Sobering and upsetting news coming on the heels of Adam Hughes's cancer diagnosis. Even the most beloved and successful comics artist or writer is still a freelancer--no paid time off, no employer-sponsored health insurance. Please chuck a few dollars into Any's fundraiser if you can.

Always listen to @davidharper.bsky.social! We had so much fun making SPIDEY, it really is designed for the whole family, and it's still out there in the wild, sometimes under the title, Spider-Man: Freshman Year. Hope you give it a shot!

If you’re in the market for some good Brand New Day reading material for readers of all-ages, may I recommend Spidey by @robbiethompson.bsky.social, Nick Bradshaw, @andrelimaaraujo.com, and Nate Stockman? Very fun comic that anyone can just jump into.

This is the first time I've had to physically look away from the screen while watching #StarTrek - and @robbiethompson.bsky.social took that as the compliment that it is!

S4E2 is now streaming! “The Griffin Incident” was written by @robbiethompson.bsky.social and directed by Axelle Carolyn. They made a tale of sci fi horror that takes La’An, Spock, and Kirk onto a ghost starship that will leave neither of them, or the audience, the same afterward. Beware! And watch!

James Burrows was not a giant in sitcom directing. He was THE giant. The primary director of Cheers and Taxi. The only director (I believe) of Will & Grace. The director whose pilots for Friends, Third Rock, Frasier, and Big Bang Theory got them on the air. The king. RIP. people.com/james-burrow...

The Birdcage opened thirty years ago today, so in its honor, I want to share one of my favorite stories about Mike Nichols that didn't make it into my biography. This is from an interview I did with Nathan Lane.

It was going on one, two in the morning, and we were shooting what I felt was an important scene for me, when he makes an attempt to be quote-unquote straight, in a suit, and at the end of it he gets emotional and locks himself in the other room. And I felt like, I’m not getting what I want—I’m not happy with it. Mike was happy with it. He called me the next day and said, “I know you weren’t happy with the scene last night. Believe me, we wouldn’t have gone home if I had felt we weren’t getting it.” And then he sort of became my psychiatrist and said, “You find it difficult to be happy, don’t you? You find it difficult to enjoy things.” And I said, “Well, sometimes. Last night was about feeling too tired and not feeling I was reaching what I needed to reach for the scene.” He talked to me then about when he was making, I don’t know whether it was Virginia Woolf or The Graduate. He said, “I didn’t enjoy it for a second. I was worried about so many things.” And then he said, “You know, this is never going to happen again quite this way. You should try to allow yourself to enjoy this more. Take a minute a day, and then add a minute the next day, and another minute. Pretty soon, you’ll have hours of happiness.”

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!

Greetings, new friends! You may know me as an author, a prolific Bluesky poster and 4th place finisher on So You Call That Dancing? But you might not know that my partner Judith (@mzpress) and I have an online arts bookstore that's growing every day. Full inventory here: mzs.press/EVERYTHING-W...

The covers of three books. Left to right: Gandolfini: Jim, Tony, and the life of a legend, about the late Sopranos actor. The cover shows Gandolfini looking shy, peering offscreen with one unobstructed eye and another that peeks out between the fingers of his right hand. CENTER: The cover of Cinema Her Way, a coffee table book by Marya E. Gates about female directors. On the cover is actress Michelle Rodriguez as the boxer heroine of Karyn Kusama's sports drama Girlfight, about a woman boxer.

In the background of the field is green grass. in the upper foreground are the branches of a tree sprouting white, cottony buds.
