I get there are legitimate reasons to criticise TS, but when a teen girl succeeds, claws her way out of male corporate ownership, speaks against a fascist regime despite advice otherwise, and men don’t get backlash for their similar success you have to wonder if misogyny and bot farms are in play.

Starting my studies today. Very excited but also I’m going to be exhausted for the next 9 months.
This also means I’ll be in London a lot more. London friends: let me know if you want to meet up a some point!

Yes, literally: It's time for generational change. The leaders that got us into this mess won't be the ones to get us out of it -- all of them have to either step back or get primaried & have to defend why they're the best person to lead us forward. www.axios.com/2025/09/05/h...

I had the absolute pleasure last Sunday of doing a little acting on a horror short.
It was tremendous fun and I’m thrilled to have had the opportunity.
