The idea that the world is ruled by a cabal of child predators and rapists, all promoting each other into positions of power and controlling the media that should be reporting it is deeply, deeply troubling.

Man, TCM really presents the Looney Tunes cartoons like the historical pieces of animation that they are. After every short they have someone talk briefly about what you just watched. Haven't seen something like that since the early days of Cartoon Network.

Check it out! Producer Leah! @leahfromsd.bsky.social
This was the first short I wrote and helped produce. It was a fun little project and I think it turned out pretty cute for a learning opportunity with a first-time crew and director.

Decided to write off my creative year after Mum died. Not enough heart and head space. BUT I’m going to turn my short romcom into a feature. Something light. EXcept the lead’s dad dies in act 1 🤔 But they all live Happily Ever After. That counts right?

Made with $0, just my husband and parents. It's mortifying. I can't act. Our accents are very fake. The full script has a large ensemble cast. But I wanted to do SOMETHING, so I made this teaser, for a mockumentary feature I wrote last year.

Trump: ‘We should take over the voting’
Trump, as usual, offered no evidence for any of his claims.

I know you've heard that a federal judge ordered the release of 5 year old Liam Conejo Arias and his father, and that they're now home.
But did you look at the judge's order?
It's less than 2.5 pages and well worth a minute. "Jesus wept."

Life Story specialist met with kidlet for first meeting. He had to say which animal he identified with himself (cheetah), his bio mum (deer because she’s shy) and me. I’m a BLOWFLY because I’m annoying and never go away. (I also have to deal with his shit)

What do you say to your teenage son when they’re being a big whiny baby? Apparently “toughen up” is not it.

When I studied French in France, they said “when someone asks you how it is going, you say it’s going. Do not say how it is going. No one wants to hear that.” Imagine this said in a French accent with a touch of disdain for foreigners deigning to try to learn their language.
I have a client who used to answer "How are you?" with "Much better now that bullets aren't flying over my head!" Memorable? Absolutely. But sometimes the most captivating response is refreshingly grounded: "Just got back from visiting family - reminded me why I love breaks from LA."
