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.

Offered for consideration for #TheGreyList:
QUEEN OF THE SKY
When Nazis invade, young Ukrainian flier Lilya Litvyak battles not only the Luftwaffe but also the sexism and bureaucracy of the Soviet system to become history's highest scoring female ace. Then is forgotten. Until now.

Our dog, Cat (the Catahoula mix), just farted so long that we had to stop talking and listen to his extended flute solo, and then choke with laughter for 30 seconds after.
His expression never changed.

All day long I kept thinking about a very stupid idea.
I might spend this evening working on the very stupid idea.

Amen.
A reminder that this anti-trans panic is 100% bullshit and exactly none of our country’s problems are related to someone expressing their gender identity and everyone who isn’t a hate-filled weirdo knows it.

The finale of the great TV comedy show Blackadder goes Forth.
Back then I didn't expect one of the funniest programmes ever to end with a scene that makes me cry every time I see it.

I don’t have a whole lot of advice for people younger than me but the earlier in life you stop worrying about what other people will think and just wholeheartedly enjoy the stuff you like the happier you’ll be
One thing people kind of tell you, but not really, about middle age:
One day you'll be like "oh [thing] looks fun but people will think I'm a loser" about a thing
And then you'll say. Wait a second.
Fuck 'em

Their Texas towns had too much "DEI" and "LGBT indoctrination." So they moved to Russia and became influencers.
They left Texas for Russia to escape 'LGBT indoctrination.' Turns out, it sucks.
