“If we were to take up these parts, Strafer seems to ask, what would still shock us, and what would cease to?”

My first column for @FilmmakerMag, on Jordan Strafer's TALK SHOW at the @whitneymuseum Biennial.

Many thanks to @celizotte & @nataliakeogan!

Not to perpetuate the I Went on a Cruise Ship thing but I did briefly sail to the Bahamas with a bunch of celebrity impersonators https://t.co/VOLEJswTic

Come for my cameo as a pilgrim with terrible German accent; stay for a profound exegesis of the first book in English published by a woman, who was at the time legally dead and living in the walls of a church.

@JohnDeMarsico 💔 It’s been such a blessing to see this team through your eyes, John. Your broadcasts have often been the most compelling reason to watch. Someone at SNY evidently didn’t know that they had, but I can only hope that another fanbase is about to find out what they’ve been missing.
