I’m interested in stories that gently erase the boundaries between love and friendship, featuring characters who shuffle the two feelings in unexpected ways. I like narratives that navigate contradictions and do away with false binaries, illustrating the complexity of what we humans call intimacy. Who is

QUEUE

How meme culture changed comedy writing.

Do memes live rent-free in your head? The Workaholic writers’ room famously kept whiteboards of “over-done jokes” that were verboten.
