[Riley Blankenship @RileyPBlank]

Best graduation present ever! @DnDMovie premiere at @sxsw

@JohnFDaley @JM_Goldstein thank you so much! You made me cry 😭 💗

@lafilmschool

[Riley Blankenship @RileyPBlank]

@JohnFDaley This movie will always be special to me for two reasons:

1. Getting to go to the premiere at SXSW!
2. As soon as it was out everywhere I went to see it with this guy I had just started hanging out with. We're roommates now 🥰

[Riley Blankenship @RileyPBlank]

@SCentralized And the movie wasn't even out yet!

[Riley Blankenship @RileyPBlank]

@SCentralized Yes! A random Owl City Facebook post. I just looked in the comments to see what people were saying about it and some rando said "Han Solo dies in the new star wars movie" and I was like WHAT???? Then I had to keep my mouth shut for 2 weeks till my family and I saw it.

@KaeleyT Someone's forgetting the 1st amendment exists

[Riley Blankenship @RileyPBlank]

@shann_anigans I somehow randomly got paired up with this guy at trivia night who I knew was a Republican, but only recently knew he would be a Trump Republican. Trivia's tomorrow and I almost don't know if I want to go. But having to explain why would not be a happy thing either.

[Riley Blankenship @RileyPBlank]

@ChloeCunha I acknowledge it. I know it is. I was not optimistic ever at all after watching what happened to Hillary Clinton. America hates women and people don't seem to want to acknowledge that.

[Riley Blankenship @RileyPBlank]

@thvlyt The blue ppl tend to flock to each other. All my close friends are liberal, but my roommate was on the city council a few years ago & was essentially the victim of a hate campaign dressed as a recall. He's talked a lot about how awful it was to have your own hometown turn on you.

[Riley Blankenship @RileyPBlank]

@MichaelJStern1 Probably. Feels awfully good to know your country hates you

[Riley Blankenship @RileyPBlank]

@ImmortalLou30 These people deny that these things even happen. It's remarkable. They're like- he never said that, he never did that, liberals and leftists are smearing him. It's mind-boggling. They're in complete denial and being fed lies.

[Riley Blankenship @RileyPBlank]

@YNB Alaska continued to vote for Don Young even after he suggested siccing wolves onto homeless people.

[Velodus✨ @velodus]

The single worst thing about Trump to me will always be how much he's changed people. I've watched friends and relatives become entirely new, worse people in the wake of his political rise. Like it's not merely that he's a terrible guy, it's that he's ruined people.

[Riley Blankenship @RileyPBlank]

@Resisting313392 Every election I've participated in since I was 18, he was on the ballot. I'm frankly quite sick of it. Proud say not no but hell no have I ever voted for him.

[Riley Blankenship @RileyPBlank]

@Only1Aether @KaleiRenay Please tell me this whole thread is satire

[Riley Blankenship @RileyPBlank]

@deltapie2 @NotQuiteHereTSM I think the Mat-Su is the only red rural area- maybe.

[Riley Blankenship @RileyPBlank]

@ProjectLincoln The moment he announced

[Riley Blankenship @RileyPBlank]

@JohnFDaley Fair

[Riley Blankenship @RileyPBlank]

Hey @JohnFDaley @JM_Goldstein don't know if you'll see this, but I just wanted to say I'm going to the Austin Film Festival this week because my pilot advanced to the 2nd round of the AFF screenplay contest! I find it very serendipitous that it's AFF that it finally placed in!

[Riley Blankenship @RileyPBlank]

@JohnFDaley You could come to threads.

Vague-posting is a little irritating, but it's fine otherwise

[Riley Blankenship @RileyPBlank]

@KnowingBetterYT Also, I took the SATs, cause I don't know if you know this, but there are homeschool programs that guide parents and students through testing and diploma requirements. I actually do have a diploma, and I graduated from The Los Angeles Film School with B. S. in Digital Filmmaking.

[Riley Blankenship @RileyPBlank]

@KnowingBetterYT Former homeschooler here: I had a better education than it turns out most public schoolers have- so I found out when I discovered that only 18% of Americans know what the Emancipation Proclamation did, and half of surveyed people don't even know when the Civil War took place.
