On March 17, I got a call from my agents telling me they were firing me. I was incredibly sick (with what at the time we thought was bronchitis but maybe is actually RSV…who knows) and could already barely breathe. I had figured this moment was coming. I hadn’t written anything to show them for […]
Festivus is one of my favorite holidays. And yes I know Seinfeld is hella problematic but the reason I love it is personal: Seinfeld (and The Twilight Zone) was my dad’s favorite show growing up and a lot of the time we spent together, we spent it watching Seinfeld (and then later Curb Your Enthusiasm). […]
It’s too soon (to me) to write a “here’s how 2025 was” post but here’s a sneak peak: It’s fucking sucked. I don’t even remember what horrible thing I learned that Meta was up to back in February but I left Facebook and insta and Threads. And then I was more isolated than ever. I […]
Is anyone surviving right now? Anybody doing okay? I feel a bit like I’m somehow both drowning and completely outside of my body. I thought about writing about politics, the state of things, or even what’s left of my playwriting career but there’s not much to say there so instead I want to talk about […]
I think I might be having a mid-life crisis. Which in itself is kind of funny because my entire adulthood has been a crisis. I think that’s true for most millennials. We were in college (some of us) when the market crashed and all of a sudden all the safe jobs weren’t safe anymore. Even […]
This one’s going to be a bummer. I want to write about grief. My blog post is late this month (again) because I was in LA for a little over a week, wondering if my dad was going to die. Sorry to jump right into it but that’s just how this post is going to […]
I’ve been thinking a lot about how many of my plays have poems in them. A lot of those plays haven’t been produced so I want to slowly start to pull them out of the plays and share them a different way. Both of these are in a play of mine called Baby, Bye. Us, […]
Originally I was going to write a blog post about this: In my newsletter, I mentioned that I no longer feel safe in the US because while I’m not trans, I am trans-adjacent and shit is looking real bad. I thought that was a pretty basic thought but I had two different cis people tell […]
Woof. Did February steamroll over anyone else? This month felt a bit like an avalanche. Between everything happening on the federal level which continues to look more and more like technocracy (I learned the meaning of that word this month. I hate that I learned the meaning of that word this month), my job has […]
I think about this quote every day: “This is what happens when you have an artist temperament but you are not an artist.” It’s from Mad Men. And it’s a moment that’s been burned in my brain since I saw it years ago. What’s it mean to be an artist who isn’t successful? You’re still […]
