“Performative masculinity is not a strength. It is a critical vulnerability of the Russian war machine. Despite the fact that the Russian military is much larger and better equipped than that of the Ukrainians, they are showing horrific losses.” buff.ly/3JAyP8Z

Julia Roberts on balancing work and motherhood: “I almost didn’t do ‘August: Osage County’ because they were going to start filming right as our youngest son was starting kindergarten, and I was like, How could I miss this?" bit.ly/3MefH27

As a writer the only person you’re in competition with is yourself

I’m so mad right now. A friend of mine with staff writer, WA & SC experience was just offered a showrunner’s assistant job on a seemingly progressive show at $14.50/hr, capped at $797/wk, with no health insurance. Below LA minimum wage. #payuphollywood

I never learned so much about writing as the day I first put a script I wrote into the hands of an actor and asked them if they had any questions.

Nirvana playing in The Batman feels off and makes me feel… sad.

I received a series of rejections this week. It hurts, i won’t deny it. When I started to internalize them, I called one of my bros and he helped me remember that I’m so much more than any opportunity or accomplishment. In short it’s okay to let your folks know when youre down ❤️
