Such fun filling this out and letting Emerson know I was not a big fan of calling the cops on your own students or firing beloved staff members because of their support for Palestine. I may have used the term "flop era"--sorry in advance to the work study kid who has to read the responses.

On April 19 you can come see me talking about David Lynch at the Crystal Ballroom with a lot of other great weirdos who make and perform wonderful things. THERE WILL BE PIE

Hey buddies, here's a helpful link if you want to read encouraging words about creative resistance: www.writingco-lab.com/100-days

I wish there was a book or movie about art school kids who start a resistance with their humanities skills and ability to make magic happen with very little, based on the Talking Heads song "Life During Wartime" (not like a Bret Easton Ellis thing, not like Red Dawn) Does this already exist?

Made the mistake of reading that NYMag article about Neil Gaiman first thing this morning. It's well written and researched, but DAMN it is a very difficult and disturbing read. Be careful if you open it, ok?

I can't stop thinking about the image of a single home being protected by privately hired firefighters while others burn around them. Sometimes I feel so naive for assuming most folks want to share resources and take care of each other. Ugh ok I'm off to donate to mutual aid in LA
