This is the best Pride moment I'll ever have. A little gay boy (when you know you know), maybe 7, ran up to me today and said, "What's your style?!"
"What's...my style?"
"Yes! What STYLE do you have?"
"I'm too old to have a style!"
He beamed at me. "I change MY style EVERY DAY."
And he skipped away.

If you have ever emailed a writer to let them know you enjoyed something they wrote, you are among the noblest and best and most saintly in this entire world, and I hope you sleep really well tonight.
P.S. Why do we lease a car, you ask? Well, that's a long story, but the short version is, why does your MOTHER lease a car?
A dozen phone calls later, one of which was an extended horror-movie loop during which a bot tried to sell us MedicAlert necklaces and we could not leave, we finally got through to an antiquated device known as a "human." "Oh," she said. "Don't worry. The AI often reads reflections as scratches." x
Here's an AI horror story from our household today: We lease a car. It had a little tech problem. We took it in today and an hour later, we got a message saying, you know you're gonna have to pay [redacted absurd sum of $$] for those two big scratches. Us: What scratches? There are no scratches! >
I agree with all of that, but I still found the archives to be incredibly valuable when I was working on the Mike Nichols book. I would have killed to see even the worst possible taping of his original production of Streamers (which sadly, was never shot).
No, I think it's very appropriate to judge the people.
Not private, I believe, but for students, scholars, and professionals. That could be dealt with.
This would be a fantastic innovation with national impact on theater, and all it would take to make it happen is some institutional will and planning, and probably one deep-pocketed donor who loves the art form. playbill.com/article/alde...
Please stop eavesdropping on my holiday meals.
Anyway, I'm putting this one right next to "Who's a real man?" "Who's a real Jew?" and "Who's authentically queer?" in a big file of discussions I never need to have again.
This whole "Who's a real New Yorker?" discussion is hilarious to me. I was born in NYC and have lived here all my life, so I'm definitely a real one. But I have always felt that the people who CHOOSE it are...maybe just a hair more real.
Today in "Absolutely not."
If you have any chance to see Joshua Henry in Ragtime, you will never be sorry.
Ali Louis Bourzgui, for anyone who sees this post out of context. A hell of a speech. Bravo.
Well, I love this kid.
I mean, I actually AM saying it, but for that, you have to subscribe to Premium Mark, which unfortunately involves being married to me.
Sitting here very very much not saying what I think of some of this.
Tonys update: Pink is doing her part to make David Ellison's day worse and I am all for it.
Followup: As I guessed it would, Masters of the Universe flopped, grossing just $29 million in the US. From the @thr.com story: "The biggest age demographic for the weekend was 45- to 54-year-olds." This kind of nostalgia is a niche business that Gen X male execs still think is a mass business.
