I wrote and posted this to Instagram a couple of days ago and it became my most-read poem ever. I’m honored I get to feel big feelings alongside you all. I’m posting it here too and want to use this space more consistently. Hello friends ❀️

I didn't realize you were on Substack, that's where I settled in. It seems like we chatted a few times on pre-X Twitter. I'll have to check you out over there, nice to see you're still active.

Thank-you. I don't care WHO is implicated. I don't care if every one of my childhood heroes and favorite actors are implicated. I want ALL the files released, and I want those who hurt women to be held accountable. Don't let her squirm away from this. πŸ™

On Masks, Acting and Artifice In which I reflect on the question 'How are you?' in a world where no one is 'fine.'

A good friend who graciously gave this one a beta read told me that this is one of my "most honest" pieces I've done on Substack, one where "the wizard behind the curtain" is on full display.

My latest over on Substack, where I write about art and culture in these unsettling and terrifying times. Subscribing is free, I've paywalled nothing, and no password is required. #Art #Culture #Substack

I'm confused. I thought we needed scientists and experts to go to the moon. Or did we send "do your own research" astronauts launched by "both sides" engineers and physicists at Mission Control?

Now Trump's team knows what it felt like to be Biden's team watching the train wreck of the final debate that finally persuaded them it was long past time for Joe to go. πŸ˜’

Just a friendly reminder to check your voter registration regularly.

A lot of us have had our voting records sent to The Regime.

There is no reason to believe this was a benign action.

I just did 2.5 hours in an MRI and I’ve had COVID19 vaccines numbering in the double digits, so I think we can confidently conclude that the vaccines don’t, in fact, magnetize a person.

I really feel like we are at the dawn of an age in which truth, the simple facts of the matter, will be more valuable than ever and also less accessible than ever.

Years before anyone called Leslie Nielsen "Shirley." I can't recall, does the film have a "Gonzalo" character, an old sage? That's who I played in The Tempest about 12 years ago.

As long as ICE is in U.S. airports, I will not be.

COMPLETE AND TOTAL BOYCOTT!

Thank you for your attention to this matter!!

I fell for a Facebook ad scam earlier this month, bargain prices for Taschen art books. Some shady outfit in Hong Kong. Could have been worse, only out fifty bucks. Canceled the card, etc. πŸ™„

Measles is 'worse than expected' in Utah, officials say Measles patients in Utah are developing severe complications, health officials say, including potentially life-threatening anemia and liver inflammation.

"She’s hearing from people sick with the virus:

'A number of them clearly said if they had known, they would have vaccinated themselves and their children against measles, but they didn’t realize how bad it was.'"

What happens when we downplay disease.
