Sarah McBride rarely centers her identity as a trans woman. Republicans do that for her. So when she steps to the microphone and talks about "21 years of unwavering homesickness," it means something. @mcbride.house.gov www.readtpa.com/p/watch-rep-...

talked to Kevin Smith about Dogma, why he relates to Star Wars (the franchise) and Bing Bong (the character), the new Pope, and putting Dogma 2 on the back burner for his new project:
"Nostalgia Is a Powerful F**king Drug": Kevin Smith Is Just Trying To Stay Relevant
We spoke with the 'Dogma' director about the new 4K Blu-ray, losing (and regaining) fans, and the new script that forced him to put 'Dogma 2' aside.

Oh, this hurts. Tammie was personally responsible for getting me to the Tribeca Film Festival, my first fest, and opening doors for me at Sundance as well. I knew her as a patient but enthusiastic booster of women in cinema, in criticism, and across the film industry. An absolute light in the field.
