And another bit of news for my pilot AMERICAN RUBBER - it has moved on to the Semifinals of the Creative Screenwriting Pilot competition! Extremely grateful and excited for this super fun dramedy. Hopefully, it will continue onwards!

A nice bit of news for a point I wrote. AMERICAN RUBBER has made the quarter-finals for the Creative Screenwriting Pilot competition! Here's hoping it continues up the ladder.

There is an actor on sm with whom I have a couple of loose connections. I don't have a literary agent or manager, so going through their reps would most likely be fruitless. Is there an acceptable way to approach them about a project I wrote with them in mind without invading their online space?

Just to be clear, being head of the Department of Homeland Security has apparently become a casting call for a reboot of DUMB AND DUMBER.

When GOP/MAGA assaults LGBTQTIA+ rights/women's rights/BIPOC rights, Dems/Progressives should: 1) Say ONE SENTENCE defending the rights of that group by name - ONCE 2) Shift to how the GOP/MAGA is attacking that group's HUMAN rights and rights as an AMERICAN CITIZEN. 3) REPEAT STEP 2

I want to thank @turnipfilms.bsky.social for some great thoughts on my short film screenplay. Looking forward to diving back into it! The Boston area has some great filmmakers on here. Let's be better about being connected and building that community. Stay warm and dry, everyone!

General question for anyone with genuine, studio experience: when is it OK to use the phrase "inspired by a true story?" Meaning, how far afield ft from the actual events can you go, and still make that connection?

Hey all! Anyone interested in swapping scripts? I've got a half-hour dramedy that's in pretty good shape. But that's through my eyes and some fresh eyes might be able to see where I can tighten, raise the stakes, clarify character, etc. DM me here!

He's brutally honest & 100% right. We need to create a real plan to counter the destruction wrought by Project 2025 with actions to take, Executive Orders to issue, and legislation to enact ON DAY ONE AFTER THE REMOVAL OF THE CURRENT OCCUPIER OF THE WHITE HOUSE! www.facebook.com/share/r/1Cig...

@kaine.senate.gov , I appreciate your desire to help federal workers in your state. However, your vote will allow healthcare to be stripped from so many more of your constituents, especially those in the western and southwestern part of your state and across the nation. Please vote NO on cloture.

If you live outside a state/city & comment on what Dem in that state/city is acceptable to you - be circumspect. Dems, unlike the current GOP are rarely one-size-fits-all. Some areas will embrace a Socialist Dem, some a Centrist Dem. We actually ARE a big tent. And ANY Dem beats a Fascist.

@warren.senate.gov - can you please introduce legislation that gives people the right to their own body, facial features, and voice? And another which gives anyone whose work was used to train AI partial ownership of the resulting product. These are such important protections for all citizens.

Buckleystuff @buckleystuff425.bsky.social · 23/10/2025
The GOP rigged the system to pack the SCOTUS. This is why. Destroying the guardrails for protecting American citizens from Corporate malfeasance, repealing the rights of all non-white, non-cis citizens, and installing Autocracy.

Dems! We have primaries! Champion and vote for the candidate you want without abandon! This is your moment to persuade enough people in your party who the best candidate and their platform will best serve your district or state is! BUT IN THE GENERALS, VOTE THE FASCISTS/FASCIST ENABLERS OUT!

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece. It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out. 1/2

This is horrifying. Another call to remove oversight and protections. Can't imagine why the GOP (and Hegseth in particular) would want to make it harder for racists and misogynists to be held to account and punished... (hint: look up the definition of Fascism)

If you do one thing today, PLEASE watch this video from Threads by Charles McBryde. It defines Fascism and explains why Conservatives/The Right Wing are susceptible to the process of Fascism. And that's what it is - a process of political radicalization. www.threads.com/@melaniehenr...

After Stephen Miller and Trump’s speech last night, I hope everyone really listens to this. Because that was the most wild “memorial” I’ve ever witnessed.

This is the playbook, folks. If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away. Do not be quiet in this moment.

Ok. Let's try this once again for those who missed it during the 2016 and the 2024 elections: 1) DURING PRIMARIES: Vote, campaign, post, and argue strongly for the candidate you want to win. 2) DURING THE GENERAL ELECTION: VOTE DEMOCRAT - REGARDLESS OF WHO IT IS - OR WE END UP WITH FASCISM!

I've been talking about this since April. A huge, general strike where NOTHING gets done, NOTHING gets bought other than groceries, NO ONE goes to work other than essential workers (hospital/police/fire dept/schools). And we don't budge until these fascists are gone. Period.
