Screenwriter of rambunctious eloquence. Sometimes comedy, sometimes comedic, sometimes just dramatic. Hard to believe I was a Nicholl Finalist!
Love movies, beer, music, tacos, and floating in a Texas river. BlueSky since 2023.
Occasionally sarcastic.

Ugh. Tuesday was a long dull dreary trudge. Not awful in any notable sense, but just… exhausting.

I keep reading the terrors in the news, but I also keep reading stories about ordinary people doing good and amazing things.
Remember that it is possible to be a lighthouse for somebody else. A shield and a sword.
There is not more good than bad. The bad is just loud.

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."
