If you're going to #AFF gather 'round for a chat about keeping our BIPOC, trans, and women as safe as possible in Texas.
1) there is a grassroots effort to strategize walking each other back to hotels at night. Let's do this in groups of 3s.

Historical film research doesn't pair well with AI. Plus, primary sources are really cool. If you're researching film history for your script, I recommend Lantern, @archive.org, ProQuest, and Copyright records. #hollywoodhistory #filmhistory #scriptsky

When I was 10, a movie was filmed at my babysitter's high school. She was a background extra, but she wasn't in the final cut. Anyway, sometimes I still watch that movie for fun. That movie was 10 Things I Hate About You. ❤️ #scriptsky
