The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

I’ve read too much science fiction too many dystopian novels and too many poems on civil rights to be quiet…

severance truly never fails to be such a masterclass on writing character like how am i sympathizing towards almost everyone (but upper management) at once it's so well done

it really shouldn't be so stressful to reach out to people who are literally already in my network to reconnect....and yet...

binged the second half of paradise on hulu this afternoon and missed the rush of a great fresh new tv show, i'm obsessed

give Jeremy strong that Oscar now

Anti-ICE protesters in California have shut down the 101 freeway in Los Angeles marching towards City Hall.

I've built a machine that can be Confidently Wrong. It can also make pictures that all look a bit the same, as well as make a video of you kissing any celebrity or person you know. In payment, I'd like to boil the world's oceans dry, & steal all literature. For some reason, my head is not on a spike

Weird that we have to say this, but the government doesn’t get to decide what gender a person is.

if you aren't watching severance yet WHAT are you doing run don't walk!!!

David Lynch gave us the language we needed to better articulate the indescribable strangeness of our shared reality. “Lynchian” is so overused because it’s a viscerally understandable word without any known synonyms. I can’t imagine a more beautiful artistic legacy than that.

very excited to announce my first published work 'Westbind' is up in Grim & Gilded now! check it out and all the other amazing writers and artists, so glad to be in such great company :)

literally spent almost the whole day outlining a new story and my brain STILL wants to call the day a wash and act like i wasted my day away smh 🙄

just got out of interstellar in imax and i simply cannot believe anyone dislikes that movie sorry

i love you libraries i love you museums i love you botanical gardens i love you public parks i love you art galleries

Every time I read about banning books, I think of this:

Reading a book with a gay character will not make you gay any more than reading a book about Einstein will make you a genius.
If you're afraid that books might change someone's thinking, you're not afraid of books — you're afraid of thinking.

does my writing have a specific and distinct voice (positive) or does everything i write sound the same (negative): the eternal question i ask myself

meme from Parks and Rec of Ron Swanson with white text that says "I know more than you."

being a girl alone in the gaming dept at best buy got me feeling like ron swanson every time

truly being so brave and fighting the urge to spend my entire holiday weekend playing Control 🫡

a fun surprise for this morning, my feature script advanced to the quarterfinalists for Screencraft's horror competition!! feeling very validated as a writer lol

If you don’t want to read Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein together by the fireplace whilst sharing a vintage bottle of Sauvignon Blanc in an abandoned château in the French countryside during a raging snowstorm, then please don’t tell me you’re “down for a good time”.

prepping to GM my first big party ttrpg (a 5 person kids on bikes game) and there's truly nothing more satisfying then seeing the connections between each pc that they came up with completely separately...they don't even know the narrative GIFTS they're giving me i stg

you ever get a little too close to the sun when worldbuilding a story and suddenly you're finding lore on your doc that you don't remember coming up with?? like i'm sorry this character has a NAME since when???

You know how like 20 years ago showrunners gave new writers a shot and hired staff writer level people and like guided them through the levels of writing for tv and stuff? Is anyone doing that now? Because back then I was in middle school but now I’d like to be having that

This is how you become a writer: just pick one of the things that is deeply wrong with you. Make it a character. Now send it on a self-help journey or try to kill it. Now call it a book.

finally having the motivation to watch tv shows again after months of not watching anything it's like my own personal pilot season

sunday night writes 💫🐴 this is part of another new flash fiction series by me called #westbind . . sorry to tt for a 2 min long video of my face im sure this will go well . . . #writer #writtenbyme... TikTok video by kellie

i guess probably posting at 8pm on a sunday night and using words like "kill" in a 2 min vid of just my fave is probably working against me but new flash fiction just dropped on tt: www.tiktok.com/t/ZTYNYWaNt/

The Handmaid's Tale is a good book. But did you know that there's a book written by a Black woman about a post-apocalyptic Earth heavily affected by climate change and societal decline. The book was published in 1993, but is set in 2024 following a presidential election 👀 #BookSky #BlackBookSky

i hate wasting a whole day off not writing at all so hey at least i wildly cranked out a few words at 10:30pm that counts right lol
