In the darkness, light finds its power. We are facing dark times, but our light of love, justice, and humanity still shines. The chaos may feel overwhelming, and progress may feel impossible, but remember what is possible when we stand together. Remember that the power rests in us, the people.

For every millionaire household that would get a tax break from Republicans’ big, ugly bill, 19 Americans would be stripped of their health coverage. Their priorities couldn’t be clearer. We must stop this devastating bill.

I interviewed Anna Biller, one of my favorite living filmmakers (The Love Witch, Viva), about her debut novel. Bluebeard's Castle uses the ancient legend to comment on modern-day violence against women. electricliterature.com/anna-biller-...

Researching my #DorothyArzner bio + writing an article 4 a collection on women filmmakers edited by @shelleystamp.bsky.social + it is staggering how many newspapers call Arzner some version of the "first" woman director despite so many successful predecessors. But this is a great pic w/ #IdaLupino!

Have to find a way to pick which of the 1000s of movies I’m going to watch on Criterion, so I landed on working through the movies that are leaving the service each month. Obviously won’t make it through 70, but it’s a good a system as any. #criterion #filmsky #letterboxd boxd.it/BZKtu

James Gunn: “I do believe that the reason why the movie industry is dying is not because of people not wanting to see movies. It’s not because of home screens getting so good. The number-one reason is because people are making movies without a finished screenplay.” variety.com/2025/film/ne...
