This fit and energy is why I will always have a place in my heart for Bernie Sanders.
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.

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.

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?

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.
