Here is BIRTHDAY CAKE, my first short film as director/writer/producer. This was an experiment to tell a story with minimal resources. I'm so happy that we had an all-women crew & over half of everyone involved in the film's creation were Women Of Colour. Let me know what you think after you watch 🍰

Per WSJ, U.S. negotiations with Iran were actually a cover to buy time for Israel's attack. Would you ever enter into negotiations with the U.S. knowing this?
In Twist, U.S. Diplomacy Served as Cover for Israeli Surprise Attack
U.S. talks with Iran, widely seen as important for regional peace, gave Israel an opportunity to strike.

“One Israeli official told state broadcaster Kan that Israel had coordinated with Washington ahead of the attacks and suggested recent newspaper reports of a rift between Trump and Netanyahu over Iran had been a ruse to lull the Tehran leadership into a false sense of security.”
After years of waiting, Israel's Netanyahu finally makes his move on Iran
Iran once ridiculed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as the boy who cried wolf for his constant public warnings about Tehran's nuclear programme, and his repeated threats to shut it down, one way or another.

For the past few months I've been fortunate to take part in the Justice For My Sister 🪐 Sci-Fi TV Writing Lab 🌌 with an incredible cohort of likeminded fellow BIPOC writers who are as obsessed with Octavia E Butler as they are with The Matrix. I'll be going onto a phase two of the Lab next!

I wrote about Kendrick Lamar Superbowl performance-- its subversive messaging about America being a rigged, deadly game of survival-- especially for Black people.

But we need to stop pretending revolution is going to come from celebrities. It'll come from us.

His message at the Super Bowl was a warning and a threat.

To clarify: Ford UN-cancelled the Starlink contract as soon as the tariffs were "paused".

The other bidder for this contract was Canadian, fyi.

Call, call, call!
Are you looking for concrete action? I know I always am.

Call Doug Ford’s office and tell him Canadian tax dollars should not be spent wildly overpaying for Elon Musk’s Starlink.
