I do research for movies and archive movies and write books and screenplays but mostly I just cry a lot. SWERFs and TERFs fuck off.
My resolution for this year was to Get Somewhere with my writing, which has meant more queries that are more focused and subsequently way more emotionally taxing rejections.

Open letter to our Senators:
Gentlemen, Ladies, we don't really care about ICE not getting even more funding. We don't care about more "training" and more rules they won't follow.
We want ICE de-funded. Dismantled. Gone. Driven out of our cities.

This but it’s being a novelist.
The notion that, in order to have even a shot at a filmmaking career, I need to build and maintain a massive tiktok channel is so deeply depressing.

Zadie Smith and Ian McEwan among 380 writers and groups to call Gaza war ‘genocide’
Letter also signed by Hanif Kureishi and Russell T Davies urges ceasefire and unrestricted distribution of aid
Three hundred and eighty writers and organisations including Zadie Smith, Ian McEwan, Russell T Davies, Hanif Kureishi, Frank Cottrell-Boyce and George Monbiot have signed a letter stating that the Israeli government’s war in Gaza is genocidal and calling for an immediate ceasefire.
“The use of the words ‘genocide’ or ‘acts of genocide’ to describe what is happening in Gaza is no longer debated by international legal experts or human rights organizations,” reads the letter, which was also signed by William Dalrymple, Jeanette Winterson, Brian Eno, Kate Mosse, Irvine Welsh and Elif Shafak.

A fun fact is I had one, ONE film school professor who taught us this, rather than the racist made up malarkey. We watched Oscar Mischaux instead of Griffith, and I was a big fan.
DW Griffith directed BIRTH OF A NATION (1915), a virulently racist film (and neither his first nor his last one of those) that saw racist violence follow wherever it was screened.
So, naturally, there are film bros and gals who think we should "ignore the racism" and keep it in the canon.

I forgot I had this thing but tbh this is as good as any other place to post that we’re moving back to the US. The ship is obviously going down but if I can sit in a lifeboat alone or swim back and maybe bail out a boat with my family on it, I know which I’m opting for.

We're doing a 'freedom to read' event and Harry Potter was on the list of suggested books to read, and I've been loudly advocating for people not to. Read a book not by a hateful bigot. Please.
The fact that I still see ANYONE, but especially gay book people, talk about Harry Potter or any of Joanne’s stuff in bookish places still baffles me. I understand personal connections to stories. Enjoy them on your own if you still can. Don’t give her public promotion though. Pretty basic. #BookSky

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last.
Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

I also had a schmuck on Letterboxd say I had the worst taste in movies he had ever seen when I said the Eggers Nosferatu movie wasn't good, and honestly? I now have a goal: have the taste in movies that make neckbeards on the internet mad.

Related: I don't understand why every major streamer does not have a "New" tab on its homepage with every recent original addition listed in order from newest to, say, a month ago. These algorithm-obsessed companies are still failing their subscribers on the most basic level of customer service.
I'm seeing a lot of posts expressing shock that a prestigey new film adaptation of August Wilson's The Piano Lesson just quietly went up on Netflix, and it's a good reminder that awards-buzz hype and commentary remains a very specific bubble that never reaches a huge number of movie lovers.

The studio that made this released some numbers. They had to produce 85 minutes of footage to find 15 usable seconds for this ad.

I'm wondering at what point I just #selfpublish and move on with my life. I have two nice smutty #historical #fiction books and I can't get anybody to consider them. But self publishing kinda feels like giving up.
