“As a musician, I know that songs can help make a message stick. Kidde’s “Living Jingle” drew me in because of its meaningful message,” she told 'MadameNoire.' “If I can use my voice to help spread that message in a way that will help other families, I’m on board.”

From his resignation:
"For decades, the Washington Post's editorials have been a beacon of light, signaling hope to dissidents, political prisoners and the voiceless. MORE

"Blacks For Trump?" If you're black and are voting for Trump, you've got some serious issues. What could possibly be your reason?

My mother was diagnosed with cancer when I was the district attorney of San Francisco. I remember cooking meals for her and taking her to her appointments. I did what I could to make her comfortable. I figured out which clothes were soft enough that they wouldn't irritate her, and told her stories to try and make her laugh.
Caregiving is about dignity—not just for the patient, but also for the caregiver. We must lower the costs and ease the burdens faced by our caregivers to make it easier for them to provide care, while pursuing their aspirations.
Today, I am announcing a new historic Medicare at Home benefit as part of my plan to help families with caregiving needs and strengthen Medicare for the long-term. Over 67 million people are covered by Medicare, yet many Americans don’t realize that Medicare does not cover long-term services and assistance like home health aides.
As a result, many American families face challenging and sometimes impossible choices.
My plan will strengthen Medicare to cover home care services and support for seniors. This will include providing care workers with better wages, improving the quality of care for seniors and those with disabilities, and treating our seniors with the dignity they deserve.

Happy Friday! This is what writing looks like. You can’t rush creative process. From feature film to episodic television pilot to musical stage. True passion for the arts.

BREAKING: Donald Trump gets devastating news as billionaire Mark Cuban and LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman join forces and unite over 100 venture capitalists to back Kamala Harris for president.
And it gets even better...
"We spend our days looking for, investing in and supporting entrepreneurs who are building the future," reads the "VCs for Kamala" website. "We are pro-business, pro-American dream, pro-entrepreneurship, and pro-technological progress."
"We also believe in democracy as the backbone of our nation," the site goes on. "We believe that strong, trustworthy institutions are a feature, not a bug, and that our industry — and every other industry — would collapse without them."
"That is what’s at stake in this election. Everything else, we can solve through constructive dialogue with political leaders and institutions willing to talk to us. In this pivotal moment, we are united in our support for Vice President Kamala Harris," it reads.
The announcement is a powerful rebuke to far-right Silicon Valley billionaires like Elon Musk who have thrown their support behind Donald Trump's fascist movement in the hopes of more tax cuts.
Please retweet and ❤️ to thank Mark Cuban and his allies for supporting Kamala — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a new pro-democracy social network that is exploding in popularity because Twitter and Facebook are trying to stop its growth — which is only making Tribel grow even faster.

Before you pass away, remove your kids as direct beneficiaries of your assets. Instead, place all your assets in a revocable trust and name your kids as beneficiaries of the trust. This allows them to bypass the lengthy probate process and gain immediate access to the assets.

Please stop using Black, disabled children you don’t know for engagement.
Ask yourselves what’s wrong w/ a disabled child using a walker and why does this inspire you?
I used a walker briefly as a child; I was doing nothing inspirational but walking, something ableds do daily.

Lupita Nyong'o says "interviews" are among the most irritating parts of being an actor and calls movie press junkets a "torture technique."
"Different people are being ferried in [to the junket]...[and] you have to give each one of them attention, focus, and an articulate answer that you just gave to the person before. That’s irritating.”

Sundance just opened their call for film submission for their 2025 edition. Their feature film early bird fee is now $75. Last year they received over 17,000 film submissions in 2024. You’d better off submitting to smaller festivals. Otherwise, you’re donating your money to them!

For decades, up to the movie. CODA, Hollywood hearing writers, some with savior complex tendencies, often write deaf characters who are broken or victims. Time to dismantle these same, old story tropes.
