"If Tears Were Gold" is almost here! Final cut is in place, score is finished, I'm finalizing sound design, mixing audio and will send it off for color grading this week. Just need $3K-5K for film festival fees.

@keithrosson.bsky.social Coffin Moon was brutal and wonderful. And reminds me so much of the Portland I loved and still love.

Also, I have to ask: was that an intentional footprints in the sand reference towards the end there?

I'm honored that "Becoming Mermaids" has been chosen to screen at the first ever Manzanita Film Festival on Sat, Oct 4th! It's part of an incredible lineup of films, and I can't think of a better venue for @kjirstentornfelt.bsky.social gorgeous aquatic animation than a festival at the coast! 📽🎞🌊

It’s so good!

if Jimmy Kimmel's political humor is too hot for you to handle, I'm not sure "snowflake" even cuts it as a term of derision for the level of fragility you've achieved

My 80-year-old aunt told me she "got tired of streaming" and is borrowing DVDs from her library again.

So I checked it out and they have an amazing selection. Blu-rays too, from Criterion, Kino Lorber and other boutique labels.

It’s ok

during the Wendy Davis protests i entered the capitol building with several female friends. i told the guards i was carrying a concealed firearm and showed them my license. they waved me through without a search.

my friends had their purses checked and their tampons confiscated.

I know it won't happen, but I think we need to start saying "import tax" instead of "tariff".

Beautiful

Stills straight out of the camera from a beautiful short doc I directed & filmed in Seattle last weekend. "Come Back When You're Sick" tells the story of Genetic ALS/FTD advocate Daniel Barvin & his wife Kaori, their journey with genetic ALS/FTD and struggles + triumphs starting a family via IVF. ✨

Two fluffy bunnies, one black and one beige, sit on a white blanket on a tiled floor.

People ask me if I think protesting is "doing anything." I do, for many reasons, but at its simplest, it's doing a hell of a lot more than doing nothing, whining that "someone (else) should do something," or moaning that "there's no use, democracy is doomed." #Indivisible #50501 #FightFascism

Best Friends ☺️

Not that this even matters, but I keep reading about disappeared immigrants who broke not a single law: granted the right to stay by a judge pending asylum determination, paying taxes, and abducted while fulfilling their legal requirement to periodically report in.

People living under fascism didn’t survive by giving up joy—they protected it.

They held onto the things fascism tried to erase: art, friendship, jokes, rituals, language, memory.

Not as escapism but as resistance. As proof they were still human.

Joy isn’t frivolous under fascism. It’s strategic.

Freedom from kings.
Freedom from fascism.
Power to the people forever. ♥️

Happy Independence Day 🇺🇸

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

You know, Europe has lots of Democratic Socialists in their parliaments. Oh and free national healthcare.

This is oligarchy. This is obscene.

While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%.

End this oligarchy.

With everything LA has gone through in the last few months (and couple of years), let's celebrate the hatching of:

TEN CALIFORNIA CONDORS!!!!!!!!!

Congrats to the team at the Los Angeles Zoo!!!

They are taking money from the poor to hand to the rich. Reverse Robin Hood politics. We must reject the “Big Beautiful” Bullshit.

first poppy of the season - poppies are a symbol of peace - let's work for a more just and peaceful world

Dallas, deep red, oil-soaked, and MAGA-aligned is now flooded with anti-Trump protesters. A city once thought untouchable has joined the rebellion. The tide is turning.

Do you know how badly you have to screw up as a Republican to get this kind of turnout in IDAHO?
