If paying taxes is what makes someone a viable citizen, then the occupant of the White House is about as non-viable as it gets.

Vote for the best of the internet I just voted in The Webby People's Voice Awards and checked my voter registration.

Tonight I walked past two rats on my way home from the theatre, and I thought, yep, that’s on brand with the world right now.

Republicans saying they don’t want their tax dollars to go to schools because they don’t have kids is like me saying I don’t want my tax dollars to go to expenses incurred from the president playing golf because I don’t play golf.

Hey fellow writers! Tonight the president will address both houses of Congress, and I will not watch. That got me thinking: what if everyone here were to use that time writing, and then post what we write? Let’s do it!

If you’re overwhelmed and want to support something but aren’t sure what, find an arts organization that resonates with you and make a gift. When you do, you support artists who create, perform, teach, and remind us what it means to live in a world that values beauty. We need art and art needs us.

Out of curiosity, what’s it costing us to keep the president safe at the Super Bowl? I would think that’s an inefficient use of American money. I mean, since we’re cutting back and all…

Right now, every person who works for a nonprofit arts organization should be asking themselves, "What would I do right now if I worked for the Kennedy Center?" And then they should prepare to do it.

Turned on the news and caught the words that someone was found “dead inside” and my immediate reaction was “that’s harsh, maybe he’s just really angry” before I realized they were saying someone was literally found dead inside a house.
