Me, to the Songwriter: OMG, I can visit L.M. Montgomery's house when we're in Toronto!
He: Cool! Who's L.M. Montgomery?
Me: She wrote Anne of Green Gables, which, along with Pippi Longstocking and The Secret Garden, is the "So, You're A Difficult Girl" starter pack!
I love him so much (when he's not producing the Oscars and making my life hell).
This man deserves the Great American Melting Pot upside his head.

The two greatest and most important writing hires in comic history—Alan Moore to write Swamp Thing and Chris Claremont to write X-Men—were both made by the same guy: Len Wein
We tend to think of Wein as a writer and creator (and he was very good at both), but his real legacy is as an editor.
Do subways next!
On this, we agree.
I think about this at least once a day.
What do you mean, the zoo in Lyon is free?!? #travel
Genuinely love this for you!
Also, if you're a writer? Alt text is a second chance to be smart/witty/funny! Give that audience a bonus!
The fourth Trans Rights Readathon is coming up this month! From March 17-31, folks around the world are reading trans books to (and this is important) raise money for trans rights activism
When you're making your reading list, don't forget lesser known indie authors who could use the boost!
I don't like these, but it's nice to see her actually stand for something she likes for a change, even if it is stupid shoulder pads.
I would be ever so grateful if you would send them my way. Even if it's just a connection you think would be mutually beneficial, that'd be great too!
(True story: I got my original Academy gig through a social post, and since that turned out so well, I thought I'd try it again😁)

Hey Skyfriends!
As we're winding down our travels, I'm ready to ramp up to more #freelance work. I know it's tough times out there, so if you or anybody you know might need:
- copywriting (from social to long form to ads)
- developmental editing
- copyediting (AP and CMS)
- proofreading

Oh look, John Husted LYING. Must be another day ending in y in Ohio.
Yes, but this has always been true. It’s not unique to now.
SQUEEEEEEE!!!!
Me, trying to figure out what time in France is an appropriate time to text my friends in LA.
I would be ever so grateful if you would send them my way. Even if it's just a connection you think would be mutually beneficial, that'd be great too!

James Wong Howe crouches to film two actors portraying boxers in a ring with a handheld film camera and roller skates, circa 1947. The director watches over his shoulder.
When I worked at the Academy’s Pickford Center, there was a rotating exhibition of set photography in the hallway. This photo of Howe shooting BODY AND SOUL on roller skates in the days before steadicams was always one of my favorites!
Well, this is a stupid time to be awake, en francaise edition.
My fingers are far too large, or I would be arguing right now with the Songwriter about why I need her.
Thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of a mind.
We love to see it!
I just want a Toblerone I can ride like a hobby horse. Is that so wrong?!
I'm on a train! With wifi!
Vive le France! 🇫🇷
Please, Lady Mother Goddess, let there be a train. My bank account cannot handle one more night in Switzerland! 😅
