Taking a long, perhaps permanent, hiatus from Twitter. Find me on Bluesky.

Sometimes I forget Twitter exists and also that it isn’t called Twitter anymore.

A group of queers is called a “kindness”. 100% true, no need to verify.

I don’t share my early poetry - cuz it SUCKS. But sometimes… it feels right. It feels right, not to write something new. To pull out a snapshot from a time when a group of awkward queer kids (one of them not out yet [me]) all just tried to… survive together.

We were imperfect. So imperfect. Oh the therapy I have done over how imperfect! And yet - miraculous. Agonizing. A veritable, simultaneous ecstasy of joy and pain and grief. They were melancholy years. And euphoric. And funny. And cruel. But they were, are, ours.

Ellie’s journey is a reckoning, one young adult's tempestuous grief manifested in brutal, bloody, carnal combat - she is fighting her mirror, her shadow transmogrified as Abby. I've said it before & will again: to cast an actor once a frontrunner for Ellie as Abby is gorgeous.
We're thrilled that Kaitlyn Dever is joining @TheLastOfUsHBO Season 2 as Abby! We can't wait to see her journey unfold on TV. 💪

You know, I’ve spent 20 years trying to get certain songs outta my head and here all the videos come with “Songs that turn 20 in 2024” and that’s just rude.

Post PAs - I know someone hiring. Interest in Post Production a big plus. Start would probably be pretty soon (if not ASAP). DM/text/call me if you're interested and I'll answer as many questions as I can, also shoot me your resume and I'll pass along.

ADs Katie Hecker and Andrea Block created a fund for PAs during the strike. PAs work unbelievably hard and are truly remarkable members of the crew. They have no union and often get forgotten. If you can, please donate to help PAs through these strikes: goforpasalliance.org/donate

Twenty-two years ago today, one of the most epic episodes of television to ever tackle the grief of losing a parent made its way into our living rooms. 💔

I have the greatest friends. Sarah drove me to Urgent Care & a spinal specialist this week (& came in w/ me to hear diagnoses b/c I can't focus), & gets me food. & Aaron has gotten meds for me. Sally & Pam talked me thru medical stuff... in a lot of pain, but feeling very lucky.

For anyone wondering, I don't have an official diagnosis yet, have to wait for my insurance to approve an MRI. But signs and symptoms point to a herniated disc.

Remember when I wrote a 14 page essay on themes and story in The Last of Us games for fun? Who do I need to submit that to in order to be considered to write for later seasons of the show? Does that count as a spec? Kidding not kidding but mostly kidding but also not.
