18 years clean and sober. Best decision of my life. My husband, my kid, my multiple careers all exist because I stopped drinking and doing drugs .

Much like watching Handmaid’s Tale during the first Trump term, I’m watching The Gilded Age like it’s the evening news.

I don’t know how they did it, but this soap smells EXACTLY like the late character actor, Vincent Gardenia

I wrote a play about the corrosive effects of the closet and how that shows up in conservative lawmakers. It’s called Model Congressman, and tonight it’s getting a reading at Capital Stage in Sacramento. It’s nice to celebrate this small victory in the midst of the world being on fire. #playwright

Also: happy birthday! (Saw @wychstreet.bsky.social post it) May this coming year bring joy, success, and the kind of laughter that leaves you lighter afterwards.

The greatest example of The Streisand Effect is Toad not wanting anyone to see him in his bathing suit. I will not be taking any questions

At least, it would allow people to keep seeing A League of Their Own

Listen... im not saying it would be great television but how about a Widows and Widowers in Paradise rather than Bachelors?

We all just want and likely deserve a free vacation.

Queer people will always exist and add to society, no matter what Samuel Alito says.

Young people are more tolerant than their parents when they’re left alone to grow and make their own decisions. That’s because it’s hard to hate trans people or gay people when there are so many in your class and they seem like ok people. So the bigoted adults have to keep kids in line.

I was literally bumped into Frances McDormand. Then, we apologized to each other. And then she complimented “my look.” On I went with my day

My child is in bed, with the door closed, singing at the top of his lungs, “We don’t talk about Bruno! No! No! No!”
