When I tell you I am shocked. The same screenplay lost three other fellowships / festivals completely this week, only to advance in one of the most prestigious ones out there (that I completely forgot I had applied to). I’m especially proud that I did it with a horror comedy script. And I was sitting home sick with viral bronchitis this morning - feeling prettttttty sorry for myself - when I got the email. Can’t believe I have a legitimate reason to say this next part but… thank you to @theacademy Now for the love of Christ does anyone have a decent manager they can put my name forward to? 💀🤑😂 LOGLINE: A dysfunctional liberal couple on a cross-country move are too busy arguing to realize they’re being stalked by a neo-conservative cult. #writerlife #screenwriter #screenwriting #brag #lascreenwriter #losangeles #horrormovies #seekingrepresentation

In addition to stand up and acting, I found my voice as a screenwriter these past couple years. It’s extremely gratifying to be on this list after so many MANY hours spent alone at a computer going totally insane in Final Draft. It is my firm belief that with enough hard work and dedication I will be able to stop waiting tables within the next 5 to 32 years! Thank you @networkisa !! Seeking representation. Also if you saw me post about this three weeks ago NO YOU DIDNT. I was supposed to wait until they announced it 😅 #screenwritersofinstagram #screenwriterslife #writer #accomplishment #seekingrepresentation

Taking a break from content to simply share some of my favorite moments from 2025. Friends, nieces, weddings, and kittiez. Maybe I’ll go full 2008 Instagram and post a picture of my eggs Benedict! I love you all. Happy new year. #newyear #2025

They’re an attention seeking neurodivergent sociopath who ruins every Friendsgiving, but you’ve been friends since college so 🤷🏼‍♀️ just don’t bring up politics, religion, film, food, or Katy Perry. #lol #comedy #haha #comedian #character

We all have a Compare-And-Despair Demon. Mine is just doing his job, I guess, trying to pay the bills like the rest of us… And he’s really good at what he does! I’m lowkey rooting for him. Real talk, jealousy is a hell of a drug. My Compare-and-Despair Demon is always yammering on. Some days I tune it out and ride my own kickass wavelength. Some days I drown in it. But it hasn’t convinced me to give up yet! And some days, the “not giving up” is all I have to hold onto. What’s your compare-and-despair demon like? Any tips for how you ignore it? Asking for a friend (who’s asking for me). #lol #comedy #haha #comedian #standupcomedy #gaycomedy #gay

Homophobes could learn a lot from gay people. Shout out to @richardharringtoncomedy and @staycoolhoneybunny for having me on @barebackcomedy And for the record, most gays look sexier with a little extra stuffing around their midriff. That’s what my mom told me and I’m sticking with it! #standup #standupcomedy #lol #gaycomedy #gaycomedian #lgbt

I have been changed For Good. Meaning “permanently.” I have been permanently made worse by Wicked: For Good. And now Universal’s planning more Wicked movies, someone make it stop!!! #wicked #wickedmovie #lol #wickedforgood #jokes

HIV has been a long journey, and I’m proud to say I don’t even really think about it most days. A testament to how far we’ve come as well as how disassociated I am! Book me on your shows and I’ll give your whole audience HIV! #standup #standupcomedy #lol #gaycomedy #gaycomedian

October Threads roundup. The twist? I’m not even a bottom. The Top was coming from inside the house! Also I won a thing, conservatives are dumb, Tilly Norwood was mean to me at NYU, and Ryan Murphy should be deplatformed. #lol #jokes #threads #twitterposts #haha #gayhalloween
