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 was so delightful seeing Wallace Shawn in the lobby collecting accolades after this magnificent production.

The upcoming @filmsradiance.bsky.social 4K UHD release of CUTTER'S WAY--arguably the greatest/bleakestneo-noir ever made--features contributions from such killer hitters as @jordanharper.bsky.social, @meganabbott.bsky.social, @christinalefou.bsky.social, and more (including an essay by me).

GET IT.
