Hello Bluesky. I'm a writer and strategist working in the HR tech space. I've had the unfortunate experience of burying two of our children, so I tend to write a bit about loss, grief, and trauma. I'll share some links below for anyone interested.

I need everybody to read this and understand what’s going on. These are spouses of US citizens in the country legally. They have entry clearance and green cards, they’ve passed background checks and have no criminal records. ICE is taking them anyway.

My first movie theater memory. I write about this film, which helped save humpback whales, in The Edge of Space-Time. Thank you director Leonard Nimoy, may your memory LLAP. 🖖🏽
Happy Anniversary to Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, released on this day! Today we celebrate time travel, transparent aluminum, and the heroes who boldly went back to 1986 to save a pair of humpback whales and the entire Federation. 🖖🌊

Handing back student work that’s been written by ChatGPT with a 0 followed by the comment “This essay will never stand in authentic wonder before the Beauty of God’s creation.”
Pope Leo XIV told students not to use artificial intelligence for homework, saying that AI ‘won’t stand in authentic wonder before the beauty of God’s creation.’

Felker-Martin's MANHUNT
If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.

I know two professional artists - a playwright/actor who does touring one-man plays & a composer/cellist who in commissioned by orchestras - who have had to cancel their upcoming international tours, because they're both not yet US citizens & have been advised they may not be allowed to return.

So my pie take is there are no bad pies, but some pies have to be eaten a certain way:

1. Pecan: Always good

2. Fruit: Must be homemade. Otherwise bad.

3. Pumpkin: Best eaten cold at 7 am standing over a sink before everyone wakes up
Apple pie is bad. This is not really debatable. So is key lime pie, while we’re on the topic. Pecan pie is the 🐐 tho.

Hey there people in my phone! Is anyone keeping an archive of Trump admin propaganda images? I’d be interested to browse it for an essay I’m writing. Will definitely credit you.

Mamdani has proven he knows what it takes to win elections and render Trump himself star-struck. Here's why that's bad for Democrats.

Well, that explains the "live-action" Moana remake trailer I saw.
AI has been devastating for the “checking on youtube to see if the movie has any trailers yet” user cohort

Yeah. It succeeds in making the Death Star and Vader scary, neither of which require any great skill. Otherwise, it's a paint by numbers lore dump explaining a plot point that needed no explanation.
rogue one is bad folks. i have believed this since i saw it in theaters and no subsequent rewatch has changed my mind. basically a chop job until the final sequence, which is good (for star wars)

haven’t seen ROS or Solo but this seems like a pretty ball-knowing list from Pritzker, particularly if he volunteered the name “Star Wars” rather than “A New Hope”
