Making TERFs mad by outselling them is the only reason I’ll encourage using Amazon to buy our book.

The quick pivot the 2020 primary had in directly dealing with a global crisis definitely allowed the party to brush past these questions but the establishment had to know this would come up when he’s 4 years older.

Caden Mark Gardner and I wrote about many of the trans filmmakers working right now and the potential birth of a "New Trans Cinema." Consider this a primer for our book Corpses, Fools and Monsters.

Yesterday was amazing. Thanks for the outpouring of support. Still not over Jane Schoenbrun sharing that they bought the book at a mall.

I’ve been a partisan towards NWR’s Too Old to Die Young. I doubt it gets the Criterion treatment but I’m hoping it gets a physical release for the same reasons.

We’ve lost a giant. Please read Jane McAlevey’s work. It’s about far more than labor, it is about the human and systemic nature of all political change.

Weiner has always been open with the reference whether it’s the fact he consciously put the Drapers in Ossining or researched Cheever’s published journals & diaries to get a better sense of the time period, reaction to changing times.

My lame ass in Orange County watching Lingua Franca on Criterion Channel after my copy of Corpses, Fools, and Monsters arrives. If you’re in NYC you can be much cooler and do it for real!

Listen, it’s hotter than Hades in New York City this time of year. Spending several hours watching movies in a building with a strong AC, hear talks from me and one of the best filmmakers working, and I’ll be signing books.

This is inspired by several people at a themed park thinking how sweet it was to see a bear go to town at a concessions stand but tell virtually no employees on the ground it was happening and employee barely escaped being mauled because she didn’t know a bear was at the concessions!

“Jane McAlevey’s biggest impact on newsroom unions was through her advocacy for open bargaining… Most unions aren’t this transparent in negotiations. But it’s mostly a no-brainer for skeptical journalists who expect accountability in all things, including from their own coworkers.”
