I wrote for websites & I wrote for magazines & I wrote a book called SHARP & I wrote a TV show called THE ACT & now I hope to find some meaning in life again (but am unfortunately mired in Hollywood) 🇨🇦
the children text things like “yes bro holy” now and I am left studying such statements like they are carved into the Rosetta stone
I get it. Still!
THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

where IS the peace movement these days
The himbo is definitely an act, but he learned quite some time ago that he can use it to get by in dangerous situations, a kind of invisibility cloak. Like he is weirdly aware of how his white guy identity markets allow him to hide in plain sight — and he likes hiding. He is very very self aware.
I have a complex theory about Rob on the TRAITORS. He is not a mastermind — he has lived through a lot of trauma. He has a trauma victim’s way of reading people. He says what they want to hear to keep himself safe. He knows there are winners and losers in life because he has often been a loser.
He’s very nice and always inquires after my wife’s ankle injury.
a writer from the show also worked as a doctor there. only in LA
An actor and a musician. Then he became a nurse.
haha no we’ve been looking
Yes. My wife knows him better!
I just realized his name in the show is Jesse (his real name is Ned) anyway this is him
annual reminder that nurse Ned on the Pitt is my actual nurse at my actual urgent care

The peak TV show I think about almost every day is the little-seen Rectify. Then today I just stumbled across the theme song in a Spotify mix, and started to cry. youtu.be/F1i1SUPjLgw?...
I am so old I get teary at the young hopeful people at the Olympics now
love to have both insomnia and fatigue
the thing is that many people in entertainment really don’t do well without a script
