Okay, what’s happening at the Apple Store in Grand Central?
(She tweets as she is running to get her metro north train not stopping to investigate and I swear to god if it’s like when I walked by the cast of Severance without looking up, I’m launching myself to the moon)
I’ll bite:
What is a Timothée Chalamet?
I lost my job, my kids have measles, and gas is six dollars a gallon. But at least now they’re not tearing down a statue of a Confederate general that I’ve never heard of in a city that I’ve never been to.
I have a family member that’s a nurse in the orthopedic wing of a hospital. Can confirm orthopedic surgeons can be dicks
(Also one told said family member that the COVID vaccine wasn’t needed …)
#ThePitt
I was already anti-waterslides
I guess I had a LEG up?
#ThePitt
The audacity of United Health having so many ads rn
Guys, read the room. You’re the problem
#ThePitt
Pitt Day thoughts:
#ThePitt worked hard to create a realistic ER drama with thoughtful characters and situations
meanwhile I’m on my couch like “interesting case but let’s circle back to [insert attractive doctor] for a moment.”
Yes the actors. I would take medical advice from Shawn Hatosy and Noah Wylie before Casey Means
#ThePitt
The thing about #ThePitt is that they all have more medical training than the current surgeon general nominee (Casey Means)
You too!!! Though I feel like we all need good luck with the time change! #hatm
Yes! I would like to see it!
#hatm
Update: the time change is truly winning against toddler bedtime.
I’ll catch you all next week (I’ve missed too much of this movie haha)
#hatm
I looooooove this movie. It’s ridiculous lol #hatm
The time change is winning, but I’ve fast forwarded to catch up and have our monitor watching our toddler (who currently is in bed singing happy birthday), but I’m here!
#hatm
*toddler
I’m joining shortly! Toddle bedtime adventures at the moment…
#hatm
This also fits bc in a bunch of bcast stories I’ve setup while in-house (mainly @ the American Museum of Natural History, sorry guys), if I’m at a taping, I’m somehow in the b roll mean mugging when I’m desperately trying to be out of the way but also overseeing everything?
I took a which character in the Pitt am I quiz and I assumed I’d get Mel (she’s amazing and one of my faves!) or then like something random like one of the rats
But surprise surprise surprise

I’m so sorry your daughter witnessed that!!! Ack!
Also I hope her friend’s injury is healed ♥️
As this show continues , you’re gonna see the development of covert spy ring operated by women. It’s kind of crazy that the story is not more well-known. #HATM #TheGrayHouse
The emphasis on education in the Black community is very real.
The first HBCU was founded in 1837 as the Institute for Colored Youth in Philadelphia (now Cheney University). Founded with a Quaker bequest, the faculty were all Black from the start. #HATM
Never attack a man who carries a sword hidden in his cane.
Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk. 😉

I like the “… [he was] clearly insane.”
Ugh, I might be too if I saw someone (not to mention the POTUS during a tumultuous time) shot in the head right next to me.
#hatm
Next stop: global domination. Or that cookie I bought last night that’s on my counter. Yes. Cookie first. Then domination. #Priorities
Hey everyone, it was a big night tonight. For the first time ever, a Hollywood production company asked us to help promote a series. And y’all came out and did it. I’ve said this for 7 1/2 years but Historians At The Movies belong to all of us. This was a real win for #HATM.
See you tomorrow.
When I moved to NYC, I went from only having met a few southerners in my life to so many just through the PR agency I worked at
I felt on EDGE sometimes. I’m pretty sarcastic, but also very direct when I am being less than kind
I did sometimes feel like Dorothy (2nd GG reference for this?) #hatm
Oh yeah, being born into a slave society somehow justified the actions of the master class. Well, it's awful to us today but it was common back then. Only abolitionists opposed it. Even northern Republicans felt that way - for a while anyway. #hatm
