I am a #writer, so I write stuff. #Screenplays for #film and #tv, mostly. Three #series with the "created by" credit to my account, a few films with the "written by" one. I also wrote one produced (and two yet to be produced) #theater #play, a bunch of #shortstories, a #novel that is quite likely to see the light of day in 2023 and another one I should be working on right not, instead of doing this. I also teach #screenwriting and #creativewriting. Hell, how boring this bio is. Sorry

Funerals are expensive. I'm considering selling ad space on my coffin to help offset the cost for my family. Hopefully, when I go, it'll be open-casket. That way the mortician can set me up with a sign that says "Don't cry for me, I'm in Heaven now - they have Pepsi here!" Worth a lot of money I imagine

My favorite thing about the Fediverse is that I get to be a fan of normal people.

I endorse feeding the Titanic the obscenely wealthy.

I'm really #scared by the possibility that one day there will be no enough amount of #caffeine to start me up for the day. I'm really scared that maybe that day has come, that the day of not enough #coffee might be today

Whenever someone tells you that the climate crisis is a personal responsibility issue, show them this:

https://www.theguardian.com/sustainable-business/2017/jul/10/100-fossil-fuel-companies-investors-responsible-71-global-emissions-cdp-study-climate-change

The climate crisis is a billionaires crisis, a trillion-dollar corporations crisis, a capitalism crisis, a systemic inequality crisis.

Just 100 companies responsible for 71% of global emissions, study says

A relatively small number of fossil fuel producers and their investors could hold the key to tackling climate change

The writers aren't endangering productions; the studios are by not paying the writers. Pay the writers.

Interesante el poder de la prensa. Han conseguido convencer a personas que a duras penas alcanzan a pagar la hipoteca de su única vivienda de que los rentistas, con más de 5 viviendas en alquiler, son pequeños propietarios.

¿Hemos sustituido la conciencia de clase por el "sueño" de clase? 🤔 "Defiendo la clase a la que quiero pertenecer, no a la que pertenezco".

#Adaptação: do #Livro ao #Roteiro é o nome do meu #curso que começa dia 14 próximo, online. Informações e inscrições aqui: https://www.sympla.com.br/evento-online/adaptacao-do-livro-ao-roteiro/1921475

A proposta do curso é analisar alguns casos concretos de adaptações e experimentar uma espécie de "simulação" do processo de adaptar. Trabalharei obras de Elena Ferrante, Sérgio Sant'Anna, Roberto Bolaño e Milan Kundera, entre outros.

Quem quiser ver um spoiler de como será o curso, veja: https://youtu.be/ySAshDnApYY

Any writers here use software for drawing maps and floorplans for their novels? What do you recommend?

Watching episode two of #Thelastofus . I can't get rid of the impression that I am watching The walking dead, only the cast has zero charisma. The main guy reminds me of Burt Reynolds, and not in a good way. I wouldn't mind watching a fungal #thewalkingdead , but I don't think I will be able to keep following those characters much longer. I was expecting a lot, Mazin made Chernobyl, which is a marterpiece...#series
