I got out! Sorry I’m late. I read books and sometimes write them. And screenplays, to-do lists, and the occasional … skeet? Are we really calling them that? Love Boston sports, even when we suck.

Knowing I wasn't going to be able to sleep last night (pain + steroids kicking in) I made a great reading choice. "Murder at 30,000 Feet" by @susanwalter.bsky.social might be her best mystery novel yet!

Pew Research Institute (2023): • Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants • Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants • Blue State Minnesota has 130,000. And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration." It's *not* about immigration.

“We must learn that passively to accept an unjust system is to cooperate with that system, and thereby to become a participant in its evil.” -- Martin Luther King Jr.

Frost: For so long, the right wing has held up patriotism as a vibe, as an aesthetic. But patriotism is more than bald eagles and flags and beer. Patriotism is about loving the people who live in the damn country — every single one of them.

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

Happy Saturday! Been here a week, thought it was time I introduce myself. I was @susie_filmmaker on that other platform. Made a movie in 2017 starring Sharon Stone. Here we are on the red carpet. I will never look that good again so enjoy it now. 😃

The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.

At the risk of reading too much into Bluesky’s success at the moment, I do think it’s a signal that people don’t want to be surrounded by bots and manipulated algorithms AI can only go so far. We want human connection.

Don't forget that books are a fantastic Christmas gift. One book is a gift for three people: the person you gift the book to, the author who makes a sale, and YOU, because you can talk to your friend about the awesome book when they've read it too.
