This is me begging for my life.
As I prepare to return to being a trans woman working for The Athletic under the control of The New York Times, I'm asking them not to treat me so horribly.

Good people of BlueSky, if you're holiday shopping please consider buying some prints from my shop: mskcollages.etsy.com
I'm a journalist by day and have lost ALL of my contract work in the last 4 months so I'm leaning into my art and my newsletter exportqualitynews.com (if you can sub there too!)

Football lured me in not because of the violence but with NFL Films camera work that showed the ball spiral for 20 seconds (seemingly forever) to stirring music and the marriage of John Facenda's voice and writing that matched it and elevated the moment. That had never existed before. It was cinema.

Sometimes I think I’m being unfair in my critique for Ryan Murphy. then I give a new show of his a chance
And I’m not.
He is not a good writer/director.
He lacks focus. His work is pretentious because he always tries to present it for more than it is and overcompensate with cast to hide script

If you have ever thought that my journalism or my first book were net positives for the world, understand that they probably would not exist if I did not have a spouse who paid the mortgage. If I'd been a solo earner/parent, I likely would have left criticism, journalism or book writing long ago.
And the folks who are actually writing full-time generally only got there after years of day jobs, family support, or both.
The point of sharing this is not to demoralize anyone, but to let emerging writers know they're not failing if they can't make a living off writing alone. Almost no one can.

almost every novelist you read who's not from the airport fiction or bestseller sections is working a full on day job, including multi-award winners and absolute legends, or they have a spouse or trust that supports them. virtually across the board. just normalize in your mind that's how it works.

Why someone pick La Haine as a 90s film that needs ‘more love.’ I feel like there’s no 90s film that gets more love lol. La Haine is NOT “underrated.”
4.5/5 on Letterboxd, 96% / 95% on RT, 8.1/10 on IMDb. That’s appropriately-rated. It’s wrapped in swaddling cloth and kissed on the forehead.😂😂
