I wrote this thing about Appalachia, poverty, substance misuse, labor issues....& time travel.

And HOPE. Really & truly about hope.

Hit me up if you want to take a look at the deck or read the pilot.*

*Or if you happen to be @mikeroyce.bsky.social & you want to showrun it.

I won AFF.
It did nothing.
But I *did* get a dope-ass trophy.

MSM stopped talking about Melissa Hortman's assassination within 24 hours. GOP has already determined this will be their rallying cry thru 2028, and MSM will play along per usual.

That was my problem with it. The metaphor implied was wonderful until it stopped being a metaphor and was just literally explicitly screaming itself. Glad I watched it. Never need to again.

But also: I'm glad some filmmakers can get to a place where they can take changes & make movies like this.

I get such a rush from a good cleaning & checkup. I'm 10 yrs old all over again. I even make sure I get a sticker (usually Spider-Man).

conservatives/republicans going full on fascist with occupying cities with the military is yet another reminder to NEVER TAKE CONSERVATISM SERIOUSLY. THEIR CRITICISMS AREN'T REAL. YOU CAN'T MEET THEM HALF WAY. THEY AREN'T A SERIOUS IDEOLOGY. THEY CAN ONLY BE CRUSHED, NOT DEBATED.

thank you.

but that's the beauty of #theatre. it's an ephemeral moment shared by performer and audience breathing the same air, sharing the same energy. it's sorta like magic.

Yeah, and I’m not dragging them. There are just so many wonderful ways of writing screenplays.

“Abolish ICE” is the moderate position. Radical is “prosecute every ICE employee under RICO.”

And again, because someone decided to parachute in and stir the "Old People Are Why Trump Won!" line -- no. It was WHITE PEOPLE. Including a lot of younger ones. I will trust older Black folks over younger white ones any damn day, frankly.
