I've written tv you've heard of and theater you probably haven't.

I have one more act to write so this is me, virtually pacing.

I googled randomly to see what Janet Mock is up to because and that lady's life contains multitudes. I'm impressed.

Threads is very intense. It's like the streets during summer. Bluesky is quiet. Like a house party that just kind of happened. Extrovert v introvert.

I let myself get comfortable with raw dogging plane air, but next time jet blue sees me, I'll be masked up. Cause we don't learn here, just repeat the same mistakes till we're all dead.

I think I know enough. I don't need to learn anything else about America.

With each Supreme Court ruling and as the govt collapses, I'm really glad I got to spend my 20s feeling like things were hopeful. I could party with abandon. Dream big dreams. I was free! That all feels like the old days now. I'm sorry ppl in your 20s...and everyone else.

Every time something from Project 25 happens there should be an addendum: this was the plan all along and look they are trying to implement.

Yes, Melania, you have figured it out - Jimmy Kimmel is the problem.

If all these attempts were legit, America has the most incompetent assassins ever.

If I were maga pr, I would hire some out of work tv writers and ask them to script some better scenes. And if I were a smart maga (lol) I'd pretend like it was for a fake tv show. And then I'd just keep giving notes to adjust to the issue at hand. Ijs.

Coachella is trying to wipe all of the footage of The Strokes protest set so I’m gonna post it here. The last images on the screen made me cry.

An 80 degree day in nyc psychologically removes winter from your short term memory allowing you to consider nyc, briefly, as heaven.

I think a matriarchal society is the only way America stands a chance. And yet men are blocking us in every way.

It really took an entire industry to crash for me to (almost) finish a play. And I really forgot that feeling of writing something pulled from the depths of my soul.

10 years into my relationship I have finally acquiesced into sharing a single Netflix account. My last shred of independence, lol. Thanks increased fees.

Sometimes, when I talk to ppl outside my bubble, it's comforting to know that no matter the industry almost everyone is struggling. Sad comfort I guess.

I really like Zendaya, but also I just realized, I have never seen her act. I guess I'm just a fan of her existence.

Sad when an old talented actor chooses this stance at the end of their life. This is how you'll be remembered but I guess he knew when he signed to, but damn, John.

Sometimes when slaves we're being publicly hung, white folks would pack picnic lunches, bring their kids and watch. Same vibes. I believe they would also distribute body parts of dead slaves as well, as mementos.

The way my pitches are so good and I should perform them at The Moth if my show doesn't sell. Maybe we have a night of failed tv pitches that you know are good but won't work in a post DEI world. There will also be whisky and tissue boxes.

The Afroman trials is the best tv show on today. Paramount merger couldn't stop this drama. This is like the Black, Best In Show or Waiting for Guffman. I hope it never ends. Forget, The Pitt - this is better.

You really don't know when you're born, or even as a kid that you've agreed to work forever just cause you exist. That's the contract we never signed.

Have you noticed how intelligent and well spoken (and handsome!) the Iranian military spokespeople are? And so polite. I wish them well in their endeavors.

I fear next year's academy awards will be very much whiter, as will the Emmy awards, as we struggle with what story gets to be made in this new-old America.

I remember once a white male playwright who was en fashion (at the time) said, with no irony, he believed he works the best because he's better than everyone else. I have never forgotten that, it explains so much about the world.

Sean Penn winning for that role over Delroy is the perfect shorthand for exactly what Hollywood is.
