Jamie Lee!!!!!

Hot Dog fingers!!

No big deal: just Sean Hayes delivering a gut-wrenching, tour de force performance as deeply troubled, ferociously witty pianist Oscar Levant — and playing Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blue” gorgeously and brilliantly. Good Night, Oscar: bravo and wow! 🎭🎶📺 #GoodNightOscar

Clear your summer schedules... it’s gonna be a big one!

I was nervous to rewatch Ghostlight because I was so moved the first time, I didn't want that experience to change. I thought maybe I was just feeling extra emotional on the first viewing. NOPE. I was a weeping mess once again. Such a sincerely emotional little gem-of-a-movie 💕

I’m proud to now serve as Vice President of the Ann Arbor District Library Board of Trustees! As the youngest person to hold this role, I remain committed to advancing a fresh agenda. Together, we can create a new public space, expand our services, and help solve the housing crisis!

Spent the past few days catching up on #ThePitt and feel confident saying that TV is officially back. A raw, complex medical drama with layered character dynamics and the most absorbing camerawork & editing that makes each episode feel ten minutes long. Give me 20 more seasons.
