Hey women who have been called "rude" and "volatile" by clients/co-workers when in actuality you are being direct communicators who assert themselves when necessary: I respect you. I love you. I wish I had more of you in my life.

I'll never forget his smile 😔 I encourage everyone to watch the 2021 documentary, VAL. Willow, Thunderheart, The Saint -- if you haven't yet, watch them. And he steals every scene he's in, in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.

I think Val Kilmer was almost too good. He could be funny, quirky, heroic, villainous. A character actor with leading man looks. He was made to be a show-stealer. Here's something I wrote a while ago about Doc Holliday and Johnny Ringo being perfect rivals. johnnycompton.com/perfect-riva...

"The gentle pop when I remove Mr. Beauregard’s eye from its socket is comforting to my ears." Yes, The Summer I Ate the Rich IS exactly how it sounds! This YA Haitian Zombie horror from @maikamoulite.bsky.social and @maritzamoulite.bsky.social arrives April 22: reactormag.com/excerpts-the...

When you look at the list of institutions they want to defund: libraries, museums, the Smithsonian, public schools, PBS, NPR, archives, you can clearly see that the real threat to an authoritarian regime is an informed and educated public

Stormie Thank you everyone for voting on which color scheme to go with :)

Not surprised that it's community colleges that are fighting back. Community colleges serve the greatest number of people facing systemic barriers. A large percentage of community college students are the first in their family to attend college.

Brilliant photographer Chandra Wicke is kickstarting her amazing project The Happily Ever After Society, which will feature interviews and photographs with some of your favorite authors as well as photo essays of scenes from your favorite romance novels! 💕 www.kickstarter.com/projects/cha...

Also, here's my annual plea to producers and filmmakers: please, please, PLEASE make more R-rated women-led buddy comedies. Please! 1-2 a year in theaters is NOT enough. If you make them, I promise we'll show up. One of Them Days, Bottoms, Joy Ride, Plan B, Girls Trip

My first 2025 movie: ONE OF THEM DAYS. The perfect movie to see at the theater to chase away the winter blues (and other blues, if only for 100 minutes). A lot of laughs. A lot of heart. Good times.

It’s been inspiring to see everyone come together for LA,,, but there’s one community I need to highlight. Not enough is being done for the black families after the LA fires. Ive partnered up with GoFundMe and the BMAC to create ONE main GoFundMe campaign to immediately help those in need. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

"Vulnerable people don’t need a sea of reactivity right now. They need caring groups of people who are working together to create as much safety as they can. We need to create a rebellious culture of care." Important piece by @mskellymhayes.bsky.social! organizingmythoughts.org/a-brutal-beg...

I am also a Black author and you should read my book. I'm dope.
