Buffy reunion on the line today. Me with David Goodman and Diego Gutierrez, who got their starts there!

I'm proud to be part of a coalition of television showrunners, creators and directors pushing our employers to address cast and crew safety in abortion-hostile jurisdictions.

So lovely and unexpected to see Husbands come up in this review of the new Neil Patrick Harris show!

Scott D. Pierce: A married, gay ex-Mormon was crazy TV in 2012. Today, a gay show is just a show. From "Husbands" to "Uncoupled" in 10 years — gay TV has changed a lot.

This time right here, today and tomorrow and our common greeting at this time— I think this is why they went with “omicron“ over “nu”.

Saw someone on here saying the word "since" should only be used to indicate time, not causation. Wondering how they feel about "hence," "while," "if/then," and, say, "consequently". Post hoc ergo propter hoc is built into our language, like it or not.

Had a pleasant day eating cookies in bed, looking forward to a good sleep, and now there’s all these crumbs. What the heck?

The word for “boring” in Māori is “hōhā”. How perfect is that?

Episode 5 of Foundation goes up on Apple+ tomorrow, October 15. You are gonna love this one. A brilliant determined woman vs a life-or-death science puzzle. One of my absolute faves in season 1. Hard sci fi with brains and heart.

I’ve always found it kind of awkward and confusing that foreword and forward are pronounced the same. But it just occurred to me… is it fun? Is it purposeful whimsy? Is there joy in it that I ignored?!

Okay, finally found one of those “Drop a picture of you that looks like an album cover” pictures.

OMG everyone. My very short story is up at Future SciFi. I'm so proud and nervous. I don't do a lot of short fiction and my heart is in this one.

Check out the other stories too -- there's always great stuff there.

Nobel Prize Speech Draft of Paul Winterhoeven, with Personal Notes Ladies and Gentlemen: the invention for which you are giving me this award is a fraud. It has an unforgivable bug. Ladies and Gentlemen, I accept this honor. Ladies and Gentlemen. This isn’t what I had in mind. I have been told it is customary to speak about the roots of one’s inspiration

I’m telling you right now, I’m going to rub my nightlight on my armpit someday.

Tomorrow night - (Tues, Aug 17) - an episode of Fantasy Island that I wrote with the amazing Our Lady J airs. Is it a FaceOffing or a FreakyFridaying? Check it out on Fox!

I just ate an avocado solely to provide a savory buffer between the banana pudding and the key lime pie.

I get "Labradoodle," but where do you get the "d" in Goldendoodle? Seems like it should be a "Golden Retroodle".

I'll just be fainting quietly into the corner now. Thank you,

And a great grandmother on the other side— Mary Agnes Katen, anglicized from Caetano. Just got these photos and so happy to have them!

Going thru old photos. The one in the middle is my great-grandma, Elva. Love the setting!

So many ways to establish a character is someone's sister - have her reference "Dad". Have a kid call her "Aunt whatever". Or just let viewers wonder for a page or two. Writing "Hi, sis" as the 1st line of a scene is pulling a filth-smeared ripcord when you're still in the plane.

The Winchell's near me closed so I went to get a pastry at the coffee shop, but it was boarded up, but then I saw a Donut Star, but they had no custard or cream-filled so I got 1 with lemon goo and 1 with chocolate goo and it was a Happy Donut Day after all!

Jane Espenson: The Tit-Tones.

The small intriguing box of coffee cordials that I bought this morning and that never left my custody is mysteriously empty. I regret that I am the prime suspect.

Tomorrow, I'm at 2 shots + 2 weeks. Taking myself (masked) to a farmers' market and picking out my own produce for first time since this started. Building up the idea so much in my mind, it's bound to disappoint. Can't wait to eyeball a grape.
