Melanie Lynskey @melanielynskey.bsky.social · 14/07/2026I won an award at Sundance years ago and Sam Neill, whom I did not know, tweeted to me “we’re all so proud of you, sweetheart”. I can’t even express what that meant to me. That our most beloved national treasure, a man I worshipped, would take the time to write to me! 6711616798

A white house staffer who has unfettered access to the president’s account with no safeguards was casually watching videos in which the obamas are portrayed as apes, and then accidentally hit post? 1729371
Reposted by Melanie LynskeyClint Smith @clintsmithiii.bsky.social · 06/02/2026Was driving my kids to school and the first thing on the radio was reporting about Trump's video depicting the Obamas as apes and I think many people still don't fully appreciate what it means to have to raise Black children in a country where the president is so brazenly and consistently racist 7952121234
Melanie Lynskey @melanielynskey.bsky.social · 25/01/2026I am raising a kind, caring child who is hurt and confused whenever she sees someone behave in a mean or selfish way, and this gentle little person is growing up in a world half-full of loud, cruel, racist idiots who have more empathy for corporations than for actual human beings.

Reposted by Melanie LynskeyMark Harris @markharris.bsky.social · 16/09/2025What Robert Redford contributed to American films via Sundance is genuinely immeasurable. He was also an extraordinarily talented director--Ordinary People and Quiz Show are two of the best American studio movies of their eras--and an actor who somehow wore his incredible charisma almost shyly.

Melanie Lynskey @melanielynskey.bsky.social · 24/01/2025Please see Hard Truths even though it was SOMEHOW nominated for nothing today. It’s so incredibly good, and so funny, until you realise you stopped laughing and started crying but can’t quite pinpoint when.

At the age of 14 I rented his films from our local video store over and over again.
