While I have a profile here and will pop in every so often and of course, I don’t think I’ll ever give up Twitter, looks like Threads is more aligned with what I want on social. So, if you’re there, say hi. It’s very diverse in thoughts, cultures, and interests:

Today was the last session of the #FabSix Fall/Winter 2025 #writersgroup.

We’ve met every other week since the pandemic: 10 sessions per season. While three writers moved on, three of our OGs remain.

I haven't posted anything about my personal health news because I was waiting to complete procedure #1. Now that it’s done and I’m waiting for the results and next steps, I'm asking for a little 🙏 if you have it in your heart. Thank you ❤️

Listen, I don’t expect everyone to be out on the frontlines protesting. BUT, if you’re whyte, call yourself a bleeding-heart liberal, and all you’re doing is griping about this administration without defending the rights of undocumented people, you’re not helping...

Opposing MAGA isn’t racism: it’s resistance to a movement rooted in xenophobia, white supremacy, and policies that actively harm communities like mine. If someone feels attacked by that, maybe they should examine why.

I can’t say this enough: Screenwriters, shadow a real film set. Also a student set.
You’re welcome.

Thinking of those of us that do not talk to our mothers or have a fraught relationship with them:
Please do something nice for yourself today. ❤️

My theater experience @ #sinners — I noticed the tamale shop (Latinos did exist in the south!), inclusion of Asian and Indigenous folks, the music (past, present and future number was 🤌🤌🤌), the car/blues scenes was heart wrenching, the women/female “vampires” being “eve’s,” and so much, much more…

Y'all have no idea how important it is to be a Foodie and/or follow restaurant news when planning "meetings." Oh, and anything planned in the 90210 screams of showing off. And not in a good way. #Filmmaker #writerdirector

When a fellow creative trusts my process and it’s proven to work 🤌🤌🤌

I just love when folks say “only ‘professionals’ that work in the industry know what they’re talking about.” 😅
Now, granted, people that are no where near adjacent probably aren’t worth listening to, but ‘union creed’ only means you were required to join or had enough hours to join to union.
