Are any of the zip-up hoodies lightweight? (I don’t like them too heavy, as I get hot quickly; I have MS, so I have β€˜heating’ issues πŸ˜‰)

Oh, how I would love to help more people work wonders with their stories and projects. I used to help storytellers in a similar capacity in film and video (as script supervisor), which is why I wanted to shift to editing; it has been a hard shift, though.
My genre preference is also horror οΏΌπŸ”ͺ⚰️πŸ”₯

Good. It’s horrible for the job market, creativity, and the environment.
A soulless endeavor that is sucking the life out of countless industries and endeavors. (And it’s not even intelligent.)

Someone's Watching Me! (TV Movie 1978) ⭐ 6.6 | Horror, Mystery, Thriller 1h 37m | Not Rated

Another #horror for October: SOMEBODY’S WATCHING ME! used to be known as the β€œlost #JohnCarpenter film” because of its scarcity on home video. It stars Lauren Hutton; it’s an obvious homage to Hitchcock’s REAR WINDOW, but the voyeurism is reversed (echoes of BLACK CHRISTMAS) πŸ“ž

The Bad Seed (TV Movie 1985) ⭐ 5.5 | Drama, Horror, Thriller 1h 40m | Unrated

First #horror movie for October: BAD SEED, which isn’t really about an evil child, but a straight-up SOCIOPATH (a book I’m reading by @patricgagne.com). A remake of a 1956 film, this has few horror elements, and a lot of bizarre adult behavior. Stars David Carradine and Lynn Redgrave in wacky roles.

Jane Goodall, Who Chronicled the Social Lives of Chimps, Dies at 91

I’ve been thinking about this all day. I always dreamed of meeting this wonderful woman. Some people live inspiring lives; #JaneGoodall was an ICON. May her next life be the adventure she dreamed of.

The industry shouldn’t even give this air. It’s an insult to everyoneβ€”all those REAL LIVE PEOPLEβ€”who bust their asses to create entertainment worth watching. I know too many people who work in film and TV who are struggling for work to support this πŸ’©Enough already.

I just finished reading #TheOnceandFutureMe by #MelissaPace

I'll bet most of them didn't read that bill. I'm so disgusted. It doesn't just cut healthcare and climate protections, it adds $150 billion to military spending (air and missile defense and investment into the "Golden Dome"). Large tax breaks go to millionaires. $15 billion to "Trump accounts."

Jessamyn St. Germain is a deluded train wreck. But she is convinced she will be a star. She just needs to be discovered. And she will do anything to make that happen.
She is luminescent. She is grace. She IS Maria. SHE’S A LAMB!

German national with U.S. green card detained at ICE facility, family says Fabian Schmidt was arrested and interrogated at the Boston airport, according to his mother and partner. They say they don't know why he is being held in an ICE facility.

It’s likely illegal, probably fascist, but it doesn’t matter what color you are at this point; it’s just anti-immigrant:

I’ve seen multiple reports of LEGAL permanent residents being detained or deported based on very dubious claims or basically nothing, many times when going to renew regular immigration paperwork. It’s incredibly disturbing.

It may be his best yet (that’s saying a lot; I love them all)! I happened to have read β€˜The Girls Who Went Away: The Hidden History of Women Who Surrendered Children for Adoption in the Decades before Roe v. Wade’ by Ann Fessler, which he used for source material, many years ago. Emotional read.
