I once had an older white theater director (working on a play of mine) tell me, he used to think everyone else had a race - but white was default, raceless. It took him a long time to realize he himself had a race. I'll never forget this. And still don't know why he needed to tell me.

Because of the way America is set up (esp economically) I think if all major league sports boycotted until ICE was dismantled, I think it could be done in a week. Or less.

I guess 2026 is the reckoning of whiteness. I always knew this would be a white v white revolution.

So the tactics used on Black ppl over the years was just preparation.

The venerable monks walking for peace must've had a feeling shit was about to pop off.

It's amazing that the same women who were knitting pussy hats are now in goggles protecting their streets. Evolution of revolution.

Have I got a contemporary time travel pitch, hear me out:

I used to think writing could help save us but now I think it will just serve as a reminder of who we were and what could have been.

Unrelated: so happy the Wicked junket is over for good.

As clergy pray, arrests begin

I knew this was next. Darkly looking forward to white brothers and sisters holding hands and singing, We Shall Overcome Somedayyyyyy...,

Ryan Reynolds writes in such crazy overtures that I googled to see if he's gone to college, and google said he dropped out after 45 minutes and now everything makes sense.

Q: How are you doing? A: Dissociating, how bout you?

What I miss most about ye olde twitter was having fun with academics.

Anyone saying Sinners was just ok is not that smart and I appreciate when ppl let me know who they are.

I have never, ever been more scared when a Black woman was on screen, because this was the worst dialogue I've seen in a long time. I think PTA should only write white characters from here on out, as a fan.

Man, I saw Delroy Lindo leaving a theater in nyc (after kicking ass in a play) and I almost broke my, don't talk to actors unless you're working with them rule. I'm so happy for his nom. Not only was he phenomenal in Sinners but also in everything he's in from stage to film.

Teyana Taylor could win an academy award and that is fascinating.

Sinners was maybe the best part of 2025 for me. (That's not a flex at all, lol.)

It doesn't matter if Sinners wins every nomination. But it should win every one of its 16 noms.

If I were a non white woman whose racist husband flirted hard publicly with a blonde, and I was already a self hater, I'd maybe let him hit it raw that night to show I can be your naughty Christian blonde with the lights off, and here we are. Congrats Usha!

If you're a professional hater, raise your hand.

Very disappointed to not be a big drinker during these times.

I saw a deal for 5 pounds of Romano cheese for 10 dollars as opposed to 60. I thought, bet. Turns out 5 pounds of Romano cheese could technically last my entire lifetime.

On MLK Day is diabolical.

Who would've thought a Nobel prize could cause all this commotion? Who would've believed that Greenlanders would be looking for escape routes in case things get hot? These are special times

I don't even know what she said cause she foreign - has to be the most American line ever sung.

Hard to get a dollar out of 15 cents.

Post racial is something they really stated as fact. You have Obama, we have ended racism. My goodness, lol.

Remember DEI? Remember post racial?

America has made me extremely cranky. Like, snap, crackle, pop off.

There's one Woody Allen movie, starring a Black woman - it's a prostitute. That's the moment I knew, some prolific white men have no range in their pen.

Some times I think white men should write more diverse characters, but you know what, maybe I was wrong. I take it back.

One Battle After Another is a shocking movie. I am watching mouth agape. I could've never imagined.

Never before have I watched a movie and thought, please no more Black ppl. Please.

I don't think Paul Thomas Anderson needs any more diversity in his films. White ppl only from now on, please.

'Let's fuck baby while the bomb goes off' is a line that will stay with me forever.

I met a successful writer once who told me that he works all day in a tiny room with blackout curtains. Just locks himself in there for the day. At the time it sounded awful but now I think he was on to something.

I have a funny idea... what if we allllll apply?

This is why men ask women to smile, cause a glaring side eye could cause internal bleeding they are very weak creatures.

Minneapolis has the most theater of almost any other city. It's a place filled with artists. It's one of the most truly diverse places I have ever been. Artists are fighting for their lives and neighbors lives and humanity.

The farce of writing these days, is writing a world where today's problems are not part of the drama. A world where was never Covid, ice, or Trump. A fictionalized version of the world is much more sellable than the truth.

There are less than 10 trans athletes according to the head of the NCAA, so ask yourself - why are we here?

In an uncertain world filled with anxiety, I have just discovered that savory oatmeal is delightful. Maybe 2026 will be ok despite the evidence.

I always forget that Paul Thomas Anderson has a Black wife... for obvious reasons.

Marry Supreme vs Sinners feels so personal.

I'm so tired of being angry...

What were you doing when you were 28? I bet you weren't lying on camera.

It's like we had a choose your own adventure book, but most Americans don't read and choose the worst plot.

I watched a tik tok where a former MAGA explained that she never watched videos of bad incidents just watched the conservative news reporters biased version and I just hate living in a world with the stupid.
