I always hate this feeling.

I know lots of you have strong opinions on this topic, so I hope this will be of interest:

"You are being asked to participate in a survey of romance authors and readers that is being conducted by Prof. Bridget Kies in the Film Studies and Production program at Oakland University."

Oh no. That’s the worst way to watch it. You gotta start at the beginning and be taken for a ride.

Have you seen “Vertigo”? Great flick. And this scene is so fun.

Makes me think of this dialogue exchange from my favorite movie “Vertigo” with Jimmy Stewart. He’s Scottie in this.

That looks like it’s gonna be a tasty dinner.

My first indie film, and protecting your darlings at all costs — Weaver's Deep Thoughts A look back at my first indie film, a cancelled TV show, lessons learned from it all, and how some of those lessons apply to today — especially concerning the publishing industry.

In my newsletter recently, I took a look back at my first indie film, a cancelled TV show, lessons learned from it all, and how some of those lessons apply to today — especially concerning the #publishing industry.

Too many bosses today take the complete opposite approach and put AI over people and their families. If your whole thing as a CEO is screwing over your staff and their families, so you can chase the AI pipe dream, maybe you need to recalibrate yourself.

"Family is more important," George Jones.

Pretty sure this is just Sam Altman code for, "We pirated a bunch of PhD thesis defenses for this version, so that means our AI has the knoweldge of a doctorate now. Praise be."

@vebesterling.bsky.social you will appreciate the above short film.

The party of “support our troops” is now the “fuck them troops” party.

Democrats please put up a fight for those who fought for you.

I think it is but I’m biased. It originated around 2010 as an homage to Universal monster and Hammer Horror films, but it has blossomed into its own thing.

Kalifornia He wakes up in a bed that isn't his, in a home he doesn't recognize and with a face he doesn't know. This science fiction short film is an experiment…

Just discovered this #ShortFilm I made is 19 years old today.

It’s a #scifi #thriller and later I was developing it into a rather cool student mini-series for Missouri S&T but it didn’t work out. It’s atmospheric and gritty.

That’s where I’m kinda at. The story I’m working on is a gothic horror piece set in Victorian England about a vampire. It also mixes gothic horror and gothic romance tropes. But I’m trying to build the plot around some real-world women’s rights (or lack thereof) at the time.

Check it out. Not check out.

When I was a young adult, my dad kept having heart attacks and was constantly in and out of the hospital. My boss never worried or complained when I informed him I had to bail on work, he would just stop me, and say, "Family is more important."

Be that boss. Be the boss who puts families first.

Sup.

I do like giving stories away. Facts.

32! I have 32 fingers! OH NO!
