My heart hurts: "There was this TV show based on this comic book “Cosmoknights” that I was going to direct, and it was from me and Emily Andras, who made “Wynonna Earp.” It’s “Star Wars” with lesbians in space. Amy Poehler was producing it, and we pitched it all around town [...] everybody passed."

what causes this? well..

“Some of us just happen to love urban life,” writes @alisonmotluk.bsky.social. “And to make this large, disparate, teeming place livable, functional, safe, and fun, we sometimes need to do things that less urban communities do not.” thelocal.to/toronto-city...

Good news: your community elected a councillor and even a mayor who share your vision for the city. Then the province steps in.

My blurb: marvelously conjures an unnamed, post-revolution country that flickers between our reality & dream, using it as a canvas to paint a delicate, deeply compelling psychosexual portrait of humans & cultures fracturing in the aftermath of a fallen dictatorship... 1/2

I think fandom fixation on characters has a lot in common with the worldview of incels, where the thing they constantly perform desire for (a story featuring Their Fave/A relationship with a woman, respectively) actually threatens their self-image and can't be permitted.

There’s such an easy answer to this “gotcha” question and it’s “Sports are inherently unsafe and unfair and it’s ridiculous to single out trans athletes when we allow 150 pound linebackers to go up against 260 pound linemen in freshman football on a daily basis. Let kids play with their friends.”

Finally watched THE BRIDE!, a movie where from scene to scene my reactions veered between "more movies should be this bananas" and "dear god make it stop." But I loved Maggie Gyllenhaal's directorial debut and will watch whatever she does next so my overriding reaction is respect for the vision.
