- Introduce us to your character Mark and where he fits into the bigger picture?

Matt: "Mark is an eccentric, larger-than-life character. He is extremely passionate about and verging on obsessed with this live podcast he does, Mystery Signals. He is really smart. He is a bit of a loner. He also craves to be a part of things and receive validation. Dan is his best friend, and they've been friends for a very long time. He is very loyal to his friends. They are very different in their personalities, which is why they work so well together."

Matt via instagram: "Evan Bleiweiss (unbelievably talented writer & producer!) @epbleiweiss said it best 🤩…“ #1 scripted series in

the US and the #2 TV show overall

IN THE US AND THE WORLD 🤯 “

“Mark doesn’t necessarily show up for a lot of people other than himself. But when it comes to Dan, he really does show up. And that makes him enjoyable to play and witness as a viewer.”

Such an important book that so many of us need right now. Do yourself a favor and buy it.

"Instead of dismissing a person so quickly, it's much more effective to get curious. Every person has reasons for why they act the way they do. Even if someone's inaction strikes us as totally self-defeating or pointless, within the context of that person's life, it makes sense....Here are some questions to ask yourself:

What need are they trying to meet by acting this way?

What challenges or barriers are getting in the way of their making a change?

What hidden struggles (such as physical disability, mental illness, trauma, or oppression) might explain the difficulties they're facing?

Who might have taught them to act this way?

Do they have other options?

Are those options really attainable for them?

What kind of help might they need?"

"A queer, transgender Indigenous person, Xochitl knows very deeply what it's like to be impacted by injustice on a day-to-day basis. One way that ze deals with it is by giving lots of space for mourning and grief. 'I think we don't know how to grieve as a society,' ze says. 'I think lots of the conversation about activist burnout is actually about grieving, being really able to and willing to just sit in this space of *This is fucking awful. And there might not be anything I can do to solve this.’

…ze often mourns the harm that has already been done to the planet due to industrialization and climate change. Though society can take steps to reduce carbon emissions and slow the damage that's occurring, there's some harm that can never be undone.

'The Amazon is burning. So many animals have gone extinct because of climate change,' ze says. 'And there's always, I think, this natural impulse to make sense of it all. Like, *What are ways in which you can take action? Like, you sign some petitions? Can you commit to not using plastic?* And we can talk about those steps. But let's start with the grief. Let's start with the fact that even if I cut out all plastic from my life, that doesn't take away all the plastic in the ocean."
