They’re gonna close down the predatory learning management system unless we put on the best dang talent show this town has ever seen!!!

i’m sorry but I just got off the phone with the college of augurs and THIS IS A SIGN. you simply MUST come to ON DISPLAY this weekend. 1000 Dean St. 6pm. It is no longer optional.

idk def not going to this

Instead of 60 days of war with Iran, we could have had 6 months of universal childcare + preschool for every single kid in the United States.

We could have paid for nearly every single person's electricity bill in the U.S. this year instead of dropping bombs on Iranians.

Man, people here really can't grasp that we're not all here to talk about The Horrors nonstop every day

Come to my show! Saturday! It is a normal amount of important that you do so!

You know those anomaly hunter video games where you have to observe small differences inside rooms for evidence of hauntings? Hear me read a story about them along with surveillance stories from @isabel.kim, @atgreenblatt.bsky.social, @timchawaga.bsky.social, & @louisevans.bsky.social this Saturday!

you know, I think we were spoiled by Heavenly Bodies? the theme was clear and enough people brought their A-game that year that we (or I) assumed it would be like that forever

I always see nonpartisan, righteous anger at public art. Everyone loves to hate a concrete blob bought with taxpayer money, what's it even meant to be etc. My hot take: art funding is good and there's no benign policy for keeping out 'bad' art. You really just gotta fund it until a good one happens

I will always go to ER or medical appointment with anyone who asks and I will make sure they feel 100% informed and in control or so help me the care team will not hear the end of it.

Super excited for this stellar lineup on May 9! See you there?

This excellent and much-needed anthology comes out today!! And I'm one of its contributors! Forever grateful to @jennybartoy.bsky.social for assembling this deeply important collection on estrangement.

I think we could get Stephen Colbert on Cancel Me, Daddy just by telling him that there is a podcast called "Cancel Me, Daddy"

Me, when the horns suddenly come in halfway through a song

My polite and effective way of saying this is this screenshot and a heavy handed but gentle stare at…quite a few of you.

Our brunch spot played Bruno Mars for 75 minutes straight and it may have been the greatest brunch I’ve had in years what a bold and yet ultimately feel-good-vibey move??

Agnes Moorehead and Ida Lupino preparing for an episode of the radio program “Suspense” in 1944.

we didn't bring our laptops to our mini-moon and also spent minimal time on our phones. it feels like whiplash to go back to staring at a screen all day. idk how my mind processed this much light for so long.

Your feeling of entitlement to free art does not supersede the reality of artists living at the poverty line.

Twelve and a half months in a relationship, five months engaged, married yesterday on the thirteenth anniversary of our first date ❤️

Replace every how-to-publish panel with one on the material realities of publishing. This is where I’m at.

finally some new items (and some old items too!) in the shop at chicorystart.net #art #needlefelting #fiberart

This is a victory for the LGBTQ+ community and for our entire city. It’s a reminder that New Yorkers won’t let our history be rewritten. Our administration will keep working to ensure LGBTQ+ New Yorkers can live safely and with dignity in our city.

A huge number of cradle Catholics I’ve heard talk about him—lapsed or not—have gone on to talk A Certain Way about adult converts, and I think non-Catholics don’t really understand this part of the culture because Protestantism is so much more loosey-goosey about a lot of this kind of stuff

Jesus is a literal prophet in Islam, practising muslims hold him in pretty high regard. It's when you ask people in the West who make Christianity their personality about Islam that the disrespect flows

Yup, same. It was unfair then and I was told to suck it up, it’s unfair now and I’m tired

Simon was our letterer for BE NOT AFRAID, and he's a major reason why the project turned out as well as it did -- Mr. Phim's angelic script, over and against the shaky regular script of the mortals, builds the mood beautifully without ever being too heavy of an effect.

Yale University, your money is tainted by your demands for Zoom calls. Peter Thiel, on the other hand.... your money is perfect

absolutely incredible ending to this saga

This was the presser opening: "Formerly, press conferences worked in a way that the propaganda media asked questions that were written for them by govt... We will now give the floor to those Hungarian outlets who are still independent."

was just saying this. it doesn’t matter that I’m doing well right now. my field is gutted and my job could disappear next year, next month, etc. and theres a bunch of guys with money going “all according to our plan to make thinking work obsolete”. the mood is grim!

i will vote for any candidate who offers up this slogan

From new Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar's acceptance speech tonight. This is the absolute BARE MINIMUM platform for any Democrat running for President in 2028.

"bro you are fate-fucked" is one of the best lines evah.

buddy, they don’t even let me we gardena in geardagum

Big fan of Headley’s, “bro.”

I spent last month calling every single service provider and bargaining them for discounts, cancelling our few remaining media subs so I could sign up again at a discount rate, and going through every bank and card statement to see what we could cut

"The right’s characterization of higher education is a fiction. Students across the ideological spectrum feel free to express themselves, think their education is worth the cost and don’t think their views are silenced." Only 3% of Republican students feel out of place on campus for their views.

Hotlines for US soldiers thinking of leaving the armed forces as "conscientious objectors" are being overwhelmed. Almost all the calls mention the bombing of the girls' school in Iran that killed more than 100 school children. www.npr.org/2026/04/10/n...

i never said you have to get formal training or a degree of any kind. study can be self-study. practice can be making lots of drafts. experience can involve sending your work out to galleries/publishers and/or sharing it online. i just mean actually doing the work. not just fantasizing/aspiring.

Treble Clef: here are the notes I hope you like them ☺️ Bass Clef: I moved all your stuff, good luck finding anything, Ds are Fs now fuck you

Some writers are great at being public figures but others write, a solitary profession, exactly because we aren’t good at that. Even a fantastic sum of money might not be enough to make you change your basic nature. What to do? If you’re Helen DeWitt you write something funny & honest.

Happy Get Fucked Confederacy Day

Hey, friends in NYC! There's a Sunset Park Rent Party on Saturday from 3-7 pm to raise money for families in Brooklyn impacted by ICE! Check it out and swing by if you have the chance!

Reminds me of this 1955 photo of Tennessee Williams. This sort of fabric was a bit more common in the 1950s and 60s. Harder to find today.
