"Sometimes you don't survive in whole. Just in part. But the grandeur of life is that attempt. Being as fearless as one can and behaving as beautifully as one can under impossible circumstances." -Toni Morrison

Do you like cryptids, urban legends, and local folklore? I do, so much that I decided to make a movie about them. Check it out:

The biggest coup that American capitalists ever pulled off was convincing everyone that they were obligated to pay for things like healthcare and education but that they were entitled to art for free.

I am so fucking sick of seeing that faux-punchy "not X, not Y—Z" ChatGPT slop-writing everywhere I look. It's EVERYWHERE, and it's rapidly teaching my brain that written words on the internet are just "visual noise" and should automatically be ignored. (1/3)

struck by this clip of Josh Johnson standup: he doesn't really develop the theme, no real punchlines. he just says what people have been complaining about re: The Odyssey and everyone laughs for *3 minutes* because a professional comedian *could not improve upon it* www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKcv...

It is genuinely bizarre that we’ve become acclimatized to right wingers throwing a tantrum every time a black person (particularly a black woman) is cast in something, but are also supposed to pretend that this is not racism but related to some other substantive concern.

The little girl was still in Bluey pajamas.

No older than 3, she was trying to smell the flowers.

At her side, a pink rolling bag.

Her father, Joan Sebastian Guerrero, had just been fatally shot and yanked from a car he’d been driving. Now, he lay handcuffed in the street, where he would remain for five hours.

“You took her dad, you took her dad!” a woman nearby yelled, according to Cecelia Humiston, 22, who witnessed the interaction in Biddeford on Monday morning.

Absolutely astonishing that in 2026 my credit card company can see me charging things at the *airport* and then still conclude I must be doing fraud when I try to check into a hotel because it’s far away from my house. Why do you think I was at the airport.

It's fascinating to get older and realize how many characters in 80's and 90's movies were holocaust survivor-coded and I was just too Catholic and homeschooled to notice before.

I just spent an amazing but very full weekend opening River Maid and pitching our feature film at Dances With Films: LA. I'm incredibly grateful for the opportunity. That being said, my plane landed after midnight and it's a full work day. Unless you have coffee in hand, approach with caution.

It makes me feel ashamed of my emotional immaturity sometimes, this failure to accept the fact of her absence. Death is the great, looming fact, wholly indifferent to our objections. The men who seek to overcome it are fish-faced zillionaire oligarchs who think mortality is for the little people.

There’s no wrong way to grieve. Over and over, they tell us this. It’s true, I guess, in the sense that no central grief regulatory body is going to sanction me for how I’m going about it. No poster will go up bearing my face and the words “DO NOT ALLOW THIS MAN TO GRIEVE.” (Where would they even put it?) But in another sense, there’s no right way to grieve, if we understand grief as a primal scream to the heavens of “Where did you go? Why aren’t you here?” There isn’t a way to scream that so loudly it will result in a reply, and it’s so hard to grapple with that ice-cold fact and not wonder on some level what the point of any of it is.

It makes me feel ashamed of my emotional immaturity sometimes, this failure to accept the fact of her absence. Death is the great, looming fact, wholly indifferent to our objections. The men who seek to overcome it are embarrassing freaks, fish-faced zillionaire oligarchs who think mortality is for the little people. Is there any way to cry skyward that I want my friend back without throwing in my lot with their worldview? Are these questions without answers all just part of the bargaining stage? Because if I’m still there a decade in, the depression stage is going to be a mother.

Apparently the literal king of England is coming to my town and will be watching a parade right across from my studio. The only reason I know about this is that I got an email from my kid's band teacher telling them when to show up to play for him??! 😬😬😬
