Ok but for real. Can someone hire me to do what I’m good at?
This is wild. These are wild times.
Gonna go eat some Lime Fritos.
"Graham realised that many of the films she loved by Black women, such as the coming-of-age drama Drylongso by Cauleen Smith, or Naked Acts by Bridgett M Davis, which are featured in the season, were debuts that neither director has yet followed up." www.theguardian.com/news/2025/ap...
A tale of two movies:
Similar deal structures. Similar budgets.
One made $45M from 3300 screens, post pandemic, and won the weekend.
The other made $41M from 3600 screens pre-pandemic, and placed second.
And yet this is the coverage.
I said the same thing. It’s for sure worth a couple of units. From a few different angles. Film, literature, and sociology.
Awe - I was PJ Hogan’s assistant back in the aughts. I wonder how he is these days. Nice to see his name in ink.
Healthy reminder that I write in all genres and mediums. No pigeonholing necessary.
It is always a delight when the TMNT (x3) gets on the bus or train. BOY did the last film capture NYC kids because I legit just said “OK Michelangelo” in all seriousness.
Captiain’s Log #6404. It has been over 6,000 days of being harangued by a cat named Willis for hours on end. It started as a joke. “Whatchu talking ‘bout?” It has now been 18 years and I still have no idea. He is a healthy cat who yells (not meows) non stop.
I am tired y’all.
How can we convince Workday to adopt a single login/password account for applicants? I have so many logins!! For the same site. It doesn’t help to have a PW manager because it’s the same site. Daily applications has made this a WILD experience.
It’s still hard to believe the simple fact that this is all self-imposed. Everything that’s happening right now wasn’t the result of some foreign adversary destroying the country. We did this all to ourselves by electing the dumbest motherfucker to ever rule a nation.
My favorite part of these unhinged posts are the comments. Brightens my day every time. 💫
Same with mine. He looks once, does a sniff check and gives me a look like 😐
I told myself I wasn’t going to cry. But with this one it’s legit impossible. Like. 😭😭😭😭😭
When I tel you the weather in NY changed on a DIME. Like….. aht aht. Don’t get too happy.

It's official: The Sundance Film Festival has chosen to move from Park City, Utah, to Boulder, Colorado. Announcement is coming soon. End of an era for America's most influential film fest.
Hamdan Ballal, Oscar-winning Palestinian co-director of No Other Land, attacked by Israeli settlers and arrested.
Annoying robot caller ID asking me to complete a loan I never applied for.
lol. Just now.
It’s so bad. It fills up my inbox. I have started staying in to get through to a human and the person on the other end is always confused. And acts as if I called them. It’s so weird. Now I just block and report as spam.
It’s me too and I know I’m great. There is something going on.
This made my day. Whew!! I hope one day they tell the version of the story we don’t know.
What a world they left vs returned to.
If you’re staffing, hire everyone who worked on Moon Girl the past 4 years. You will not regret having them on your team. This show was firing all cylinder, A++ on every department.
I do wonder about the future of Kids Entertainment. The conversations lately are not great.
FYI: this went to the close friends group chat. We are currently discussing
Me either. Sigh
Your characters exist. They WANT you to tell their story. Seek them out. They are your allies. #writing #scriptsky
That’s not to say I’m anti-100 eps. Just that that a) it’s possible to tell a satisfying story in one season b) we set the stories up to go forever and then pull the plug abruptly and nobody is happy c) I will never forgive canceling The Society 🤣
