Ahead of the Emmy Awards next week, here are the acclaimed @hacks creators Lucia Aniello, Jen Statsky, and Paul W. Downs on the show’s nods to “Carol.” “The reason we couldn’t have Cate Blanchett on the show is because we referenced Carol, and that would be so strange,” Downs jokes. #hacks #emmys #carolmovie

Thank you, @sasha_compere (Uncorked, Single Drunk Female), for speaking with me about the stunning new film, @dreamsinnightmares, @holdingspacewithtracy LIVE. I loved this conversation about a film for our times. Writer/director @ShataraMichelle Ford’s sophomore feature re-imagines the road trip for three Black queer friends navigating modern-day America. The Gilded Age’s @deneebenton plays Z, who, after a layoff, joins friends Lauren (Dezi Bing) and Tasha (Single Drunk Female star Sasha Compère) on an odyssey to find their friend Kel (@mars_the_mantis), who’s off the grid. Mysticism and joy are interspersed with the stark reality of traveling while Black and queer in America. Queer actors Jasmin Savoy Brown, Charlie Barnett, and Molly Bernard also star. DREAMS IN NIGHTMARES is in theaters now. #Dreamsinnightmares #film #LGBTQ #podcast #interview

The fabulous @plasmanyc turned the tables on me a bit to comment on how I leaned into “holding space.” We met at a rooftop party in NY during Pride Month last year, and Plasma’s warmth was palpable. 🩷🩷 Get the full episode wherever you like your podcasts. @holdingspacewithtracy

Please join Dreams in Nightmares Star @sasha_compere and me for @holdingspacewithtracy IG LIVE Friday at 10 am PT/1pm PT. Shatara Michelle Ford’s film centering Black queer friends on cross-country odyssey to find a friend they haven’t heard from is a stunning portrayal of identity and friendship while navigating the very real obstacles for so many in this country. I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to speak with Sasha, who costarred in one of my favorite unsung series, Single Drunk Female. #iglive #podcast #interview

Spoiler alert! @plasmanyc cast me as a Daryl Zanuck figure in this spectacular video honoring Marilyn Monroe following this conversation (screenshots on subsequent pages). What a blast shooting with this drag visionary in the Financial District in New York. Plasma’s attention to detail is exquisite.

I can’t believe we are at the the final episode of @holdingspacewithtracy season 2. We are closing out the season shot primarily at @thestonewallinn with my pal, my darling @plasmanyc. Please join Plasma and me tomorrow for an in-depth conversation about drag, art, activism, Broadway, Marilyn, and Barbra. Catch up on Holding Space with Tracy wherever you get your podcasts. 🩷

Kellyoke, competitive games, driving sapphics into a frenzy! I’ll miss so much about @kellyclarksonshow. Most of all, I’ll miss how @kellyclarkson has uplifted queer and trans people by making space for us to tell our stories with heart and dignity. I was lucky enough to witness it up close when the show featured a segment about @itgetsbetter. Thank you, @caragh_complete, for your friendship and for making this happen. @morrisonmediagroup and @rosswilliamvon, thank you for the laughs and support in the green room and otherwise.
