I love writing in coffee shops because I have trouble concentrating if I'm not overhearing the stupidest person in the world talk to the second stupidest person in the world.

Recent pearl of wisdom I can’t stop thinking about:

Me: You know nobody tells you that, postpartum, your boobs will hurt even when OTHER peoples’ kids cry. Or kids on TV!

Friend: Wow. If that’s not proof that we’re meant to live in community together and help each other, I don’t know what is…

Is there a way to mute cat photos on this app?

Forever

anyone else up ruminating about a childhood nemesis or are you normal?

Today in James Baldwin already said it: “The children are always ours, every single one of them, all over the globe; and I am beginning to suspect that whoever is incapable of recognizing this may be incapable of morality.”

I haven’t gotten any ICEblock alerts the last few days. Yall ARE on ICEblock and reporting any ICE activity you see, right? (As well as contacting Union del Barrio, if in the Los Angeles area)

it’s free and doesn’t collect any identifying data. and you can make it not use up battery at home.

Supposedly red light is better for their circadian rhythm, but it’s giving Rosemary’s Baby…

Not sure who needs to hear this, but it’s totally normal if The Last of Us makes you even more afraid to scrub your shower. 🫧🍄‍🟫🍄🧫🔬

Reminder: the First Amendment protects everyone who resides in our country. It doesn't matter if you have a green card or a visa or if you're undocumented. The Supreme Court has repeatedly affirmed that any person residing in the United States, regardless of status, is entitled to 1A protections.

Schumer: Step aside

Definitely don't take 30 seconds to use this simple tool to send an email to every Democratic Senator urging them to call for new leadership.

This Sunday, the whole country needs to spring forward from 1939.

trans people need you, *i* need you, to tell Newsom exactly what you think of him saying trans Californians (in a trans! sanctuary! state!) aren’t worth protecting

OUR FIGHTS FOR BODILY AUTONOMY ARE INTERTWINED

Sepsis in the 2nd trimester is up 50% in TX

is intertwined w/trans healthcare access being cut off & passports seized

is intertwined with rollbacks putting more lead in drinking water

is intertwined with stripping disability rights

#SOLIDARITY

DOGE is like if Fyre Festival was a government agency.

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS IN CASE OF ICE: CONOCE TUS DERECHOS EN CASO DE ENCUENTRO CON ICE:

DO NOT OPEN YOUR DOOR. ICE cannot enter your home without a warrant signed by a judge. Tell the agents to show you the warrant by sliding it under the door. NO ABRAS TU PUERTA. ICE no puede entrar a tu casa sin una orden firmada por un juez. Diles a los agentes que te muestren la orden deslizándola debajo de la puerta.

ASK THEM TO LEAVE. If ICE doesn't have a warrant, tell them you do not consent for them to enter your home and ask them to leave. At work, ICE cannot enter employee-only areas without permission. 2 PÍDALES QUE SE VAYAN. Si ICE no tiene una orden judicial, diles que no das tu consentimiento para que entren a tu casa y pídeles que se vayan. En el trabajo, ICE no puede ingresar a áreas exclusivas para empleados sin permiso.

REMAIN SILENT. You have the right to remain silent. If the agents ask you questions, tell them, "I wish to remain silent." PERMANECE EN SILENCIO. Tienes derecho a permanecer en silencio. Si los agentes te hacen preguntas, diles: "Deseo permanecer en silencio".

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.

EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

Here it is. For your consideration, my hour-long supernatural dramedy with quippy dialogue deemed "too funny for a drama" by Austin Film Fest. ✨WITCHY AF✨ writers.coverfly.com/projects/vie...

While I'm currently unrepped, I'm a WGA West member, and I've staffed multiple times. I'd LOVE to get eyes on this script for staffing consideration and/or potential new reps. It's been a little bleak out here since the strike... 🙃

LONG SHOT: A while back, I wrote a sample specifically for the long-awaited Buffy reboot. Now that the Chloe Zhao/Sarah Michelle Gellar pilot has been announced, I'd be remiss not to put myself out there. I follow so many talented genre writers here; perhaps the universe will throw me a bone!
