Ruffalo toured a friend's apartment in the Mission many years ago. Apparently he's a very nice guy.

B’s not on Twitter so sometimes i find out about stuff before he does lol (eg the danielle rose thing)

I semi-recently watched the movie where MR plays the West Virginia lawyer (the area is near where my Dad's family was from, though they had moved prior to the plant being built). ... I am always here for MR content

otmalso is it just me or is it ~insane~ that this spun so out of control that it went to court? it feels very high schooldolman seems defensive to an unhinged degree & larson seems petty to the point where a different word might need to be invented(but i love Robert Kolker & it’s a v good article!)

When Larson discusses “The Kindest” now, the idea that it’s about a kidney donation at all seems almost irrelevant. If that hadn’t formed the story’s pretext, she believes, it would have been something else. “It’s like saying that ‘Moby Dick’ is a book about whales,” she said.
― Tracer Hand, Tuesday, 5 October 2021 19:56 (two years ago) link
i mean i don’t know how long it’s been since she read Moby Dick but i’m finishing it right now and let me tell you that dude fucking loves whales
― Tracer Hand, Tuesday, 5 October 2021 19:57 (two years ago) link
it's a crazy fucking story for sure

I left that conference with this question: Do writers not care about my kidney donation?
I think I can answer that for you!

Everyone involved should option the story rights to whichever Coen brother is still making movies.

On the one hand literally no-one's life is improved by this story existing or anyone thinking about it for an appreciable amount of time.
On the other hand
“I think I’m DONE with the kidney story but I feel nervous about sending it out b/c it literally has sentences that I verbatim grabbed from Dawn’s letter on FB. I’ve tried to change it but I can’t seem to — that letter was just too damn good. I’m not sure what to do … feeling morally compromised/like a good artist but a shitty person.”
Like, if you can't rewrite the letter then you're also a pretty shitty artist?

Isn't part of the point of Kidney Person (and Cat Person) about digital culture?
