I just hope Amazon puts the focus back on classic James Bond storytelling elements. Like the long history of villains that are grossly wealthy, insecure egomaniacs desperate to validate their fragile egos with wild schemes to control the media, governments, and space itself.

A good thing to do if you are flailing a bit right now (as who is not??) is to get in touch with your own values, the things that you find life affirming and necessary in the world. Read some inspiring works about things you value - labor solidarity, scientific achievement, social justice.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

What gets me about Eric Adams is, yeah sure all of this is upsetting, but it's also just pathetic. This is a man who very intentionally broke the law, benefitted from it personally, and has now made an agreement to hurt vulnerable people to save his own skin. Shame is dead, but he should be ashamed.

In 2018, when I moved to NYC I saw a show in the Diamond theatre at the Signature that reminded me that I want to be a sound designer. Today I was an emergency Associate sound designer for a show in the Diamond and next week I’m assistant sound designer for the person who designed that 2018 show.

Director: what you’re doing is really great. I really like what you’ve discovered. Actor: so what’s the note? Director: It’s a compliment Actor: oh yeah I don’t know what to do with those. Gotta love theatre with all of us attention starved folks.

whatever bespoke hypothetical thing you mean by "end social justice practices in the workplace", this version that they mean is the actual, concrete political project confronting labor and the left right now. move accordingly

Off Broadway Stagehands at the Atlantic Theatre unionized a year ago and are STILL trying to get a contract. The theater hired a union busting law firm and would rather cancel shows than bargain in good faith. Solidarity with the striking workers.

I think what's being done to trans people in this country is a FUCKING SCANDAL. It's absolutely an attempt at eradicating trans people from public life and ALL OF US must refuse this. Everyone. Stop being a loser mealy mouth person. This is bullshit. You should say so in all the places you inhabit.

It would be nice to see mainstream media acknowledge that every alarmist in their ranks about Trump and his henchmen has been correct, and every single "Let's all calm down" guy--a posture of blasé detachment that is consistently over-rewarded in legacy media--has called it wrong from day one.

LAT are buying pitches from industry experts with credibility and name recognition and then rewriting the hed and taking out important info so it fits their narrative. I worked for some dogshit outlets with the most craven leadership and even they wouldn't do this.

It’s a sad fact that you never realize how young you were until you aren’t. Then later you realize how young you were when you realized you weren’t. Then eventually you die, obviously, but the moral here is that you are actually young for a really really long time.

A hearty “fuck you” to anyone who moves their own Overton window to accommodate fascism - or just because they’ve always secretly wanted to. I’m looking at the so-called liberals using the R word - you should be fucking ashamed of yourselves.

I feel like there’s not enough attention being paid to the fact that Trump’s trillion dollar funding freeze was an attempt to do McCarthyism via Presidential fiat, & in the name of combatting a phantom force identified solely by a vague propaganda term the right only started using about 5 years ago.

I need more work. My year has started off so slowly and it’s getting way more precarious financially than I like. So if you want a sound design for your theatre shows, I’m your guy. Finding it hard to focus on the self promotion and job seeking part of freelancing amongst gestures wildly.

1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts? Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from. Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!
