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.

This is not legal advice but:
Everyone can now publicly say “Donald Trump is a pedophile.”
Suing for defamation would open him up to discovery and draw more attention. And as a public figure, he must meet a higher standard. He’d have to prove you knew it was false — which you very much don’t.

Can we just take a minute and acknowledge that our POTUS is right OUT IN THE OPEN lobbying Congressional members to vote against releasing the Epstein files?! Like... what the fuck else does anyone even need to know?

Local media is calling it: Katie Wilson will be the next mayor of Seattle.
Wilson ousts Mayor Bruce Harrell after running as a progressive challenger.
Her win is a west coast companion to Mamdani’s as a statement victory for the left.

And now, your #Daily_Awesome:
Grijalva just signed the Epstein discharge petition.
It now has the 218 signatures necessary to start the clock that will, in a few weeks, trigger floor votes on the underlying bill to require release of the full Epstein files.

House Democrats just released emails in which Jeffrey Epstein wrote that Trump had "spent hours at my house" with one of Epstein's victims — among other messages that suggested Epstein believed Trump knew more about his abuse than he has acknowledged. tinyurl.com/5yj3dfpx

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.

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
