I made my friends go to Disneyland with me as, like, a joke, but it randomly ended up being one of the best days of my life. 07 Sep 2026

Ryan O’Connell lived through the era of the viral personal essay, as one of the first paid writers at Thought Catalog more than a decade ago. Since then, he’s written award-winning television and books, and watched the Internet enter a new era: the video essay industrial complex. I talked with Ryan about how the Internet has changed since he started making a living on it, and what’s sadly remained the same. You can find our entire chat wherever you get podcasts and on YouTube. And check out Ryan’s newest book, Inspiration Porn. It’s out right now. 13 Jul 2026

Ryan O’Connell on Parting Glances, the AIDS-Era Film That Still Feels Alive. The Emmy-winning writer and actor on the 1986 queer landmark that captured gay life in all its fear, sex, gossip and tenderness. Directed by Bill Sherwood, Parting Glances (dir. Bill Sherwood, 1986) unfolds across a single day in New York City as Michael prepares to say goodbye to his partner Robert, who is leaving for Africa on a two-year work placement. At the centre of their farewell is Nick - Michael’s ex, a sardonic downtown musician living with AIDS - whose presence quietly reframes everything the couple think they know about love, loyalty and what it means to stay. Shot on a shoestring budget across Manhattan’s East Village, the film moves through dinner parties, downtown bars and intimate apartments with the loose, observational rhythm of a city that hasn’t quite noticed the world is changing around it. It was one of the first American films to place an AIDS-positive character at its heart without reducing him to tragedy - Nick is funny, difficult and wholly alive. Sherwood died of AIDS-related complications two years after its release, never making another film. Parting Glances remains, quietly and completely, his.

@ryanoconn’s mantra with the gays? Let go and let God. The author had @adameli over to his Bowery Hotel room, where he wrote part of his latest book ‘Inspiration Porn’ and had a lot of sex too. Watch along to hear O’Connell reflect on disability, open relationships, and the long journey from feeling “unfuckable” to claiming his own sexual agency, then head to the link in bio to read his full conversation with Eli. 23 Jun 2026

Doctors have confirmed: my brain is 80% Bravo at this point (other 20% is identifying paparazzi pics of MK Olsen from 2005-2011) It was a pleasure being back at the mothership @bravowwhl with @bravoandy and @gen_lillie. We played a lot of weird sex games? Tune in! 22 Jun 2026

This is SAME PAGE: our interview series where we ask some of our favorite book people about their favorite things that aren’t books. So we can all get on the SAME PAGE. 🤲 Ryan O’Connell (@ryanoconn) is an American writer, actor, director, comedian, LGBTQ activist, and disability advocate. He is known for his 2015 memoir, I’m Special: And Other Lies We Tell Ourselves, about his life as a gay man with cerebral palsy, which he adapted into the television series Special for Netflix. Ryan can still get into Prune (ok brag), loves taking the Surfliner to Santa Barbara, and would like a BREAK from newly famous podcasters ❤️. His new book of essays, Inspiration Porn (@stmartinspress), is out now. SLAY! #pagebreak #books #interview #bookstagram 18 Jun 2026
