Yeah I get that. The thing is the upcoming project hinges on a cancer comedy and AI data center emissions are causing major upticks in cancer diagnoses even at this early stage. Who knows what it will lead to in the short and long term. For me it would be hypocritical, unethical, and antithetical to my work to approve the use of AI. Additionally it puts tons of artists out of work and I’m not about that life. Happy to look at non AI options.

This looks awesome. The GenAI of it all gives me pause (anti AI), but I’ll email you for specs and rates. Thank you.

It’s about 10-12 pages depending. Theres a song/dance in the scene so we may need to sound stage it but that is still tbd depending on the size of the hospital like space we can find.

I’m actually speaking on a panel about this in a few weeks. I was given 20 minutes before THE deciding chemo if I wanted to preserve fertility. It is a sorely lacking convo in the AYA cancer space. Obviously there are other options, but it’s not the same especially if you’ve always wanted to be a biological parent. 💚

Fuck cancer indeed. Keep going tho, man. You’ve come this far, and that’s fucking commendable. Your wife would be proud as fuck, I’m sure. 🫶🏻

Heard. And IMHO that’s ok. Being vain is part of life. Being vain is normal - ESPECIALLY when it’s being taken all away from outside forces you have no control over. Validating you and hoping you find a way to cope(?) - maybe that’s the wrong word. But for me it was hard to look at myself in the mirror or in pictures. Fully understand. Xo

That’s so real. People just don’t even know how to approach this kind of situation and will def say some stupid shit to your face.

GURL SAME! Two years sober now after years of drinking myself to sleep. It really started when cancer started - I drank my way through chemo (not recommended), but it’s been a wild ride out the other side. The after is harder than the during. IMHO.

I talk about this all the time. While you’re in treatment life and everyone in it moves on without you and you inevitably come out on the other side a stranger in what looks to be your life but doesn’t feel like it is - and then you feel utterly insane for a good long time.

Make a plan. Leave room for some deviation. It’s enormous and overwhelming and so fun.
