Still here, never left.
Every time I actually sit and really think about this.
I have been advised by my mother not to bother calling to wish her Happy Birthday until after they’ve been officially sworn in.
Birthday wishes have been delivered.

Her verdict on the day: “Everybody did what they needed to do.”

This fit and energy is why I will always have a place in my heart for Bernie Sanders.
As I was saying...
People seem to think this was a political statement when it was really just about me being generally curmudgeonly, hating being made to wait in the cold, and liking warm mittens.

In October 2018, I started getting a lot of very bizarre Q related threats and chatter in my mentions and elsewhere. Like, a lot.

And it never made any sense, because let's be real, who am I?

Eventually, it tracked back to this article, which... I mean neonrevolt.com/2018/10/18/sor…
That was followed a month later by this, which, also insane.

And again, doubly so, who am I that anyone deep in the Qanon mythology cares who I am? neonrevolt.com/2018/11/21/bla…

Shortly after @theblcklst website launched, I was introduced to Tony Hsieh, who asked me what I next needed to accomplish our mission of supporting talented aspiring professional screenwriters in making their way into the industry....
My answer was rambling: About the need for community, about wanting to start a screenwriters lab, about not having the resources to execute it

A week later he emailed to say that he could give me 15 bedrooms in downtown Las Vegas for a full week if that would be helpful.
And @theblcklst screenwriters lab was born.

I can’t claim to have known him well, which is, I think, even greater testament to him:

Tony Hsieh was uncommonly generous, often inexplicably.
