I've never been a coffee drinker but I've been so tired lately I've decided it's time to start. Coffee lovers, any advice for someone who doesn't like that burnt bean taste starting out? I did a Starbucks frapp with chai and a few pumps of coffee to get started and that wasn't bad at all!

Working as a writer/Co-Producer on S2 of Batman Caped Crusader was a dream come true and yet personally, I’m bummed. Regardless of my credit snafu I hope you all check it out on Amazon Prime. Here’s pt 1 of 2:

Hope everyone is enjoying S2 of Batman Caped Crusader now up on Amazon Prime Video. Really proud of the work @shawnabenson.bsky.social and I did as Co-Producers and loved working with Geoff Thorne, Bruce Timm, and all the writers. But I was bummed at one thing...

Convinced parents to watch Widow’s Bay. (SPOILERS) Dad: I’ve got 8 people on my list to knock off next yr. That PJ kid, light house guy, that chick she tazed, Rosemary, old guy in the bunker, Sean-y from WWDITS, the hotel owner, and Dale cause he knows too much. Mom: And that was NOT a comedy! 🤣

Very cool to see screenshots of all the comic creators thanked in the end credits of movies but damn I wish there was more than one woman in that list of dozens.

I observed two diametrically opposed facts at San Diego Comic Con this year: While there were clear cutbacks in corporate parties, activations, panels, A/C, freebies, and water brands (lol), the attendance felt like pre-pandemic numbers, ppl were cosplaying, buying, socializing…

Which side should I choose?!? #startrek

Yes please find us, it will be like where’s Waldo… without the hat. Or stripes. Or Waldo— you know what whatever, see you there! #sdcc

Shawna Benson@shawnabenson.bsky.social · 2w ago

It's that time again -- headed to #SDCC! No panels for us this year, but you can find @juliebenson.bsky.social and me wandering around the convention center or gaslamp over the next couple of days. If you see us, come say hi!

Well, at least I got con crud earlier this week pre Comic Con, maybe now I’ll be immune. See you nerds tomorrow!

Remember when we’d go to the movies then stand in front of the theater for like an hour afterwards discussing the film? I hope the next generations are discovering this joy. The last time I remember really doing that was, like, Batman Returns.

My exhausted Dad just now: It’s kind of like Scarlett O’Hara said at the end of Gone with the Wind: “I’ll take care of that tomorrow.” Me: You mean, tomorrow is another day? Dad: Whatever. Same thing.

Pleased to report the Arby’s in Galesburg Illinois still has a working neon cowboy hat sign. Nature is healing.

In Galesburg dealing with family crisis after family crisis. @shawnabenson.bsky.social: What should we have for dinner? It's like 10pm... Me: Taco Bell's down the road. Shawna: Cool Me:(Two soft tacos later, reads news next day about lettuce.) Shawna... there's about to be 2 more family crises.

Fewer fireworks going off by my house in Hollywood at nearly midnight is a recession indicator.

One of the buildings they are being encouraged to take shelter in is the African American Museum. 🤷‍♀️

As far as I can tell there’s still a thunderstorm expected to happen in the next couple of hours in Washington DC but Trump has decided that he must give his speech and so has told them to reopen the grounds so people can be outside in a thunderstorm during his speech.

Toy Story 5 was lovely! I lol’d a lot and @shawnabenson.bsky.social and I got to see the giant Trojan Horse from The Odyssey outside the AMC. Also, the new security to get into Universal Citywalk is fast and no big deal. Disney could learn a few things from the efficiency.

This is America. TODAY. In 2026. Unreal. Disgusting.
