please stop normalizing this. hair loves to grow when the right conditions are provided. anyone can do it. here are some haircare tips.
• make sure iron, ferritin, vit d, b12, zinc and thyroid levels are good (ferritin levels need to to be around 70-100 ng/mL even though doctors say 30 ng/mL is enough.
• do daily scalp massages to release fascia/tension from scalp.
• start using hair serum with caffeine daily.
• use a shampoo with 2% ketoconazole even if you don’t have dandruff because it will reduce DHT levels (only 2x a week).
• protect hair ends and lengths with a bond repair conditioner, a leave-in, and lightweight oil.
• use a clarifying shampoo (with sulfates) once a week (i use one with apple cider vinegar because our scalp loves low pH levels.
• wash your hair whenever scalp starts to get oily.
• eat enough protein according to your weight.
• drink hibiscus, nettle and horsetail tea.
• use rosemary water on your scalp.
• get some morning/evening sun or red light on scalp.
• if you’re going to oil your hair, consider your hair thickness. some can use thick oil like castor oil and leave it overnight. but for fine hair, hair serum with caffeine is enough. or MCT coconut oil and only leave it on for a few hours.
• sleep on 100% pure silk pillowcases.
• wear a 100% silk head covering at night if you have curly hair.
• keep your hair in braids or other protective hairstyles when you’re home.
• get enough sleep because melatonin can reduce oxidative stress in hair follicles.
• consume food such as berries, avocado, eggs, sardines, sweet potatoes, nuts, seeds and greek yogurt (will post a recipe to get nuts and seeds in easily).
• protect your peace because hair can shed excessively because of stress (but it will grow back, so don’t stress if you’re currently experiencing excessive hair shed). become serious about nervous system regulation.
• visualize your dream hair or do hair affirmations when you do your haircare.
you don’t have to do all of this. choose based on your specific hair/scalp issues. but it’s not hard to do all of this also.
every woman deserves to have hair like a cascading waterfall.
If you're getting into AI filmmaking, this is one of the most important lessons you'll ever learn.
You won't learn cinematography by reading about it. You'll learn it by reverse engineering frames until the logic behind them becomes instinct.
Here's a workflow that compresses years of visual training into a single loop you can run in minutes.
> Go to ShotDeck. Search the exact frame you're trying to build. "Comedy club." "Smoky bar." "Interrogation room, single overhead." Download the reference. You're not looking for inspiration... you're looking for a teacher.
> Feed that frame to Claude. Ask it to reverse engineer everything: lens, lighting, color temperature, composition, depth of field, and why each choice was made. You'll get back something like: 85mm. Hard key upper left. 3200K tungsten. 4:1 fill ratio. Shallow DOF. Subject in right third. Cool practical bleeding in from the background. Not just what's in the frame, but the reasoning that put it there.
> Now ask Claude for 10 prompt variations. Same cinematic intent, different executions. Shift the angle. Push the intensity. Move the subject. You're not copying the original anymore, you're riffing on the grammar of it.
> Run all 10 through Nano Banana Pro. Compare. The differences between outputs will teach you more than any tutorial because you're seeing how each variable actually affects the final image. Pick the strongest one. Adjust. Run again.
That's one cycle. You just studied a Deakins frame, understood the physics behind it, and generated 10 variations of your own.
Do it 50 times and something shifts. You stop needing the breakdown. You look at a frame and you already know the setup, the way a musician stops counting beats and just feels the time signature.
The technique becomes yours because you didn't memorize it... you rebuilt it from the inside out.
ShotDeck to Claude to Nano Banana Pro. Reference to understanding to creation. One loop, repeated until it rewires how you see.
This workflow is built into our platform. Reply "SHOTDECK" for access (must follow so I can DM).
You *really* want to read the unrevised edition of this book.
This is because Carnige's feminist wife and daughter heavily edited his book after he died to make it more politically correct
For example (among other things) they completely deleted 8 chapters on dealing with women
The unrevised edition is available here:

One of my core beliefs is that generative AI will allow anyone to tell great stories.
Hollywood put a massive gate and an insanely convoluted process to storytelling.
And the best part is they will not ask for anyone’s permission to do it.
This new initiative from Joseph Gordon-Levitt is signed and created yet again only by people around Hollywood.
If they would actually care, they would include people from the forefront of tech (Google, OpenAI, Kling, etc.) and generative AI who are pushing this tech to the limit every day, to find the path in the middle where everybody wins.
Otherwise, without a dialogue and a strong understanding of where (and how) things are going nothing will be done.
