    Interviewed a Southern organizer today who told me she was skeptical and scheduled a short call because most national reporters “don’t understand our people.” Parachute journalism is killing the South. Please hire real rural writers for big pieces; we are here.

    Trump and McConnell crammed through three SCOTUS judges in a term. We can’t even seem to rid ourselves of William Dejoy.

    Long conversation today with another older self employed woman in my building. Like me, she faces potential age discrimination and ageism. It’s sad to know we’re at the top of our game pretending to be younger when that would mean we bring less skill. 🤪😡☠️

    63 studies: women who assert their ideas, make direct requests, and advocate for themselves are liked less. They're also less likely to get hired—and it hasn't improved over time. It's 2021. When will we stop punishing dominant women for violating outdated gender stereotypes?

    Ageist stereotypes about older workers not catching on to new things still persist, despite evidence that older workers often outperform older workers

  11. I'm pretty sure any career success I've had is due to resilience, adaptability, and the willingness to take intelligent risks more than skills or knowledge that might live in my brain. Getting up, dusting myself off (a lot), and saying "What the fuck, let's give it a go"

  13. The key to small talk is saying things that are obvious and uncontroversial, so you can start from a place of agreement. Examples: - wow it’s hot out - hey you’re wearing your red shirt - pizza is so good - everyone should get vaccinated

    I wrote this in 19 days. Designed to be shot in my hometown. I took the locations I knew I could get and wrote a film that played to their strengths.

    This seems like a silly question but what can you offer cast and crew if money is not immediate option apart from food and a credit?

    A YEAR WITHOUT RENT was a thing where I crowdfunded $12K to spend a year on the road volunteering on indie films. It nearly killed me.
