The reason you have to be aware of whether your shows are inclusive is not because women otherwise aren't good enough. It's because you, as a curator, have antennae that are naturally more likely to hear some voices than others. That's true, in my opinion, of basically everyone.

Tomorrow, I go back to work after a four-week break to address a burnout … crisis, I would say. I don’t want to talk about what it meant to me too much, because I know it’s a tremendous privilege to be able to do that.

I’m not trying to stir up any wild controversy with my hot takes, but some of the hype that goes to cinnamon and ginger in the winter should go to cardamom.

I'm not linking to it, but if you're posting news stories that literally do nothing but try to shame actors you remember for working regular jobs, you are bad at news and also at humanity. Ridiculing people for working, of all things.

I hate this depersonalization of the ways that people become famous, get opportunities to remain famous, and get opportunities to recover from stumbles. Those are all choices. It's not an algorithm.

I think sometimes about the size of a library full of the books that weren't written, the movies and shows that weren't made, the music that was never played because of the way marginalized and vulnerable creative people were treated.

Also, we are in no danger of running out of powerful, influential dudes. The culture lost more the day Roger Ebert died than it has in this entire weaselflood.

I think Fran Drescher, among other things, is exhausted in the particular way I have only ever seen people involved in union negotiations be exhausted.

For crying out loud, leave people alone. I don't know what's driving this extremely weird "you're being too cautious!" lecture circuit, but if people want to ease themselves into things slowly, leave them alone.

It's very difficult to know what constitutes rational behavior during a pandemic like COVID-19 so there's a a limit to how much you might judge anybody's choices. But I'd argue one sign of *irrationality* is if a person doesn't change their behavior much after being vaccinated.

A thing I've learned in adulthood: rest is not what you do when you're not doing the things on your list. Rest should be on your list. And if it isn't, and you find that it demands to be done, it's just as important as any task.
