Scarlett Johansson & Colin Jost on SNL.
does anyone know any good entertainment publications right now looking for pitches? i have a piece in mind related to animation and representation #journorequest
not to make everything about the conclave but IF a filipino cardinal becomes pope and the king of spain attends his inaugural mass, that would be a full circle moment right there. the pictures would go so hard.
mabuhay ang uring manggagawa!
mandatory: But, alas, the heart forgets; the heart is distracted; and May time passes; summer lends; the storms break over the rot-tipe orchards and the heart grows old; while the hours, the days, the months, and the years pile up and pile up, till the mind becomes too crowded.
it’s may day eve, of course i’m thinking about this iconic sentence.
I know everyone’s talking about Conclave right now, but if you haven’t already, I highly recommend seeing The Two Popes (2019). Stellar performance from Jonathan Pryce and a great insight into Pope Francis’ views.
during the holy father’s 12-year tenure as pope, he called for a more inclusive church despite conservative resistance. in his final hours, he called for peace and the cessation of violence in christ’s homeland. for all our sakes, i pray that we see his like again. rest in His kingdom, pope francis.

Marginalized creators! Polish up those manuscripts, #DVPit returns October 2025 on bluesky with over 40 participating agents and editors! #booksky #writersky
This is a long winded way of saying I guess I’ll be yapping more about my books here instead.
Lately I’ve been trying to figure out which platform to best utilize sharing my work since creating can tend to be a lonely experience. It feels wrong to do it now on Twitter/X for obvious reasons and I still can’t figure out Threads. Instagram feels too…challenging.
my dream is for me (and by extension, my friends and loved ones) to become so successful to the point that my children receive nepo baby allegations

The Empire State Building is emerald green tonight to celebrate the 100th birthday of The Great Gatsby. Did you know that, in the manuscript of the novel, Fitzgerald at one time had two green lights? He settled on just one, at the end of Daisy's dock. Many fêtes, my fellow Gatsby lovers.
never mind that i have been waiting for this story for over a decade and that i know how it all ends. i just want to throw myself off a cliff.
finished sotr (i want to kill myself)
