When I was writing on DuckTales, I met Adam Pally and showed him to the recording booth. He greeted me with a very formal “Hi Madam.” To which I said “…Did you just call me Madam???” …folks, he said “Hi, I’m Adam.” Anyway, I’ve been a ghost for about 10 years now. 💀

I am so incredibly disappointed in Disney. It is a slap in the face to their artists and creatives (me), a watering down of their brand, anathema to Walt’s vision of the company, and a blatant give to the Tech Bros who brought the Streaming Wars. Bad call all around.

In THEORY, smoke alarm batteries an die at any hour of the day. In REALITY, they only die when you are deep in your REM cycle.

Better not, Ben. You better not! Unless Justin writes it in Italian. Then that’s just practice!

My writing secret? PANIC. Sheer panic. I just let the panic build until my skin crawls with anxiety and the script shoots out of my fingers like lightning.

Addressing climate change is not a “pass/fail” scenario. It is a process of mitigating severity that will happen in our lifetimes. Saying “it’s over, do whatever you want” is both foolhardy and literally incorrect. We can always make a difference — and will continue to do so.

RIP Val Kilmer. Madmartigan was one of the first characters I truly fell in love with as a little kid, the kind of roguish hero you wish would find his way into your own life. In the words of Willow, “You are great!!!”

Matlock is the spiritual successor to Suits. It’s got the same feel and similar in-world stakes with different personal stakes. I’m really really loving it!

the FTC (which probably won’t be allowed to investigate post-tariff price gouging) found that grocery retailers exaggerated supply chain disruptions during peak pandemic to bank record profits: www.ftc.gov/news-events/... don’t fall for it a second time in five years!

And also I don’t think it’s wrong to want to bring more creative opportunities to the people living there who dream of making movies and TV. (That was ME! I’d still be in Austin if it were a viable option for me) It’s a very diverse state and the politics do not define all its residents. ❤️

I too am a Texan & worked on films in Austin with other women. Yes, the politics are bad and women throughout the state face increased risks, but that doesn’t mean women have ceased to exist there or that they cease to live and work in their state ❤️ Moving is a privilege some can’t afford

This morning, we learned that President Trump fired Board Member Gwynne Wilcox, whose Senate-confirmed term runs until 2028. This move must be called out for what it is—a frontal assault on the NLRB, its employees, workers, and the very idea of an independent civil service. 🚨
