Last month I had two in person Pow! screenings across the country from each other on the same day! Thanks to Newport Beach Film Festival for screening us in SoCal at 11am on 10/18, Potlatch Fund for screening us at 8pm Ilani in WA and to my flights for being on time so I could make these events!

I'm in NYC this week, desperately trying to get an invite to Andrew Cuomo's official election night watch party so I can watch him lose in person.

What a cool way to start Native American Heritage Month! Pow qualified for The Academy Awards in the "Best Animated Short" category! Thank you to @animag.bsky.social for including us in their Oscar Watch and for everyone who continues to boost this film. Tell your @theacademyusa.bsky.social friends!

Last weekend I was invited to screen Pow! in front of hundreds of members of my tribe followed by a talkback with Cowlitz culture keeper Suzanne Donaldson. Here’s a selfie we took onstage with our tribe’s chair Bill Iyall. I’m so humbled that I get to do this stuff!

I wrote the Halloween episode of Molly of Denali and in only two weeks, a clip from it has nearly 2 millions views on IG! It’s insane to me that the cuts to PBS robbed us of more seasons of this fun, Native show. People love it and it’s a hit, but that’s not enough I guess?

A lot of people have been asking me how I’m voting in the 2025 Animation Guild elections so I put together this voter’s guide!
Turnout for these elections can be low, but if elected these folks would really help TAG fight hard for animation workers during our next negotiations!

Today @goldie.bsky.social 's book Personal Branding for Introverts is officially out in the world!
If you’re at all someone who struggles with "finding your brand", I recommend picking this book up. It’s written with heart, and in a way that is easy for anyone to understand!

As a Native I’m all for us celebrating Columbus Day, I just wish they moved it from early October to January 9th, the day Columbus and his men maybe had sex with a bunch of manatees which is for real, no joke, detailed in his travel journal. Happy Indigenous Peoples' Day!

I wrote a Molly of Denali episode this season! It’s about Native themed Halloween costumes and how to celebrate a person respectfully. Thanks to Quannah ChasingHorse for letting us use her likeness!
I’m going to miss this show and this team so much.
Molly & PBS Kids forever ❤️

Pow! won Best Indigenous Film at Cordillera International Film Festival last month! It was so fun screening in Reno, hanging with our Remaining Native fam and just absolutely dominating every carnival game at the Circus, Circus midway. Perfect weekend!

A week ago @goldie.bsky.social and I screened Pow! at Catalina Film Festival! Fun island, fun festival and even more fun two hours we spent driving around Avalon in a golf cart looking for cats to pet. Great experience no notes!

I wrote an episode for this season of Alma’s Way! I’m such a fan of Sonia Manzano, Lin-Manuel Miranda and everyone at Fred Rogers and I could not be happier to get to play in their sandbox. They even let me sneak in the flag of the Navajo Nation, which is just neat as heck!

Rubble & Crew just debuted Fire Captain Catáwi, a new Native character inspired by my Cowlitz tribe! Watching Nickelodeon as a kid is a HUGE reason I'm a writer today, so getting to develop this character with the Rubble team and Cowlitz culture keeper Suzanne Donaldson is just so neat!

As a comedy writer, I’ve had a million conversations about cancel culture. Whatever your opinions about it, there’s a huge difference between that, and what the FCC is doing to Jimmy Kimmel.
