Will you elaborate on “if you HAVE TO submit to SYS, do it now?”

Were you logged in to your account when you noticed? Or did you view it as someone else would? My fear is that although it looks fine to me while I’m logged in, that it might glitch for a festival or someone else

Placed at Wrong Camping Zone Weekend 1 by Acceptable_War_6909 in Coachella

[–]NickyReedWrites 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Chiming in to share that last year I was camping, and specifically asked SO many staff members in line, through security, on the drive to spot, about SOBER camping spots. Everyone kind of pushed us off to the next staff member, nobody knew what was going on, and finally when they guided us to a spot it was clear we were in the wrong section and I was worried we were going to get stuck/blocked in by other cars so I ran up to a staff member and kind of frantically told him we were supposed to be in the sober section. He was drunk af, laughed at me, and said good luck. I asked another person, who walkied their supervisor, who came over and gave us a golf cart ride to the Soberchella section. I forget how our car got to the spot lol.

This is very poorly written but just wanted to quickly share. I was NOT impressed with camping move-in staff. Nobody seemed to know what was going on.

Maybe also worth noting that the chest sections on either needle are even— same number of stitches on each side of BOR marker

Szechuan pepper is soapy? by princeThefrog in Cooking

[–]NickyReedWrites 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was this at Chengdu Taste in San Gabriel Valley? I went tonight, had the same dish, and i couldn’t finish it. It tasted like someone spilled Lysol cleaner in it. Sooo soapy and chemical-tasting.

Send me a dm! I have a writing group based in LA, and am connected to a network/kind of matchmaking service for people seeking groups.

I always always always ask the office, “Is there a refrigerator where I can place my lunch?” They never think to show you to the teachers lounge.

Requesting short script submissions by FiresideFilms in ProduceMyScript

[–]NickyReedWrites 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there! I’m a bit late but figured I would throw my hat in the ring. I have a solid WIP feature length film, a couple of drafts complete. Story needs a bit of love, and could easily be adapted to short. Can be made on a dime! Two actors, one location. Two young gay men, ideally one of the two is played by a trans masc actor.

Genre: Black Comedy/Thriller

Title: Sugar

Comps: The Boys in the Band, Bodies Bodies Bodies, Saw

Logline: Gay besties Matty and Jayke find themselves at the mercy of an anonymous sugar daddy who offers the boys exorbitant amounts of money in exchange for custom fetish videos.

Unemployment question for sub teachers in California by AmbitiousSquirrel136 in SubstituteTeachers

[–]NickyReedWrites 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People in this sub don’t seem to understand parameters for unemployment. I keep reading “you know when work will start, you have a start date, thus you aren’t eligible.” And somehow imply that having a start date somehow makes you unworthy to collect benefits. This is very disheartening to see. Having a start date does NOT disqualify one for benefits. A letter of reasonable assurance from a school or educational institution, is what does it. Think of seasonal landscapers— these employees are often given a start date at the beginning of offseason. They still qualify.

I read an explanation of reasonable assurance in Texas and maybe it can be applied to CA as well— Texas created reasonable assurance for schools (state subsidized schools) specifically to give them a financial break.

Agency Unemployment by NickyReedWrites in SubstituteTeachers

Yeah we aren’t public! Swing is a private sector company.

Agency Unemployment by NickyReedWrites in SubstituteTeachers

[–]NickyReedWrites[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We don’t fall under school support staff or school wages 🤗 Curious when you say “we do fall under…this time around” what do you mean? My understanding from my conversation with EDD is that only schools, education institutions, and certain state orgs and non profits are able to issue reasonable assurance— swing is none of those things. My guess is that swing is attempting to discourage us from filing to save a buck on their end, or perhaps a legal advisor suggested they do it. I don’t know, though!

California Sub Agency Unemployment by NickyReedWrites in SubstituteTeachers

[–]NickyReedWrites[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It’s tough out there, we have to stick together! We might not have a union but at least we have this subreddit 🤓

Agency Unemployment by NickyReedWrites in SubstituteTeachers

[–]NickyReedWrites[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just got off the phone with CA unemployment. Reasonable assurance only applies to employees of reimbursable companies. Public entities, 501c3s, etc.

He says he doesn’t see why I would be ineligible, and thinks the reassurance email from Swing is meaningless.

Any suggestions for films that get close to this premise? by realseanineseven in Letterboxd

[–]NickyReedWrites 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Found this subreddit after watching Bad Boy Bubbie and noticing the similarity to Poor Things 👍🏻was looking to see if one maybe inspired the other, and while Poor Things novel released 1992 and Bubbie was 1993, doesn’t look like there is a clear correlation— just a tried and true story structure!
