My father, a NYC parks gardener of over 18 years, has now been fired due to the vaccine mandate. His religious exemption was illegally denied. He has filed a formal complaint of religious discrimination with the EEOC and will be pursuing legal action subsequently if need be.
At least three times during this ordeal he has been asked by NYC parks to waive his right to challenge this legally. He has not done so, and he will fight this, not just for himself but for all whose religion has been illegally discriminated against during these mandates.
He is currently without any income as he fights this. If you would like to support him in his fight, contact me privately. Since the recent crowdfunding hacks and stopping of funds for truckers, I do not trust those sites. Thank you for reading.

i feel like Pete Davidson gets with so many famous women not because he's more desirable to them than other male celebs, but because he doesnt turn any down. we're not look at the right stats. yes i am sabermetrics-ing pete davidson's conquests
take a John Cusack or whatever who reads as a very picky individual. not saying this is accurate but im sure the rate in which he turns down famous women is astronomical, or at least has been in the past
a lot of famous dudes are constantly trying to screen out anyone who will annoy them in the slightest. and if all you're around are hollywood actress types, you're gonna be doing a lot of that. i dont think people consider enough how annoying famous women can be as people
Redefining words is power. Everyone knows what words have been redefined over the years, but an important one has escaped notice—film. There is a war against us truly independent filmmakers (waged by the studio system) to classify what we make as 'content' and not 'film'.
In truth, an art form doesn't even exist yet until it's democratized—film is such a young art form that only recently has it becomes something The People are allowed to do on their own like pen to paper, fingers to guitar. The studios' lie is a HUGE one.
They want you to think PEOPLE create CONTENT and STUDIOS create FILMS. This is not a wild conspiracy theory of mine—this is *literally* what they have done every step of the way as worthwhile film art has been created truly independently by individuals, threatening their power.
Most movie ideas fail at this right off the bat, because they have already been explored by the idea haver. Thats why you get movies that feel like a book report about itself
‘What if thing i understand fully’

NO SHARK is a journey i took, sparked solely by ‘i wonder what a shark movie without a shark in it would/could be like’
25,000 words later it’s one of the best things ive ever written
Creating and fostering genuinely new things is the hardest thing in the world for conservatives—and yet all they want to do is have and raise kids 🤷♂️
They are natural creators and nurturers, yet have difficulty extrapolating that—which means they have been perverted in some way
Conservatives have become cautious to the point of extinction in most spheres—and mistrained to believe that to be their virtue, their core
Poking holes in the new is how they attack their enemy—but also how they stifle their own side’s mavericks and innovators
Huge problem
Conservatives treat artists as liberals until proven otherwise—and wonder why/how the left control the arts. They control it because the realm is ceded—instead of seeing conservative values in someone following their soul’s passion and not compromising, the right sees a traitor
Make a movie this year.
You have 365 days to do it.
But you really only need 1.
Just make something, anything.
Even if it sucks.
*Especially* if it sucks.
All steps forward are a step forward.
Create!
Don't 'plan'.
Don't 'pitch'.
Don't 'have a meeting'.
Just *DO*.
The goal is not to convince someone to *let* you make a movie this year—the goal is to let YOURSELF make a movie this year.
Be your own greenlight.
Create with what you have, or can readily have.
Create with WHO you have, or can readily have.
You have so many resources—maybe not to create your dream project, but to create the project that can only be created from you and your resources.
Discover what that is and make it.
Christmas just came early. 🎄
RAMEKINS: RAMEKIN II is now available for FREE on YouTube! Read this thread to find out why, if you're curious—it's important information.
Starting Nov. 1, 2021, Amazon Prime Video drastically changed how you are able to find truly independent films on its platform—from that date onward, only STUDIO films are allowed to be 'free to Prime members', and as such, show up when browsing.
This means that the tens of thousand of people who enjoyed RAMEKIN have to by chance deliberately type in 'ramekin' into search in order to even find out that a sequel was released. This has hugely hindered the sequel's ability to reach the first film's audience.
