Yesterday my final piece as an AV Club staff writer went up. I’ve been musing over post-pandemic tv since the beginning of the year and personally found it under discussed at the COVID 5-year mark. Really proud of how it turned out❤️ www.avclub.com/2025-tv-covi...

Earlier this month, I got laid off from The A.V. Club after 3.5 years. It changed my life and I’m going to miss it so much. Don’t know what’s coming next but I do feel more committed to the work than ever. I wrote about it on Substack if you care to check it out ❤️
