THEN you may come back to me and make jokes about joe perry (lead guitarist for Aerosmith) not to be confused with the gorgeous and talented kc perry, who wrote the episode with the fabulous kyle Arrington.
thank you to @julieplec and michael narducci (for the confidence/lunacy you demonstrated in allowing me to do this) and to the phenomenal cast and crew.
kurt jones, thank you for your vision and creativity and desire to do something we’d never seen.
thank you also to anthony kountz for holding my immaculately soft and delicate hand (Lancôme) and walking me through the mine-field.

represent have made a kickass T-shirt to support my efforts here in Uganda.
all money raised, will be donated to OXFAM; who supply clean water, sanitation, food and incredible care to these refugees.
a brutal civil war still rages in South Sudan, but remains disgracefully unspoken about within our media back home.
millions are on the brink of famine.
millions more have been stripped of everything they have.
please join me and the warriors of OXFAM in their campaign to assist the afflicted of this crisis.
i’ll push this campaign for 2 weeks.
let’s discuss this issue as long as we all have breath.
love and (I really mean this) — PEACE.

documentary on NETFLIX now.
perhaps one of the most courageous things I’ve ever seen.
an Indonesian man confronts several murderers instrument in the massive and horrific genocide that took place in his country over half a century ago. a study of the denial and lingering tragedy that lurks beneath the surface of the Indonesian people and the deceit employed to deny this terrible history.
truly chilling and truly inspiring, all at once.
companion piece to ‘the act of killing’, by one of the most important filmmakers today — joshua oppenheimer.
Other countries on the brink:
Nigeria, Somalia and Yemen.
#fightfamine with me.
so ok —
I know my posts must seem kind of depressing. but while I remember — this extraordinary book discusses an epidemic in the 1980s where millions of Americans were led to believe that vicious ritual satanic sacrifice was happening right beneath their noses. it is also an incredible study in the frailty/susceptibility of the human mind to generate nightmarish fantasies indistinguishable from actual memories, beneath certain circumstances, coercion and influence.
it centers on the Ingram family of thurston county, washington — and a myriad of terrifying/obscene ‘confessions’ and ‘accounts’ issued by both parents and children that could not possibly have taken place.
a portrait of a national hysteria and massive delusional fantasy, created largely by the cult of christianity.
this was by lawrence wright, the dude who wrote ‘going clear’ — the study of scientology which later became a documentary film.
enjoy.
