someone who is an expert in scoring and/or lighting needs to write an essay about this show with this scene as the focal point. the fear with a book to film adaptation is always the loss of the internal monologue, but with this show you still get every goddamn emotion you need

Jacob tierney needs to teach a class on adaptation

Yep it totally sounds like this show has been "desexed" www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

Thank you Vicki!

“A clarinet player was arrested after playing her instrument to the tune of the ‘Ghostbusters’ theme song outside of a Portland ICE facility…”

public opinion and thermostatic backlash are a bit like surfing a wave. and the thing about surfing is you don’t just sit there waiting for a wave to come take you; when a wave is approaching, you start swimming in the same direction to catch it. if you do nothing, it’ll pass underneath you right by

“sir, harry styles is dating a third Black woman”

Something I find so deeply offensive personally is when Zionist or kahanist Jews imply that the only Jews who are anti-Zionist are those who do not live meaningfully Jewish lives or are devoid of Jewish community. I’ve even had people come into my DMs to say this to my face.

Andrew Cuomo gets publicly humiliated. Bill Clinton learns his endorsement is worth less than dogshit. What a great time to be a hater. A golden age.

congratulations nyc holy shit

Happy Pride I'm going to rank my queer romance books on their cishet representation 🌈🧵

there is no better feeling than telling a woman who is happy to be divorced “congratulations on your divorce”

You have three days, starting today, to leave a public comment with the FDA about, say, why COVID-19 boosters should remain available to everyone and also free. "Individual consumer" is the category you most likely want (unless you are one of the other categories; if so, choose that).

Hey #booksky I finished an ARC of this book today and it is SO good. I loved Yael. I loved Ravi. I loved Gina and Mia and Charlie and Suresh and Sanaa. @rachelrunyakatz.bsky.social built an incredible cast with such depth and tenderness with well timed comedy. Pre-order this book.

The longer I sit with it the more I really appreciate Hailee Steinfeld’s casting in Sinners. To have someone who ACTUALLY has a little bit of Black ancestry but looks the way she does both made many of the jokes funnier (you /sure/ she’s white? and the double take) and more honest than casting a

Everyone needs to see sinners. In theaters. Staying through the credits

It really feels like all of them are in the Evil Olympics and they’re all winning gold

Everyone else is like…vibrating with anger all the time too right

Me, getting enraged by the news between promo efforts today.

If you're satisfied with Dems after this, or are ready to forgive them for fucking up their points of high leverage (nominations and the funding bill) in exchange for this, I'm probably not someone you want to follow on here

The Booker thing is fine; good even. It's better than anything Senate Dems have done to date. If theyd be doing stuff like this and using unanimous consent and other objections to slow nominations from day 1 we'd be in a better place as a country.

What booker is doing is like the first thing I’ve seen an establishment dem do that remotely meets the moment

Netgalley widgets are going out to people who’ve liked my previous books shortly and I really want to hide

If you spend these days convincing yourself what is plainly happening in the US right now isn't happening, can't be happening, or won't get worse, you will not be in position to understand how we got here, how to fight, and how to build after we win. Such people cannot be in charge of the Dem party

Can’t wait to see mark Zuckerberg and that fuck ass chain in court

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

excellent work from serwer. after years of bullshit, the atlantic finally has a piece out about the stifling of speech on campus that is actually urgent and relevant

“That’s part of the magic of Gaga’s artistry; she makes those of us marginalized by society feel seen through her own experience and creative vision.” I’ve been obsessed w/ the disability connections in her work since watching Gaga Chromatica Ball, & I got to write about it for @xtramagazine.com!

I love Baltimore

Jess is amazing to work with - highly recommend moving her to the top of your query list if you’ve written what she’s looking for!

Whenever I see a review of some book that’s like there is SO much SWEARING I am DISGUSTED and giving this ZERO STARS I always kind of think how on earth do you cope with literally anything in the modern world lol. Like how do you just exist without expiring of horror every five seconds.

a lot of rotten shit in the world, worst thing you can do is look at laws and pronouncements and see destined. nothing is ever destined.
