Literally no one told me Season 3 of Sweet Tooth received *14* Children's & Family Emmy nominations yesterday!!! It remains one of my favorite writers rooms I've been a part of 🦌

Great Horned Owl! Those ear tufts give it away. This is also the species that makes the classic hooting sound that most people associate with owls!

My writing partner @gryphonmetal.bsky.social and I are so damn proud of our contributions in this film 💖🇰🇷🫡 Hope Hollywood learns the right lessons and greenlights more ORIGINAL stories.

Working in Hollywood feels like treading on quicksand these days BUT sometimes you get to work on cool projects with even cooler people. Huge congrats to directors @maggiekang.bsky.social & Chris Appelhans and the whole team over at SPA on the release of KPOP DEMON HUNTERS, now streaming on Netflix!

I strongly echo everything in this article and would just add: what is even the point of engineering these animals, other than for the PR stunt.

Everything about this "dire wolf de-extinction" stinks of a cheap PR stunt and is emblematic of why we can't rely for a second on tech bros to address climate change and conservation in any meaningful way.

Colossal Bioscience did not revive dire wolves, despite a sensationalist Time Magazine cover story.

Making genetically modified animals that are cosplaying as extinct species is not de-extinction.

Took a moment to step outside and watch Mars reappear from behind the full Wolf moon (aka lunar occultation of Mars)!

Fundraisers for Hollywood Crew Members Affected by LA Fires

Put together a spreadsheet of Hollywood #crew fundraisers for crew members affected by the #LAFires. If you can give, please do. If you can't, please share! Our crews have had a horrible 5 years, and to start off 2025 with this level of destruction is unimaginable.

How scary. Glad you're OK!

Here are some mangrove swallows to go with your tree swallow!

Well, fuck.

As removal of dams frees Klamath River, California tribes see hope of saving salmon The largest dam removal project in U.S. history has freed the Klamath River, inspiring hope among Indigenous activists who pushed for rewilding to help save salmon.

More of this, please! Happy to see this story on the LAT front page.

Frieren: Beyond Journey's End was the perfect show to binge while sick and resting at home (but maybe I watched it too quickly...) Wonderful animation, worldbuilding, emotional turns. My only complaint is some of the humor felt out of place.

Hat tip to @extspace.bsky.social for the rec!

Opinion | When I Became a Birder, Almost Everything Else Fell Into Place To find the birds, you have to know them.

I wrote a little essay about what birding has done for me in the very short time since I became a birder.

How am I just now learning that Devery Jacobs was also a writer (and director) on Reservation Dogs? And that she wrote the wonderful S3 episode where Elora meets her dad? So much talent in one person!!
