There are a handful of filmmakers who have been vocally supportive of our book, "Corpses, Fools and Monsters: The History and Future of Transness in Cinema", and Sean Baker is one of them.

Belle Gibson, Ruby Franke, and Amanda Riley will all have their lies, scams, and abusive actions dissected in television series and documentaries over the next several years, and I fear we won’t meaningfully address how whiteness works in this, and why they were able to get away with it for so long.

Here is the panel that Josh and I had about the music of Twin Peaks. Don't miss the ending where I get heckled. It was my favorite part of the entire weekend. #davidlynch #twinpeaks twinpeaksblog.com/2025/03/01/r...

misinformation on this topic kills children. journalists always have a responsibility to Don't Print Lies In The Newspaper but it's especially true for childhood vaccinations.

Like most people I was perplexed by Megalopolis but Coppola's response to being singled out for scorn by the atrocious Razzies is better than the movie.

i just finished Twin Peaks: The Return. i think it might be the greatest thing David Lynch ever directed. the culmination of all his past works. it made me cry harder than any other piece of art ever has. in fact, i cried harder than i have in a long time

I was privileged to know Gene Hackman because he played tennis with another Gene—Gene Wilder. And that Gene told him about a little role called The Blind Hermit in our movie YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN…

I’m incredibly proud seeing Marya’s journey writing her book, an incredible, well-researched resource featuring interview with 19 women directors. I’m also infinitely happier seeing her enjoy the fruits of her hard work. BUY HER BOOK!!!

The WHCA responds: "This move tears at the independence of a free press in the United States. It suggests the government will choose the journalists who cover the president. In a free country, leaders must not be able to choose their own press corps."

@courtenaycal.bsky.social joins me this week to discuss Laura Palmer. We discuss the significance of her Golden Orb in Part 8, how Hindu Mythology informs of her role throughout all of Twin Peaks and the struggles she endures from both a cosmic and ground level perspective. The link is in my bio.

"[W]e are reprinting an editorial from the Clarksdale Press Register in Mississippi, which a Chancery Judge, Crystal Wise Martin, ordered removed.... We view this judicial overreach as an abuse of power, a blatant violation of constitutional rights, and a dangerous precedent that must be resisted."

Five things I did this week: 1. Slipped out the back, Jack 2. Made a new plan, Stan 3. Didn't need to be coy, Roy, just got myself free 4. Hopped on the bus, Gus - didn't need to discuss much 5. Just dropped off the key, Lee, and, to reiterate, got myself free

This #TwinPeaks Day, you’ll see an episode from me that doesn’t have me in the discussion at all. I intentionally wanted to make a space where women could talk on their own about David Lynch, Laura Palmer, the film, whatever they wanted, in a safe space removed from the suburban male POV of mine 1/2
