Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.

Same same but different thought: it’s wild to look at how audience ecosystems have changed as early and high school educational systems have been gutted.

I think I've found a way to articulate what bothers me about the trajectory of the modern tech industry (and to some extent... society). We are on this Earth to provide for each other. That's the "mission" of humanity as I see it. This is incompatible with what the tech industry seeks to do.

i am going to put a finer point on this: executive orders are not laws. and they certainly are not royal decrees. they are interpretations of existing law for the purposes of enforcement. the fact that so many people are treating them as laws is actually driving me a bit insane.

Hosted friends for a card writing party to send valentines to incarcerated LGBTQIA+ people through Black & Pink yesterday. Such a bright spot of community after a tough week and a great reminder to get a B&P penpal. You can do that or learn about their other wonderful work here: www.blackandpink.org

One thing I've thought about a lot over the past few days is we were told that Musk's effort involved myriad high-profile Silicon Valley names willing to forego salary in order to help revamp government and what we got was child soldiers.

Fun arts admin fact: sometimes when we say “let me ask legal and get back to you”, what we mean is “let me furiously Google and/or text the group chats to see if anyone has an answer because the idea of using another billable hour this week makes me physically ill.”

Inspiring to see hundreds turn out to protest NYU cutting off care to young trans people. Coming together to hold institutions accountable when they preemptively comply with fascist initiatives is a pretty good way to fight the overwhelm.

I'm glad that America is doing real classic end of empire stuff. A king who is visibly losing his mind declaring a war based on a dream he had. Greedy courtiers feuding over access to the treasury. Some looks are timeless.

“Come From Away” is at best a mid-tier musical outside of its context, but in 2017 to unashamedly revel in a patriotism that was about connection, community, and relationships was revelatory. . . . (and also Jenn Colella could sing a song of direct insults at me and I’d applaud)

Trudeau's words hit me hard tonight. I was in Toronto (with many other American film journalists) on 9/11. I doubt those of us who were there will ever forget the kindness and fellowship we were shown by everyone we encountered. It's horrific that when Canadians look at America, they now see Trump.

Elon Musk keeps talking about saving taxpayers a few billion and government efficiency but the simplest and most efficient way for the government to recoup hundreds of billions all at once is to just take it from Elon Musk.

for @slate.bsky.social, I spoke with people impacted by Trump's ban on trans, nonbinary, intersex & gender-nonconforming Americans from obtaining passports that properly match their identities. “People like me are being defined out of existence."
