Toy Story 5 was lovely! I lol’d a lot and @shawnabenson.bsky.social and I got to see the giant Trojan Horse from The Odyssey outside the AMC. Also, the new security to get into Universal Citywalk is fast and no big deal. Disney could learn a few things from the efficiency.

Is it too late to get FIFA tix for L.A.? Do I need to take out a loan or just watch on TV? This girl is asking:
Don’t you just love hearing about someone’s dream? @shawnabenson.bsky.social and my family is so mean to me! 🙄
Quick question what color would you say my eyes are? My insane family said they are not green… even though I have that on my driver’s license and have eyes that can see color… like GREEN! I’m losing my mind!
My cousin Kurt passed away but his memory will live on in the form of an agricultural scholarship. Please donate in his memory if you’re able. www.gofundme.com/f/honoring-k...

Writing and Whatnot would have been a RAD AD back in the day. Created this in Canva using inspo from a camera ad I saw in a vintage American Cinematographer. Wish I had more artistic ability or graphic design chops. Took WAY too long, but I think it turned out pretty cool. What do you kids think?
Writers also on S2 of Batman: Caped Crusader -- @spyscribe.bsky.social, Tyrone Finch, and @jmdematteis.bsky.social so you know it's gonna be good...
Watching Niagara in honor of Marilyn Monroe’s 100th Birthday and there are so many lingering shots of her walking away. Like… she’s gorgeous but dude, a full 15 seconds? This is one of many…
It’s been a sad and emotionally exhausting week back in central Illinois. My Aunt suffered a massive stroke but is slowly recovering so @shawnabenson.bsky.social and I are heading back to L.A.
Been dealing with a family emergency back in Illinois and walked into this nightmare of an old hospital hallway. I haven’t seen Backrooms yet, but is this Backroomsy?
Inventing America: The Comic Book Revolution is at the Skirball Cultural Cultural Center now! Go check it out and thanks to my amazingly talented buddy @djpatrickareed.bsky.social for curating the show and inviting @shawnabenson.bsky.social and me to the opening! 💥

Watching Love is Blind Poland and this man (who grew up in Chicago) offered his date MALORT as a drink to cheers with. And not as a joke. Or a dare. When I tell you how fast I would have run out the door… iykyk
