sorry but releasing graphic videos of someone being murdered isn’t journalism

if you come across the video of my friend’s worst trauma and worst moment, please report it using the “graphic content” option

You know how Gatsby used to throw extravagant parties in the hopes Daisy might see from across the lake?

Non-industry folks who may not know: the studios can use snippets of our work w/o compensation for promotional purposes. By putting the film up in small parts, they get $ from the ads that they don't hv to compensate us for because of a technical loophole. Part of why we strike.

MFA faculty--if you treat your students like this in your programs, quit/retire already and get the heck outta the way! Make room for others who WANT to mentor and do the work. And if you *know* your co-workers/students are like this, HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE. Eff toxic workshops!!

Reading many beautiful tributes to Ryan Carson today as I reflect on this shocking, horrific news of his death.

Ryan's compassion was evident in everything he did. My fondest memory is of a night out we spent together with friends in Albany last year.

We all stayed up late in…

why?

overwhelmed by how chaotic, sad, and unknowable the world is, but determined to continue to live here and try my best to make it better

I’m not sure of much, these days. Hardly anything. But I know this world will break your heart with its beauty and its cruelty, usually in heartbeat-quick succession.

hey, you know it benefits all of us if everyone makes enough money to thrive? like it's objectively good for society if we all can afford to live?

Are people just stuck in a 2002 mindset where an apartment costs $700 and a weekly grocery run costs $80? Is that what this is? $25 would be a lot for a restaurant job twenty years ago, it’s not now because literally everything essential has doubled in price. This is not hard.

People tend to be ok with me telling them that I got Long Covid, but not ok with me telling them that THEY could get Long Covid, which is strange, because the latter is the more relevant information

I hate when people ask me what I meant by something. Listen, I have no idea. I’m as confused here as you are.
We’re both learning what I’m about to say at the exact same time.

You know what could help keep many people safe from extreme weather events? Making remote work permanent. The rich are putting short-term real estate profits over workers' lives.

they arrested someone for Tupac's murder the day after Feinstein died. from this we can only assume she was protecting him all these years

DO NOT WALK IN FLOOD WATER

DO *NOT* WALK IN FLOOD WATER

Another day of explaining to mom that New York is big and the footage she saw wasn’t shot on my street.
