if anyone has an extra ticket to the hilary duff show...i will buy it from you

Solidarity with the Starbucks workers in their ongoing fight for a fair contract!

Love the new Del Water Gap album & spoke to Holden about opening for Niall Horan and how a visit from Isabella Rossellini to the film club he started with his 101-year-old grandma inspired the title of his new record

Happy 1st birthday to Nora Ephron at the Movies! I honestly can’t believe it’s been a year since my first book came out. Thank you to every person who has bought my book, shared posts about it on social media, wrote reviews & let me yap about it in interviews bookshop.org/p/books/nora...

i need offices to not be uncomfortably cold at all times

I'm back on the Rooney beat! Spoke to Robert Schwartzman about how opening for Jeff Lynne's ELO inspired him to make a new album (!!) & his film production company Utopia. people.com/robert-schwa...

This week, it’s the 30th anniversary of my favorite movie of all time Now and Then. If you’ve never seen it I implore you to watch it this weekend & read my NYT retrospective on why it’s a girlhood masterpiece from 2020 www.nytimes.com/2020/10/23/m...

ICE kidnapped a 7th-grader with a pending asylum claim and spirited him out of state without notifying his parents, seemingly with the cooperation of the local police in Everett, MA. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/10/12/m...

I don't always reply to the pitches I receive from publicists (because I have a job that I do and if I did, I would never get to do my job). But here is a tip for aspiring publicists: Critics do not "write a Rotten Tomatoes review." No critics do this.

Maybe my favorite thing I've done for my book Nora Ephron at the Movies is this shoot + interview with NJ Monthly. I love an excuse to talk about my home state, Nora, rom-coms and my old Jersey haunts. In the latest print issue! njmonthly.com/articles/art...

Bad Bunny “is probably the most important musician in the world right now—the person future generations will point to when they talk about what the early 2020s sounded like,” Kelefa Sanneh writes.

Been in Los Angeles less than 24 hours and six people have asked if I’ve seen One Battle After Another and my response is “I’m on book tour. My life is one battle after another.” Anyways. I’m talking with my king of LA @specktor.bsky.social, at Skylight tonight. I’m so psyched.

I profiled the very funny Sarah McLachlan for a print feature on the Lilith Fair documentary, her new album Better Broken & the impact of that infamous ASPCA commercial

New from @iamleslierangel.bsky.social and me: Rep. Nicole Collier spent the night held hostage in the Texas House. Then four enraged women — many of them mothers — refused to leave her side overnight. The slept in jail; are banned from Capitol grounds for a year. thebarbedwire.com/2025/08/19/h...

Real talk (reel talk?): BWDR recently lost a partnership that covered nearly half our operating budget, so things are suddenly very tough. If what we do has ever meant something to you, or you’ve ever thought about subscribing, now’s the time—it *truly* makes a difference.

some news i never announced because i was constantly promo-ing my book the past year: i'm a music editor at PEOPLE Magazine & today is an anniversary of sorts !! if any publicists have any big or small ideas for print/digital get at me - [email protected]

The cover of the summer issue of @lilithmagazine.bsky.social by Jenny Kroik is gorgeous! (my review of @lanikaps.bsky.social’s book on Nora Ephron is in this issue—will share when it’s online)

My review of @lanikaps.bsky.social’s book on Nora Ephron is now online over at @lilithmagazine.bsky.social lilith.org/articles/all...

with the new ikwydls movie out i revisited my interview with jennifer love hewitt from 2021 for @vulture.com where we talked about the 20th anniversary of heartbreakers but also the objectification of her body during that time which is unfortunately still relevant

One thing you can do Right Now is be extremely vocal when you have librarians stocking inclusive collections. Call and tell them how happy you are, show up to board meetings. Bc the other side is *always* complaining and doing it in an organized way. also you can donate to Lavonnia Moore here:

Em dashes are like 80% of my personality and the other 20% is hot sauce

i'm so angry and sad. so many people are devoid of empathy rn and if you have kids, I really hope you're teaching them to care about other people

You’re never going to be a millionaire or billionaire, so why do people keep voting as if they’ll ever be part of the one percent? They’ll never feel a raise in their taxes. But you will feel the loss of Medicare, SS, cost of living, literally everything! You will feel it.

Had a blast talking to @jasondashbailey.com and @fifthcolumnfilms.bsky.social about Sixteen Candles, Molly Ringwald and its problematic legacy on the Guide for the Film Fanatic podcast — as well as my book Nora Ephron at the Movies. Listen here! pod.link/1274489817/e...

My new standup special Positive Reinforcement premieres TONIGHT at 8pm eastern time on Blonde Medicine’s YouTube channel. I’m really proud of this hour and grateful to all the people who helped make the special happen. Watch here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAvN...

clearblue really hit my younger self hard. lorde really made an anthem for the girls who've taken pregnancy tests & experienced the crippling fear of losing your autonomy & the inexplicable liberation and relief when the result is negative

you could be a bestselling author, writer, editor with a ton of success and clips and still be unemployed at this juncture bc media is in such trouble

Do I know any writers who specialize in covering visual arts? The tech startup my husband works for is looking for someone with that experience to transcribe/write 1,000-word stories (each $350-400). DM me if you're interested

I wrote about why Addison Rae fully deserves to be pop's next "it girl" and how the 2014 Tumblr girl revival, Brat and the waning of the "clean girl aesthetic led her — and us — to this moment
