Today's the season premiere of RJ DECKER and the first day of filming my 2nd episode of the series.
A yr ago, I was struggling to get a meeting for *any* show. Today, I'm on a series I love, surrounded by talented, hilarious people. I'm lucky. I'm grateful.
I can't believe I get to do this!

Boosting this mashup of horror and Puerto Rican noir. One of my favorite books in recent years!
It’s #FridayReads time! Repost this and let us know what to repost for you. This multi-award-losing novel is still only $12! I hate Bezos, but not everyone can pay $20+ and with no contract/my editor gone from Mulholland, every copy matters. Go on, share what you love!

Of course not. What are they gonna fundraise on if we address the problem now?
NARRATOR: Surprisingly (or not) no one in Congress, the media, or the judiciary spoke up. Former Presidents and other national luminaries remained silent almost as though ignoring the problem would make it go away.

If his movies are meant to “appeal to everybody,” then everybody should actually be allowed to exist in them. Ignoring or erasing LGBTQ characters causes the isolation, shame, and self-loathing that lead people to therapy -- and suicide.
Pixar CCO Pete Docter says they removed gay elements from ‘ELIO’ after finding some parents didn’t want entertainment forcing conversations with their kids they weren’t ready for.
“We’re making a movie, not hundreds of millions of dollars of therapy.”
