Still thinking about this film. Gotta hand it to PTA, IMO, it’s one of his best. I really wish I had watched it on a big screen to do the last 20 minutes justice. The tension so pitch perfect with every peak of that hilly highway. And the music, chef’s kiss.

Vince Gilligan has done it again.Walter White's and X-Files love child, Carol Sturka is my new favorite character. Expectations are mighty high, but I'm all in. I can't wait to see where the characters and story goes. What fun must be that writers room. #Pluribus

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

“…paper and ink receive the truth without emotion, and they read it back without partiality. That I believe, is why so few women are taught to read and write. God only knows what they would do with the power of pen and ink at their disposal. I am not God nor do I desire to be.” #booksky

It still feels surreal that people connected with the first book, and I'd love to give something back.
If this post hits 500 shares, I'll make the Beyond The Mark eBook free for all of December.
No catch, just a thank you for the support and a push to keep me writing.

Having just finished A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas, I am truly baffled as to why she’s repeatedly targeted by the book banners. As a kid, I read way more salacious, violent books and I turned out just fine. LOL. #booksky

So soon after Redford, another cinematic legend gone, but Diane Keaton’s spectacular work lives on…forever on film. Her face commanding the screen in what I think is the greatest ending to one of the greatest films of all time. Oh, La-di-da! RIP #DianeKeaton

This is absolutely Brownshirt business.
Breaking news: ICE stops family at gunpoint—smash car window on top of newborn baby.
"I was screaming that there was a baby. But they didn’t care," cried mother.
“I covered my baby with my body—I was so scared he was going to be hurt because glass was landing on him."

There he was looking straight at me. He stood on his perch for a good minute before flying away.The Ancient Maya considered the vulture as a balancer of nature, an intermediary of transformation. By eating the dead, he returns it to the earth and life begins anew again. #Nature #wildlife
