Ok I understand everyone is freaking out but why are ALL of you baking sourdough.
Many of you think you’re successfully defending yourselves, and I wanna say, good effort, good hustle, but also, admit you’ve lost it.
THERE ARE OTHER BREADS, PEOPLE.

Would it help to hear some of my thoughts on crafting a BASIC logline? I am a rarely paid screenwriter and frequently paid reader, and find myself giving the same notes on loglines. These are just my opinion, pros may break all these parameters, but if you’re stuck, might help.
1. Try Making It About The Core

loglines get cluttered when there’s too much extraneous information and details. Start your process by cutting everything but the core plot/relationship. “A boy bonds with a stray dog.” “A group of casino workers team up to rob their boss.”
In a lot of loglines, you’ll see details of side plots and specifics crammed in there. “A boy, from Nova Scotia, whose friend moved away, meets a stray dog in junkyard over the summer and sneaks him into the house”. All of that may happen, but it’s too much detail.

Just to be clear: if I have degrees and am struggling with student debt I should’ve not wasted money on college and gotten a real job, but if I have a blue collar job and am struggling with low wages I should’ve gone to college and gotten a real job.
I am beginning to be concerned I don’t know what a real job is.
While I’m at it, I should stop being a selfish millennial and have children to save the economy from our dropping birth rate, but also not have children I can’t afford because I will ruin the economy with their need for food and shelter?

Since we’re banning books that make people uncomfortable, I’d like to add The Great Gatsby because I feel unsafe when emotionally stunted men have money.
“Children, we will not be reading ROLL OF THUNDER HERE MY CRY, because it contains upsetting material. Here is the sweeping romance JANE EYRE instead where a man locks his mentally ill wife in an attic to trick his employee into marrying him.”
Do you ever get the feeling that the book banning people have never read *any* books?

I have empathy for people who are “done with Covid.” Having a chronic illness teaches you eventually that the illness doesn’t give one single shit if you are done with it. Before you learn that, you go slightly crazy (or I certainly did, hello anxiety diagnosis.)
People with long Covid are unfortunately learning the lesson no one wants to learn. And more are going to join them, because they’re “done with Covid.”
It’s so hard to express nuance online. It’s ok to feel grief and anger that our lives have been changed and we’ve all lost years, it’s ok to say I hate this and I want it to stop. But you can’t make it stop, certainly not by demanding we all ignore it. Illnesses do not care.

Rewatching the glorious 1993 MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING, which appears to be set in the time period of “Italy.”
Also, there’s a whole scene of all them men nakedly bathing and you see NEITHER Keanu Reeves NOR Denzel in any state whatsoever, which is a crime against all women.
*benedict and Beatrice have a sexy verbal spar*

Me: I STILL can’t believe he cheated on Emma.

To answer this in good faith: no. When we “go back to normal” during a surge, you are not extending courtesy and support to high risk people. You are cancelling their surgeries, preventing their medical care, halting their careers. You are sacrificing their lives for yours.
Part of a social contract is that we make equitable sacrifices to preserve the safety of the state for all. Your comforts are not an equal sacrifice to my actual physical safety. This is why we have indoor smoking laws, leash laws, among other things.
To answer in slightly less good faith terms, politely killing someone is still killing them.
