A small black cat stands on a softly textured landscape with a gradient sky shifting from deep purple to pink and green near the ground. The cat has wide, round white eyes and holds a small purple flower. Above it, handwritten white text reads: “You’ve already won, because there’s love, and hope, and kindness… and a cat that thinks you’re a very good place to nap.”

the last time a bunny photo captured how I feel about life it was 2014 and I was overwhelmed. now it's 2026, my hair needs to be washed, and I'm fed up with this 💩
it's like whoever is writing this season of Earth is relying on every overused trope in the book. I'd love some complex, sympathetic villains in this arc, instead of the hand-rubbing mustache-twirling tie-people-to-train-tracks schemers we've got
today I came across a video about a trend among lsreaIi citizens who record themselves kicking cats and upload to social media. I saw several of these videos, and anyone who knows anything about screenwriting knows how blatantly obvious a confession this trend is.
kinda makes me feel guilty for abandoning my scripts because it reminds me that art is supposed to imitate life.
that last picture looks like the cast of a heist movie, in which a team assembled by Brennan the Mastermind infiltrates Capitalism Corp and steals data to return power to the people.
sometimes I imagine he's waiting until April first so that when your post comes, no one will believe it. 😕
you nailed it! 🥳
the chemistry between Nick and the girls' dad is so palpable. I'm hoping for a will-they-won't-they plot arc, an almost kiss, a misunderstanding that almost ends things, and then a dramatic fall into each other's arms as the music swells. strange a conservative ai would be so progressive though...
RIP Catherine O'Hara
another abandoned script: historical romance about a distant relative my dad unearthed while doing genealogy. my issue was not that he married his cousin, making my family tree a bit wonky, but that she was too young and I could not justify it as a writer. but apparently we protect pedos these days.
"Your mother wears combat boots" stopped being an insult when mothers started having to wear combat boots just so that their kids might not grow up with fascism.
when I saw this in my algorithm I thought of you:

another abandoned screenplay: during covid lockdown I wrote a film noir detective version of snow white and the seven dwarfs. my main reason for abandoning it is that I thought it was a given that the audience would view Nazis as the bad guys, but now that seems not to be the case.
yeah, I don't like it when dystopian fiction becomes truth. i'd finish it if I knew it would stay fiction.
It's a really intriguing story but I feel a bit robbed of the fun of writing it, because writing it now would not be fiction. even when all this passes, it will never be fiction anymore, it will always be history. that kinda sucks. 4/end
I lost interest in writing it in 2020 for 2 reasons: 1) I was already seeing parallels that felt too close to home, and 2) a military friend thought it was unrealistic that the military would not uphold the constitution (it was not explicitly the US but was supposed to be a US-like country) 3/
the main antagonist was in control of both the military and the media, manipulating the narrative in order to hide his sexual crimes from an increasingly puritanical population. he disregarded the laws of the land and flexed his power. he did things because he could. 2/
before 2020, I started writing a screenplay in which the main character suffers a head injury and subsequently begins to hear from God. as he obtains his doctorate in divinity, the world around him becomes dystopian, on a fast track to a post-apocalypse. 1/
The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command. — George Orwell.
it is not lost on me that this quote is becoming popular while at the same time the party is also pushing the use of AI and making us not trust visual and audio evidence.

I have the same handle across as many social platforms as I can, however I am using fewer and fewer of them lately. I believe I came to bluesky early in 2025. I mostly stuck around because of the "daily bunnies" account 😂
I have so many plans I don't know which one I will go with
if you just got a random follow from me even though we don't talk much, it's because I'm finally getting around to seeing who I'm following on other socials and following them here instead. there's a good chance I'll stop using the other ones.
I don't post here much but I do like the visuals created by this end of year recap, so here you go, this is my year in posts:
comfort with you. I think you're smart enough to know which kinds of comforts you need around you today, whether friends or chocolates or plushies or something else. you have always seemed to me like someone very capable of finding your way through obstacles and setbacks, and I think you will again.
I can't pretend to understand fully what you're feeling, but I can attest to how healing and powerful nighttime ocean walks can be. someone once told me hearts can heal through salt water: sweat, tears, or the ocean. sometimes all three together. I hope you are healing and have a solid source of
that looks so good 😋
