Maybe if we leave out a cup of tea, Earl Grey, hot tonight Captain Picard will show up to save us. πŸ––πŸ»

This is my serious, "I am headed to a protest" face. πŸ˜†

Mom: "I found some old photos of yours in a file. Do you want them?" Me, expecting pics of parties, college, trips: "Yes!" These are the photos. 😳 Why I have a Kenny Rogers headshot is beyond me, and I couldn't name one Herman's Hermits song. The 3rd pic makes sense. I was a big Highlander fan. 😬

- Conclave cost $20m - The Substance* cost $18m - The Brutalist cost $10m - Anora cost $6m - Flow cost €3.5m - A Real Pain cost $3m - I’m Still Here cost $1.48m Really good Oscar year for modest and low budget indies

Oscar night always makes me think of how, in 1945, Billy Wilder was so salty he didn't win for Double Indemnity, he stuck out his foot and tripped Best Director winner Leo McCarey as McCarey rushed to the stage to accept his award for Going My Way. Poor form from Wilder, but it does make me cackle.

I have this big urge to turn my Christmas rom-com feature into a novel. I'm through act one on the script, and it's going well, so this is not that avoidance thing that can happen when the writing feels like a slog. I just really think I want to do this as a novel...

He was performing for his boss.

Telling me you voted for this clown show is the political equivalent of telling me you stepped in dog doo and showing me the bottom of your shoe. πŸ‘‘πŸ’©

Am I using Bluesky wrong? My feed is like 90% reposts/replies of other people's posts or article links, script read links, contest links, read this movie review links...visually it's like scrolling through endless billboards. Does nobody want to just update me about what they had for lunch?

I went to put on my sports bra for a workout this morning, and a chocolate chip fell out of it, if anyone's wondering how my life is going.

The person in my household putting the toilet roll on the wrong way apparently doesn't grok how close to the edge I already am....πŸ˜…

Add Resident Alien to the list of shows I'd love to write for. The humor is so up my alley!

Podcast pilot is DONE in a first draft sort of way. I am well-pleased with it though. Confession: I'm not a "shitty first draft" person. I like my 1st drafts to at least be able to get up and walk around the room on their own legs, even if wobbly. #scriptsky

I've started unfollowing people who post *nothing* but doom in the face of many of us doing many things. I get it, things are rough right now - welcome to history - but after a certain point, your doom feels fetish-y.

I've been watching my way through the Best Pic, Best Screenplay and Best Adapted Screenplay films. So far: ANORA: Loooved. CONCLAVE: Loved. THE SUBSTANCE: Good watch, disliked the ending. EMILIA PEREZ: Not for me, DNF. SEPT 5: Solid film. A REAL PAIN: Yes & no. SING SING: Aces. Just aces. #filmsky

I love my little country library so much I'm having my marketing and publicity headshots taken there tomorrow. I feel like the librarian ladies are my co-pilots, they tracked down all kinds of books and information for me during my research stages. #scriptsky

Art and making art as resistance are necessary and worthy and something I am doing. However sometimes history also requires is to put down our typewriters for a minute and put up our dukes instead. Being creatives doesn't absolve us of doing our share of the uglier resistance work.

Great chat with my manager today! It's lovely when your manager is as excited about your projects and career as you are. #writersky

Might fuck around and make my love for Carrie Coon my whole personality.

Busy day of protesting and writing and now a bit of baking. I am woman, hear me roar. πŸ˜†

If it all gets to be too much take a deep breath and watch the scene from Friends where Ross is in the bathroom fighting with his leather pants. πŸ‘– Trust me, it helps.

We're going to the protest on Monday and you can tell we're middle-aged because the thing we've been fretting about most is the parking situation. πŸ˜†

My husband has revealed he never saw Bridget Jones's Diary but is "open to it" so guess what we are watching after The Pitt tonight?

I've been titrating off anxiety meds since April (COVID left me with soul-destroying anxiety for about a year, happily I have healed) and I *thought* my timing was good but to be coming off the last tiny bit while democracy burns has been...hoooo boy. πŸ˜‚

Sparkle! It annoys them. ✨

I may not be able to do anything hugely impressive in this current situation but what I can do is vow to spend the next four years or however long it takes being Bugs Bunny to their Elmer Fudd. I will trip you up in 1000 small ways when and where I can.

I’m going to need democracy to hold till the season finale of The Pitt airs. (I come from a long line of women who use humor to cope.)

Me with ER and The Good Wife in 2022-23. πŸ₯³

When these idjits are perp walked out of the White House I am going to go shrieking around the neighborhood waving my arms like I just got called for the Showcase Showdown.

A cold but beautiful New England morning. My first thing walks in the chilly winter give me life.

Well I've had a lovely, social media free and news-lite weekend. I wrote, baked, watched Outlander, and rested for another busy week ahead. I have so much writing and writing adjacent work to do but I'm not complaining. I wanted a busy creative life and I have it. ☺️ #scriptsky

If anyone needs a distraction, I am so far enjoying this new podcast. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/r...

The logline for my pilot MAGICAL NEGRO: In pre-Civil War Philadelphia, a rebellious Black man, who is a personified good luck charm, runs afoul of powerful city officials and must survive the bullet-riddled consequences if his thriving Black community is to persist. #scriptsky

I DID IT! I made my phone calls to my reps! I haaaaate the phone and need a G&T* now but I made the calls! *I don't drink so by G&T I mean a slice of my homemade English toasting bread slathered with Kerry Gold butter and some Trader Joe's peanut butter. 😬
