If you are in Chicago go to this meeting. Bring someone with you. Shannon Downey is a force of nature.

227 and The Golden Girls premiered on the same night September 1985. Only now realizing they have the same female dynamic.

sassy lead: Mary (Dorothy) funny senior: Pearl (Sophia) sweet one: Rose (Rose)
sexy one: Sandra (Blanche)

Good binge. Highly recommend!
Four women are gathered in a cozy living room. One woman in a red blouse and black pants stands with her hands on her hips. Next to her, another woman in a purple off-the-shoulder dress and black belt holds papers and smiles. A woman in a mustard-yellow outfit sits on a chair holding sheets of paper, looking toward the others. Another woman, dressed in a striped blouse and purple pants, sits on the couch glancing upward. Bookshelves, plants, and framed artwork decorate the room.

Screenshot of a Variety article excerpt. The article describes the film "Bembé" by Ferrer, which follows a bandless Merengue bandleader navigating the 1980s Latin Music scene in New York. It emphasizes the theme of needing others to succeed. The film, set to shoot in Hancock Park, stars Rafael Castillo, Lex Lumpkin, Vico Ortiz, Nathaly Navarro, Mauro Castillo, Fernando Huc, and Carlos El Grande. Two behind-the-scenes photos from the set of the film Bembé. The top image shows members of the cast and crew posing together indoors. From left to right: Mauro Castillo in a security guard uniform, Vico Ortiz in a patterned dress shirt, Fernando Huc in a white suit, Rafael Castillo in a blue shirt, writer/director Zayre Ferrer wearing a face mask and green coveralls, Nathaly Navarro holding a script, and Lex Lumpkin holding a trumpet. The bottom image features Carlos El Grande in a silver suit, performing on stage with La Orquesta Bembé—including a bassist, pianist, and percussionist—against a sparkling red curtain. Film equipment is partially visible in the foreground.

Happy Flag Day, everyone! Fly a flag of chosen family and chaotic love today! 🏴‍☠️❤️ #OFMD
Two men sit at a dimly lit table. One, wearing a white wig and colonial attire, holds up a crudely stitched flag depicting a large black cat hunched with its back arched and claws extended. The other man, dressed in a white shirt and a blue headband, looks unimpressed. The scene has a historical and comedic tone.

In the last 48 hours, we did something incredible. We made BEMBÉ. Every one of you brought your full selves. Thank you for believing in this story and bringing it to life with so much care and heart. This film is ours now. I can’t wait to share it. ❤️ Zayre

Behind the scenes on the set of the short film BEMBÉ. The director, Zayre Ferrer, watches a trumpet player’s, Alex J Sherman, close-up on a monitor under red stage lights. The director is seated wearing a mask, surrounded by cables and equipment, fully focused on the screen. On the set of the short film BEMBÉ, two people, Zayre Ferrer and Vico Ortiz, smile for the camera. One wears a mask, glasses, and a green jumpsuit, holding a cane. The other sports a colorful patterned shirt and turquoise pants, radiating joy. Crew and equipment are visible in the background. A quiet moment captured on the set of the short film BEMBÉ, before filming began. Two people, Zayre Ferrer and Yvonne Zima, sit on a red carpeted floor, gathered around a glowing lamp, with a low ceiling overhead. The scene feels warm and intimate, yet is not part of the film itself.

When someone crosses my mind, whether I dream about them or if it’s just been a while, I reach out.
A small hello. A little love.

Because you deserve to know somebody’s thinking of you.

Key & Peele gave us two best friends getting the sillies at such a high level. They were thinking what we were thinking, just way louder. They gave us so many characters and so many jokes we're still discovering more of them all these years later.

Insecure let us be young and foolish. Falling in love, making mistakes but growing all the while. It let us be exquisitely human.
