Something just occurred to me. I have tried to avoid it for most of my time writing, but the more I do this, the more I have to soberly acknowledge that I am always going to have a political agenda in my screenwriting. There is no avoiding it. #scriptsky #scriptsky+

Kristi Noem calling the victim’s actions “domestic terrorism” is propaganda. Full stop. I served as a White House homeland security advisor. I know what that designation means & when it’s misused. A U.S. citizen is dead. She was a mom. This is what ICE impunity looks like. It cannot be normalized.
This Was Inevitable. And It Is Unforgivable. ICE Owns This.
A warning ignored. A life lost. This cannot become routine.

This is a really informative thread. I’ve only recently started to take the #scriptsky thread seriously. You all have been an amazing anchor for me as I’ve started my New Year’s resolutions, most of them writing-related.
Ok - it's been a minute since I've done a 'finding your way around Bluesky for screenwriters' post - so I'm going to shamelessly hop on the opportunity to do it again (yay to excuses for procrastination!)
Hello, folks. X really sucks these days. I’m wanting to switch to this app, but there isn’t much engagement here. Maybe I’m doing it wrong.

Don't forget folks: allowing yourself a vision of the future you'd want for our country and planet - not the one you'd settle for, not the one you fear, but the future of your dreams - isn't naive, it's a vital cognitive skill. That's how we articulate what we most value. What's worth fighting for.
Instead of whatever this is, we should have a government getting lots of new homes and apartments built, lots of clean energy built, lots of high speed rail and transit and bike lanes built, human rights for everyone, economic & healthcare opportunities for all, & innovation that leads the world.

While Tolkien himself wasn’t a fan of filmmaking (or screenwriting), his prose is why I fell in love with storytelling. The beauty in human flaws, like Frodo being tempted by the Ring again and again, is why I wanted to tell stories at all. #scriptsky

I am so happy for my friends in New York. Now that promised change is going to be assessed, but so far, Zohran’s term is off to a stellar start.

Part of my New Year’s (and birthday) resolution is to stop giving a shit. You can’t fight the waves. You’re never going to win. But you can let the coolness of the water restore you and entrance you for a heartbeat. That’s my #scriptsky resolution as well when it comes to just writing in my voice.

Fantastic rule. Applicable to screenwriting and life.
I do a little litmus test. I have the dream once, it’s happenstance. I can’t stop thinking about it or I dream about it again, that’s a coincidence. I think about it a third time, it’s a pattern and time to act.

I have a standing rule that if I dream about changing something in a script, I have to make that change. You don't reason with the muse!

The correlation between companies named after the Tolkien legendarium and their CEO/Founder being a chittering skinwalker fingering his own taint at the idea of draining the planet of all its resources and then fucking off to a sealed dome in New Zealand while everyone else suffers is extremely high

Perform empathy. Please. Perform the fuck out of it. It's so good to act with kindness. I hope it penetrates to a place where you feel it, too, but if you must act some way, act the right way. I'm not here to judge your authenticity, I just want you to be kind, thoughtful, and mortified by meanness.

Not a New Yorker. I don’t reside there. I’m not anywhere near it. But believe me when I say, as a Lebanese person who loves my New Yorker friends and has also been affected by genocide, I wish for the very best that #Mamdani has to offer for all humanitarian causes. May his promises become reality.

Getting the privilege to read and learn from your loglines meant more to me than anything tonight. For those I just met, don’t be a stranger. I’d love to keep in touch for swaps (and future ones too), or anything else!

A woman unlucky in love gets a second chance with her HS crush after a botched love spell accidentally summons his animated severed head on her doorstep.
