I would love it if things would stop being quite so hard. Just for a little bit.

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

It has always been true that only a fraction of the readership reads long pieces. Or reads past the jump, as they used to say in the newspaper biz.

The ones who read it all are called "readers." And they are more likely to subscribe to the publication and/or become lifelong fans of the writer.

The people demand answers!

Bless THE PITT for adding mullet lesbians to the cast. I’m currently searching for a nice lady who enjoys answering questions like, “Hey babe, why is the ceiling fan making that noise?” so I appreciate it.

Maybe I’ll make it 👀

Sold! 💜🫡

I keep going to bed earlier and earlier to escape the micro and macro horrors. Surely I will eventually lap myself in the space-time continuum and create a second Jessica who will either help me navigate life or enable a much-needed bloody catharsis by engaging in a battle to the death with me.

I haven’t worked out consistently in about a decade, but my new trainer just told me I should be in one of her videos because my form is perfect. 💅

Doing mundane shit like going to the dentist and renewing my car tags during The Crusades 2: This Time with Nukes! makes me feel like I’m losing my mind.

I really, really, really need Delroy Lindo to win an Oscar this year.

A reminder that Harrison Ford is doing some of the best work of his career on Shrinking.

I always forget about Mia Goth’s Gashlycrumb Tinies voice

Jayme Lawson from Sinners hit the nail on the head and said how I felt with the whole BAFTAs situation.

Me, finally starting to get it after 42 years: I have to stay alive so I can write books, make art, give cats a home, learn as much as I can, and put as much love as possible out into the world

Make a zine about your feelings and things you think people can do and join you to do to help. Make an emotional zine. Make a zine about questions you want to ask people to think on during these times. Make a poetry zine about the realities we live through but hardly take the time to feel through.

Make something TANGIBLE and HAND IT TO SOMEONE and talk to them. Leave little pieces of joy in your area. Engage with little free libraries, the real library, and your local zinesters and self-publishing small press groups. Talk to your organizing groups. Go to a resource fair. Sign-up. Love people.

Join us in March as we pay tribute to beloved character actor Bud Cort, who built a career out of making the unusual so unforgettable 🌼

Delroy Lindo on ‘Sinners,’ Speaking Up and the Power of Affirmation

"When I was just starting out, I hadn’t done anything, my résumé was blank. And a casting person said, what do you want for your career in five, 10 years? And I said well, I want to be respected for my work...But that’s what I’ve got. Being respected for my work."

I do this as a matter of course anyway, but I’m blocking extra hard if I see anyone referring to the United States murdering Iranian schoolgirls as a “distraction.”

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

they had four years to bury this guy under the jail

I already have my next few tattoos planned, but damn if I don’t need this soon.
