blah blah blah something about me realising that a lot of actors of colour only do comedy films/tv shows??? like if this is their choice and what they want to do, great! but is it just me or is there a lack of like drama or other 'serious' genres ft. actors of colour?

tequila. i've only ever done shots but to date, i think about the smell and want to throw up! also, don't recommend the random glass of champagne after you've been doing shots either. that can mess you up 😂

the problem with planning for edits in one of my fifty-gazillion notebooks is when i can't actually read my own writing anymore 😂

it's early for 2025 resolutions, but gonna try this thing where i try and space out things i'm supposed to do instead of being so terrified i won't have enough time and so compounding my already undying burnout watch me fail!

I think we're going to see a HUGE proliferation of #horror over the next four years. We will need the catharsis, and of all sorts: splatterpunk, weird, cosmic/eldritch, folk/cult, Gothic, and bubblegum, to name a few. Horror contains multitudes. Horror can heal. Horror lets us know we aren't alone.
