Umm. I can’t believe my favorite and the most honest story I’ve ever written gets to be on this podcast. And I maybe started to tear up listening to the introduction. 🥹

Well, here we are in Spain. I feel like I am just getting started, and I wish I had more new episodes yet to come, but we have come to the final episode of what's turning out to be one of the most wonderful things I've ever done.

I’m not in the desert anymore, so that’s a lie, but the rest of the video is totally true.

I have a novella coming out in February called Krackle’s Last Movie, which is being published by Split/Lip Press! @splitlippress.com

Missed this. There is only one compliment left to give her work - she’s 87. She has maybe the greatest formal mastery in modern theatre, but she retains the playful daring of an 18 year old. It’s what every single one of us wants. And Christ what a lovely person.

Not a novel but long short story in which I ripped off The X Files, Sphere AND Event Horizon all in one swoop because I was obsessed with them at the time. It won me my first writing award in middle school 😂

Anyone who says there is no point to protesting in big and small ways is not paying attention or is performative in bad faith. This shit works. It's not perfect and there's still going to be plenty of collateral damage but it works and every victory weakens them on the road to the midterms.
