I did a last-minute name change from Gary to Larry before I sent out a script. Just reread and realized I missed that Austria-Hungary was changed to Austria-HunLarry. 🤦‍♀️

I wrote Go Fish into my script, and then immediately forgot how to play it. How can you block out the rules of a childhood classic from your head? At least I have Google.

Listening to Chappell Roan's The Subway on repeat after seeing her on Saturday. My song hyperfixation is about to wreak havoc on my algorithm.

This is bonkers. I immigrated to American on an H1B visa. If this was in place then, I’d wouldn’t be here now. You know who else is highly employed on H1B visas? Doctors…. You know who pays taxes? H1B holders. You know who won’t pay 100k for workers? US businesses. A one way ticket to disasterville.

President Trump plans to add a $100,000 fee to H-1B visa applications in the administration’s latest crackdown on a system it says is used by tech companies to avoid hiring American workers.

Trump to Add $100,000 Fee to H-1B Visas

The move, expected as soon as Friday, would upend a program for foreign workers that the president says tech companies overuse.

I've known both authors (@heatherataylor.bsky.social and Hillary Nussbaum) of this audio-only romance for a few years now from the film world, plus a long-time fan of Elena Armas, so I was really excited to hear about their process last December:

According to the spooky tribunal, August 30th is Frankenstein Day...which is a great occasion to celebrate Mary Shelley, who not only wrote essentially the first ever science fiction novel, but also was a boss goth icon who kept her husband's calcified heart after he died. We walk in Mary's shadow.

One last read through tomorrow morning and it’s off to the producers. Yay!!

Heather Taylor @heatherataylor.bsky.social · Aug 26

Almost done with my first pass of the rewrite I was brought on to do. Can't wait to dig into all the characters' arcs to make them emotionally sing.

Found the best shirt for our K-Pop Demon Hunters sing-along outing. (We're taking my husband’s god daughter!)

Bagel lady in Manhattan asked me if I was from New York and when I said yes, she asked why she hasn’t seen me before. I told her I was at the doctors & that I live in Queens. She lives in Corona and because we are basically neighbors, she gave me a free cookie and said she hopes to see me around. ❤️

Sometimes, right when you start to worry about finding something to help fill your dwindling bank account, a project comes out of the blue to get you through. Thankful that all the seeds planted along the way come to fruition when you need it.

The K-Pop Demon Hunters soundtrack now lives rent-free in my head… “We’re going up, up, up…”

After that episode, it's worth repeating what I said before: #Revival has more than earned so have a second season.
