Creating new worlds through stories and screenplays. My first novel is almost done, and then it'll go to a line editor. Exciting, I know. 🙂

My wife Molly has been completely supportive through the writing of (and recording the audiobook of) my Sci-Fi novel Bold Rabbit, including performing all of the feminine voices for the audiobook. She is amazing!

feels better than
"Life is what you make it."
because it doesn't dismiss the fact that not everyone gets the same opportunities in life.

UPS workers are on the verge of participating in the largest single-employer strike in history. One of the main reasons for the strike? The lack of protections from heat-related injuries. #Climate justice means worker power.

Adam Conover's activism has been refreshing to see during the writer's strike: not just picketing the studios but educating the public about what a union does and how a strike works at the same time. It's also fun to hear about other entertainers I admire working hard to support the picket lines. #Labor https://jacobin.com/2023/07/adam-conover-wga-strike?utm_source=werd.io&utm_campaign=mastodon&utm_channel=mastodon

The right-wing media ecosystem is critically dependent on corporate interests and wealthy individuals who want—among other agenda items—fewer regulations and lower taxes.

I looked at the funding behind right-wing and libertarian nonprofit media outfits to shine more of a light on this trend.

Obama gives shoutout to librarians while blasting book censorship

Former President Obama on Monday praised the nation’s librarians for standing “on the front lines” as book bans spread around the nation.

In a letter to the “hardworking librarians of America,” Obama denounced recent attempts to ban books that touch on topics like gender, sexuality and race. He said many of these books and their authors shaped his life.
