My dear sweet brother, who has such a big heart and who has battled addiction his whole adult life, overdosed on fentanyl after a good stretch of sobriety followed by a quick slide downhill after a heartbreak. But he’s ALIVE. His heart stopped and he was medically dead, but he was revived by paramedics and now he’s in the hospital in Salt Lake, fighting fever and complications as he struggles to regain cognitive function – his brain was deprived of oxygen and likely suffered some damage. My mom @dr.christinemarie and I have been here with him every day since we heard, and my dad made it back from the middle of nowhere in Madagascar and is here with us now. We’re so grateful to our other family and friends who have also come to help, but we’re still very much on a rollercoaster vacillating between hopeful and terrified.
I’m posting for two reasons: 1) if you know Christian, we would appreciate any messages of love we can read to him in the precious hours while he’s awake and can hear us, so he knows to keep fighting. And 2) We need to figure out some kind of housing in the Murray/Salt Lake area (around the Intermountain Medical Center), since we don’t live here and staying is growing costly – it’s day 9 and it might be a while. If anyone has a room available, or feels like contributing to our Airbnb costs (we inquired about hospital discounts at local hotels and they’re still ~$130/night), we would appreciate any help.
My Venmo is @Lola-Blanc, but nice words help too. I love my brother so much and I just want him to get better.

Definitely my actual boob size. This is what I look like and I don’t know why you’ve never noticed. Photo by @deathcats, makeup by @kelizaa_mua
Don’t talk to me I’m in my reels phase and I have brain worms now
I wrote Trust Me after a period of severe anxiety that came out of nowhere and looped in my head for months. I spent hours every day doing mental compulsions to try not to lose my mind or lose my grip on reality, and eventually went through ERP therapy for OCD—something I had only seen on TV as people who were germaphobic, and something I had no idea could be internal and invisible to the outside world. Recovery was so fucking hard, learning to trust that it was okay to make a mistake was so hard, and I was so convinced I would do it wrong, but I put in the work anyway and now my relationship to my thoughts is completely different. (But make no mistake: she’s never done obsessing.) You can listen to the song tomorrow, August 8th.

Go’n’listen
Seeing @pruningfilm on the big screen in good ol’ Los Angeles with friends present (and finally @germyradin) was a pleasure and an honor. Thank you @hollyshorts, and stay tuned for more cities soon ✂️
Some excerpts from my new piece for @talkhouse, on how cinematic genius is equated with maleness in the cultural zeitgeist, why we need to rethink who we instinctively consider great, and why women need the funding to showcase their brilliance. Photo by @lizbretz, and link where links live

Also listen to my new song and add it to playlists because a girl with this much headwear has got to be shameless ✨
