I'll always be proud of fighting with Max Landis at an NYCC round table interview. (I was 25 and he was very mean and intimidating but I held my ground!) sure wish people would stop giving that creepy asshole jobs tho

For me, it's less about the "journalists need to stay out of fandom" reaction and more that sweeping staff cuts and deprioritization of culture coverage have made it even harder for journalists to write about fandom in the complex, thorough way it deserves

In his acceptance speech for award for best screenplay, Ryan Coogler said β€œwhen you look at a blank page, think of who you love” and I dunno, that really moved me so I wrote it down and sat it on my desk to look at while I work

Today is the first anniversary of this post. I'm still looking for more work/a new job. If anyone here is looking for a culture journalist with deep experience in reporting, critical analysis, cover stories, etc, let's connect. Highlights of my work are below. Full portfolio and email are in my bio.

how it works:

1. reserve a hotel room with a hilton that is a-okay with hosting ice

2. hold that rsv until the cancellation date

3. …at which point you realize oh you can’t go because the roads are icy! alas ❄️

4. then perhaps you do it all over again
