It’s becoming common that jobs ask if you are Transgender on job applications. And I really don’t think that’s information matters in the grand scheme of being qualified to do the job or not. It seems to be just another way to weed out candidates due to their identity.

This administration & its ilk used trans folks as a political hot topic, stripping our rights to deflect from the reality that they are the real pedophiles & danger to children. And it’s so disheartening that, no matter what continues to come out, they won’t be held accountable.

Rounding up journalists isn’t very pro-First Amendment. And it’s not something we should ignore that this administration is doing. This is not a good precedent and it infringes on our inalienable rights.

There’s some queer subtext there about having to hide who you truly are to navigate the world safely without scrutiny for your identity. #WonderMan

Parasocial relationships are the hot topic these days. Here’s an old cover story I wrote on the subject that’s become the contemporary piece on the matter. It even includes 1st hand accounts of stans in different fandoms.

I just realized that since Josh Gad & ‘Frozen’ are canon in the MCU, he won’t be voicing Olaf in the upcoming film in their universe (for reasons). Hmm wonder who they recast him with?

I enjoyed that a lot, actually. I like when comic book media leans into what other aspects of life look like in a world of superheroes. Of course, not every powered individual wants to be a vigilante, so what if they wanted to be an actor or something else? That’s #WonderMan

You pick a publication like the WSJ for an “apology” to make sure advertisers and sponsors see it (hopes of being brand-safe again). That’s my input on the subject matter.

A film receiving multiple award nominations across different categories is simply the acknowledgment that the project put together a great team. These are professional awards the public just so happens to have access to. It’s like you receiving the biggest award in your industry.

Been in the weeds all week working on another show’s episodic marketing and figuring out some stuff for my art shop business. The way I crashed when I got off work, I just went straight to sleep. I needed that rest real bad.

Just turned 30 and going out of the country for the first time in my life this weekend. I feel like Queen Latifah in ‘Last Holiday’!

Someone told they didn’t even know I could draw yesterday and I told them I minored in art (was a double major but decided to graduate early because I got into grad school at USC) and been in art shows too. They were like now why you ain’t ever shared this with folks. I am now 😅
