My favorite book as a child
I used to readLove You Foreverevery single night with my mom.
I remember begging her to read it to me before bedtime.
I can’t believe she didn’t shut it down, man!

[Spoiler warning!]
NO THANKS, BYE!
Sorry for the spoilers.
Like, everyone was telling me how amazing the love story was.
So I’m done!!!
The first album I bought
Oh wow!
I’m really having to do a deep dive into my brain to remember this one.
Favorite tracks: “Lifestyle of the Rich and Famous” and “The Anthem.”
The last concert I attended
I went to see King Princess in L.A. at the Wiltern.
I was the oldest one there, and this was RIGHT before the world collapsed.
It’s a perfect comedy.Christine Baranski?Molly Shannon?Jim Carrey?
It’s also my mom’s favorite movie.
The joke was on us because the Whos were actually singing in gibberish.
and the music video that accompanied it.
She was a Christmas angel.
Her song playing at grocery stores is what I look forward to most during the holidays.
I was deeply affected by anything Faith Hill touched.
And I wanted to be with her so desperately that I could vomit.
And they just pretty much riff on what it was like filming a lesbian scene.
It’s 15 MINUTES, fully improvised, and I would have watched it for an hour.
It’s totally their bit, but I was honored to have them tell me how lesbian sex works.
They all taught me different things.
Tina Fey’s was a masterclass in good-ass memoir writing.
Isaac Oliver taught me how to write about sex in a vulnerable and funny way.
Jessi taught me to speak to not fitting into what society deems “normal” for women.
Issa Rae taught me about being awkward and accepting it.
Marc taught me how to discuss anxiety and my OCD.
I love that the show centers on a lesbian who just gets to exist.
She’s complicated and fs up, but it has nothing to do with her being a lesbian.
There’s no coming-out scene because there doesn’t need to be one.Camille Cottinis a dreamboat.
I want this show to go on and on forever.
The writer I wish more people knew about
Ugh!
But I have been a fan ofEmerald Fennell’s since she took over season 2 ofKilling Eve.
Sue Perkins has a great memoir calledSpectacles.
AndPhoebe Waller-Bridge(have you heard of her?)
had a show on Netflix [from 2016] calledCrashing.
It somehow only got one season.
The tv show or movie I think everyone should watch
Call My Agent!Go.
I know you have Netflix.
Also, c’mon let me write for the show!
I don’t know French, but I will learn!
