Gym pic of me sitting at the preacher curl bench with a cockeyed smile like I'm posing for my moment in the opening credits of a sitcom. The image is unusually crisp and clear thanks to the mirror having been professionally cleaned 30 seconds earlier.

30 seconds before this picture was taken, the maintenance guy cleaned the mirror, so I hopped over to get a rare gym pic without human substance splatter in it.

I've been mentally foggy for a good couple weeks now. Maybe this is a sign of it clearing up.

Finally met my friend's dog in person at their board game party, and she liked me best out of everyone there. 🤗

It was going on one, two in the morning, and we were shooting what I felt was an important scene for me, when he makes an attempt to be quote-unquote straight, in a suit, and at the end of it he gets emotional and locks himself in the other room. And I felt like, I’m not getting what I want—I’m not happy with it. Mike was happy with it. He called me the next day and said, “I know you weren’t happy with the scene last night. Believe me, we wouldn’t have gone home if I had felt we weren’t getting it.” And then he sort of became my psychiatrist and said, “You find it difficult to be happy, don’t you? You find it difficult to enjoy things.” And I said, “Well, sometimes. Last night was about feeling too tired and not feeling I was reaching what I needed to reach for the scene.” He talked to me then about when he was making, I don’t know whether it was Virginia Woolf or The Graduate. He said, “I didn’t enjoy it for a second. I was worried about so many things.” And then he said, “You know, this is never going to happen again quite this way. You should try to allow yourself to enjoy this more. Take a minute a day, and then add a minute the next day, and another minute. Pretty soon, you’ll have hours of happiness.”

The Birdcage opened thirty years ago today, so in its honor, I want to share one of my favorite stories about Mike Nichols that didn't make it into my biography. This is from an interview I did with Nathan Lane.

I didn't feel anything, but there's been dog howling in my neighborhood for the past half hour.

Alan Cumming, Bowen Yang Help Launch Necessary Foundation to Support LGBTQ Filmmakers "There is, in this moment, enormous political pressure to delete queer people from American media, and that includes young filmmakers who are being shut out of the industry,” said executive director A...

This is precisely the reason why our somewhat mutual friend Adam (Hot White Heist) started this LGBTQ+ foundation this week, because of dumb shit like this.

He's an evangelical Christian, and quietly has been this whole time. It's just not good enough anymore to be one of the "nice ones." You either speak up for what's right, or you end up quietly accepting a lot of harmful ideology and eventually agreeing with it, if you didn't already.

Found a dollar in the pocket of one of the pants I was browsing through at the thrift store. My worries are over.

He's a macho piece of shit in a twink's body.

Jessica deserves better.

I like DS9's "Move Along Home."

Dangit, they added audio description to "Murder, She Wrote" on Prime but it's voiced by A.I. The cadence is stilted, and the way it reads the title of the show itself is a travesty.

Sometimes it feels like I'm a bystander in a Marvel movie watching people with too much power blast the city apart in a fight they could be having elsewhere.

I love my The Pitt/Starfleet Academy Thursday nights, but it always leaves me with big feelings I don't know what to do with until I fall asleep staring at the ceiling.

I've grown more and more fond of it over the years. I think it has the best killer reveal.

How big are you?

Tonight's SNL should come back from commercial break to Connor and Hudson fucking vigorously in the corner of the set before they turn and notice in surprise and the show cuts to a test pattern.

All life is a cartoon, anyway.

When I first saw this at the movies and he collapses at the end of this song, a little girl piped up in the dead quiet theater to say, "Mom, is he dead?"

Midwesterner Fail: I forgot until yesterday that I had a housewarming this afternoon, so I had no time to get a housewarming gift. I'm going to have to bake something later.

Quick, set the Warner siblings free before they change the logo on that thing.

Well hey 💜
