One day, I’ll stop saying “I’m going to write a book or direct a movie” and I’ll actually do it.
I love my fiance.

The beauty of horror is that it can be so many different things but also- genres are meant to be played with and combined!! Romantasy is no different as a concept than a comedy horror they BLEND

An interesting notion to have scheduling conflicts when the entire summer was spoken for let alone when you expected to be occupied with being unhinged in the Big Brother House today and that abruptly got cancelled. 🤷♂️

It’s 2025, but it feels like 2020 all over again.
Rising cases. Silent spread. Weak surveillance. A dangerously slow response.
We've seen this before hesitation, denial, and then chaos. The clock is ticking. Will we act in time?

Regarding book bans:
Prohibition only ever leads to demand. Demand leads to sales, because the quickest way to make someone do something is to tell them they can't. Keep your head up and write. Or as the sages say, "Build it, and they will come." By all means, fight, but know we'll outlast this.

So I made the change to lower my screen time by around 2 hours a day by reading a book.
So now instead of doom scrolling endlessly I go read a book and I feel 100x better for it 💛
You should try it, you don't have to read but honestly lowering your screen time is worth it

Just finished THE BRUTALIST and oh boy, what a film. The first half is the greatest cinematic achievement of 2024. The back half is still amazing, yet not quite as strong and it definitely fumbled the very ending.
Still highly recommend! 9/10

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.
Opportunities are everywhere.
Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉
