I worked with this guy in 2000–I was a writer, he was a script coordinator and a seriously odd duck THEN. He thinks never gotten a staff writer job in 24 years because he’s white??

It’s because he’s weird and the work’s not good.

It's your time Danielle Brooks #TheColorPurple

Written and directed by Cord Jefferson. Lets go! #AmericanFiction

“The Woman King wasn’t snubbed. A snub is if it missed out on a category or two. The film was not nominated for one single craft. Not one single extraordinary performance was recognized. And when has that happened for a successful film…” Thanks for speaking the truth, Gina!

This film, this cast, & this crew fed my soul, helped me find my voice, & put me on track to always aim for creative honesty, rawness, & greatness. #grateful

They’re over 4K now! Let’s keep it going! #blackfilmmakers #director #liftthemup

Nothing is harder than trying to bring your art to the screen. This is one that needs to be told. Please lift up and support this much needed voice. #blackdirectors #femalefilmmakers #director

We made the very first collage of the phenomenal women Directors of #QueenSugar . It was a tradition for us to honor each of these talented women every season! Here’s the last one.
Know their names🖤 #42

All you need is one yes & Ava DuVernay gave that to me. Now it’s time to pass that on. The work continues. #womendirectors #grateful

“ Tina Mabry is someone that I really trusted with the story. She has been with the story since the beginning and she did a lot of really deep intentional work w/ the actors on set”

“To be a warrior, you must kill your tears.” I can’t wait to see what the warrior Gina Prince-Bythewood has in store for us. September can’t get here fast enough.

#WomenOfTheMovement has picked up another incredible nomination for 'Mother and Son' Written by Marissa Jo Cerar, and we couldn't be more proud. #HumanitasPrize

Clarence Thomas writes, in a concurring opinion, that the Supreme Court should reconsider Griswold, Lawrence, and Obergefell — the rulings that now protect contraception, same-sex relationships, and same-sex marriage.

So, as I understand the Supreme Court, the government can arrest and jail you without Miranda rights, execute you even if your lawyer screws up, force you to have a baby, and use tax dollars to support religion.

But it can't protect your right to vote or keep you safe from guns.

Los Angeles, I am literally BEGGING you to turn in your ballots. The return rate is so low for anyone under 34, and if Caruso wins, we are screwed. Rents will skyrocket even more, the unhoused will be treated like criminals, climate change legislation will be void. It’s BAD.
