Are y’all watching St. Denis on NBC? I laugh out loud multiple times an episode. This show is hysterical.

I’m thrilled to announce our dates for screening in my hometown of Winston-Salem, NC at the a/perture cinema! This movie is so dear to my heart and to have the chance to screen it again at such a wonderful theater is nothing short of a dream!! Link for tickets👇🏼! aperturecinema.com/movies/inher...

MY MOVIE IS BEING RELEASED IN AN ACTUAL THEATER TOMORROW AND I AM GOING TO SIT AND WATCH THIS MOVIE WHICH IS AN IDEA I HAD 10+ YEARS AGO!!

But we were overreacting? Right?! “Inside the Justice Department, officials appointed by President Donald Trump have expressed desire to withdraw from other desegregation orders they see as an unnecessary burden on schools” www.wwno.org/education/20...

Are you in the LA area next week? Because I would love to see you at the theatrical premiere of “Inheritance” at the Laemmle Glendale & Laemmle Santa Monica!! We will be doing a Q&A after both screenings!

Incredible news! My movie is having a limited theatrical run beginning next week! I’ll be at the Tues screening at the Laemmle Glendale & the Thurs screening at the Laemmle Santa Monica! Come join us! www.laemmle.com/film/inherit...

Was thrilled to speak with Great Day Live this morning about “Inheritance” and the Sunscreen Film Festival! www.wtsp.com/video/featur...

Clearwater/St. Pete/Tampa!! The screening of my movie “Inheritance” is tomorrow night!! I would love to see you all there!! sunscreenfilmfestival2025.eventive.org/schedule/67c...

I was fortunate enough to speak with the phenomenal Nanette Wiser about “Inheritance” and all things acting/art/authorship and of course filming in Clearwater!! audioboom.com/posts/870718...

My husband, man. WHEW! Got a flat tire pulling into Whole Foods. He handled everything while I shopped, put me in a Lyft, rode with the tow truck, got me a new tire, and brought my car home! 😍

Feels so good to be home. Never want to be away from my husband for more than two weeks though from now on. Too hard.

Just boarded my plane home and the amazing @joshmankiewicz.bsky.social is on my flight, but I didn’t want to bug him. Just know one of your biggest fans is chillin’ in the middle of the plane, sir!

Super honored that our film, our director, and my performance are nominated for awards at the 20th @sunscreenffstpete app.robly.com/archive?id=e...

The country is falling apart, but I’m sitting in a house built in the 1940s in North Carolina that’s the setting of our haunted house movie. It’s raining outside, the cast is made up of my friends, and the crew couldn’t be nicer. I’m quite happy.

This is probably fine. Because at least the penguins will finally be paying their fair share. 🙄 (PS not totally sure the Orange Demon didn’t think the penguins were The Penguin and he thinks he’s Batman.)

If nothing else, this birthday showed me that the one thing I’ve done right in this life it’s the people I’ve been lucky enough to surround myself with. I’m so eternally grateful for the community I have now. Took a while to find my “people,” but I’m so happy to be where I am today.

Dear actors and writers, if you ever for one second think our jobs aren’t important or don’t matter… just look at the nonstop discussion of one single scene in one single episode of White Lotus and realize how great of an impact our art can have.

My movie is in the River Run Film Festival in my hometown of Winston-Salem, NC and I’m going!! Come join me on Wednesday April 16th at 7:30 for our screening of “Inheritance”!! riverrunfilm.com/events/inher...

One problem with the idea of reserving due process for law-abiding people is that due process is how we figure out which people are law-abiding.

Apparently a lot of my ancestry is from the Republic of Ireland! 🇮🇪 Happy St. Patrick’s Day ☘️!!

“Watson” is a GREAT show!! Can’t recommend it enough.

I can't think of a faster way to undermine the country than simultaneously firing government workers, cutting scientific research, rolling back protections on public health & environment, & cutting essential services. It's like the US was defeated in war and is being occupied by a hostile enemy.

So now a bunch of us have to get a measles booster I guess. I hate this timeline.

Obama wanted to give us all healthcare. Biden wanted to forgive student debt and make medication cheaper. And the right lost their minds completely and decided to end our Democracy.

Trump just ordered the DOJ to eliminate the police misconduct database. Imagine losing your child to police brutality &finding out the officer had a violent history that wasn't tracked. That’s what happened to Eric Garners family. The officer who killed him had many complaints before that fatal day.

The Gorge on Apple TV+ is absolutely fantastic. A rom-com/Sci-Fi/Action/Horror movie. Absolutely wild how well it works.

It hasn’t even been one month…

Super proud of my bestie Erica Berger and her entire casting team for receiving a Season 2 pickup of The Pitt! Such a great show. And so proud of my hubs for being on S1!

Nothing quite as disorienting as the first few seconds of accidentally putting on a hoodie backwards.

Just saw a MAGA lady claim the bird flu is a conspiracy and was made up by the news and that “Biden intentionally killed millions of birds” to make the Orange Demon look bad. This is Idiocracy. We are doomed.

He going to try to change New Mexico to New America, isn’t he? 🙄

I hate everything.

Ashamed of my alma mater UNC for eliminating DEI. The diversity I experienced on campus was so vibrant and made my life so much richer, challenged me to be sharper, and just flat out made the campus better.

The policy lead for CDC's H5N1 response has abruptly resigned. Sources tell me CDC's response to the bird flu pandemic has been severely hobbled by the chaos of the past two weeks.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

this thread — YES. more of this, please. it’s what a lot of us have been waiting for.

Kinda like picking a trade war with your allies and then caving when you realize it is massively unpopular but claiming you won after creating a problem in the first place.

If y’all aren’t watching “Paradise” on Hulu and “Doc” on Fox/Hulu you should start. They’re both great.

Am I the only one who sees fear in Bianca Censori’s eyes and body language? I swear to me she looks like she’s thinking, “I’m throwing everything I worked for away right now. I’m disappointing everyone I know.”

RONALD REAGAN (1988): We should be aware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.

I think every pilot, flight attendant, gate agent, air traffic controller, every employee of every airline, public and private, should refuse to go to work until this corrupt administration restores ALL aircraft related government agencies to full staffing and security.

I, for one, will be celebrating Black History Month this entire month. This country was built on the backs of the Black people stolen from Africa on land stolen from the Indigenous people. Columbus didn’t “discover” anything.

In light of all of the awfulness happening, seeing 100% containment on the most destructive fires in our city’s history is a moment of celebration and gratitude to the firefighters.
