Ridiculously proud of the @theiwclist.bsky.social Independent Writers Caucus (www.IWCList.com) as we welcome our mighty new Board! Howard called us "one of those small, scrappy, wondrous organizations that actually does what it says it does: help aspiring screen and television writers... "

I love this so much!

At the inauguration, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a distinctive collar adorned with cowrie shells, which are believed to offer protection from evil in African traditions.

Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

You are THE BEST and have the greatest heart I've met in all my travels in this crazy land. If I can ever honor you as you honor 10,000 people in this business, I will. Got your six. Always!

I can't love the crew over at the Stunt List more than I already do! They are amazing and do the good work of bringing great scripts out to the world! Thank you to Ash Lazer @ashlazer.bsky.social and his team for all their heart! You guys kick ass and I remain a fan! HAPPY NEW YEAR, STUNT LIST!
