Recapping the new season of “The Bear” for The A.V. Club! After a sleepy season three, the first episode gives the gang a much-needed kick in the pants.

Can’t stop thinking about the absurdist perfection of this ad the New York Times algorithm served me

For last article for Backstage, I got to talk to “Interview With the Vampire” stars Jacob Anderson and Sam Reid about Louis and Lestat’s messy, sexy love story and their wild journey in season two. Two of my fave actors working right now.

My A.V. Club review of BritBox’s “Outrageous,” the insane true story of the Mitford sisters in the 1930s. I haven’t been able to get this show off my mind: a terrifying cautionary tale about fascist radicalization that gets under your skin precisely because of how fun and dishy it otherwise is

Sooo I just got surprise laid off from my job of four years. If anyone knows of full-time or freelance gigs for an experienced writer/editor/copy editor, please hit me up. I also am open to jobs in the arts/nonprofit sectors.

Just occurred to me that with Jean Smart in “Call Me Izzy” and Nick Jonas in “The Last Five Years,” there are two type 1 diabetics starring in Broadway shows right now. This must be the first time in history that’s true, and it’s pretty dang cool.

Does anyone know of an audio-to-text transcription website or app that's relatively affordable and doesn't use generative AI? I'm having a hell of a time trying to find one.

You know what other spacecraft’s heat shields failed due to outside pressure to rush the launch? Sputnik 2, the second spacecraft ever launched into orbit, in 1957. I guess at least this fucking thing didn’t have a dog onboard. #rememberlaika

Not news, but having any kind of chronic illness in America, medical or mental, sucks so much. I just found out my company is switching insurance providers and found out I’ll no longer be able to see my longtime therapist. And fuck only knows for my diabetes supplies.

My A.V. Club review of Benito Skinner's new queer college sitcom "Overcompensating," which if you can get past the fact that every "college freshman" is clearly in their mid-thirties, is so fun and also very sweet

Showed up to jury duty this morning and realized that a trial by jury in the United States is a right that is already being taken away.

Coasting down the slope from Prospect Park to Gowanus on my new (used) bike under the full moon, standing on the pedals and listening to Ravel’s “Un Barque sur L’Ocean” as the wind whips through my hair — I guess the good stuff’s still out there underneath all the bad stuff 🌸🌕🌬️🚴‍♂️

John Cameron Mitchell on a topic near and dear to my heart, through the lens of his film “Shortbus,” a movie near and dear to my heart.

The latest ep of "The Last of Us" was so sweet and epic and harrowing, and it healed my bi-romantic + demisexual heart 🏳️‍🌈

Binged all the press screeners for “Overcompensating” in one afternoon. It’s like “The Sex Lives of College Girls” only much funnier and way gayer. Y’all are gonna have a blast.

My A.V. Club tribute to "Shatter Belt," James Ward Byrkit's singular indie sci-fi series that you probably missed but can buy for cheap on Prime Video and Apple TV+. Think "Black Mirror" meets "Upstream Color" on a microbudget.

Female cinematographers are far and few between. Per the annual industry report the Cellulod Ceiling, female DPs shot just 12 percent of the 250 top-grossing movies in 2024. So, when a high-profile male director hires women it’s a big deal; when he keeps hiring women it’s a big fucking deal.

I can’t tell if me turning every medical appointment into a standup routine about how fucked up my body/brain chemicals are is a way to break up the doctor’s day or a compulsive desire to make myself “likable”
