Melissa A. Nathan (she/hers) 🏳️‍🌈 🎭🖖

Many thanks to my friend, Josh, for inviting me to see &Juliet! It was so fun and I had the best time, other than me leaving my cup at the merch stand 🤦🏻‍♀️

(Side note: the bathrooms at the Stephen Sondheim may be the best ones I’ve seen at a Broadway house)

The only playwright I have books by or about in addition to their actual plays are William Shakespeare and Tom Stoppard. It’s my dream to be able to do Hamlet and Rosenkrantz & Guildenstern in rep (I’ve done both separately). This is a great loss. May his memory be a blessing.

BREAKING: This is huge news, the EU's equivalent of the 🇺🇸Supreme Court's 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges ruling.

🇪🇺Court of Justice just ruled all 🇪🇺countries must recognise same-sex marriages granted in other member states.

This effectively legalises gay marriage across 🇪🇺

Viola Fletcher, Oldest Survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, Dies at 111

As a survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, Viola Ford Fletcher bravely shared her story so that we’d never forget this painful part of our history. Michelle and I are grateful for her lifelong work to advance civil rights, and send our love to her family.

Exactly.... #PopeLeo

I always forget about this episode 😂

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen.

Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

I just love them so much

In case you were wondering why the government was shut down:

Tee hee hah hah

I’m not saying they should’ve smashed when Jimmie wanted them too, but definitely by the end of the episode.

One of my favorite episodes. However, one of my gripes about S7 is that TPTB were clearly trying to keep Riker & Troi apart to shoehorn the Worf/Troi relationship. Riker is barely in this episode & she’s barely in Pegasus, which are 2 episodes where they’d normally have more of a presence.

Mamdani hasn’t been elected yet and he’s already driving criminals out of New York.

Susan, I hope I look as good as you at 102!

What happened to Charlie Kirk is also what happened to 20 children (ages 6 and 7) at the Sandy Hook Elementary School.

I don’t remember the right being this upset back then—do you? 🤨

So glad ICE is in Chicago. The city is a lawless hell-scape. Blues musicians wrecking hundreds of police cars. High schoolers doing weird scientific sex experiments. Kids home alone during the holidays. Women killing their husbands and lovers and then SINGING about it sassily. This has to stop.

It’s always Star Trek Day in my heart (and on my leg). Still trying to figure out another tattoo to incorporate more ships 🖖

We're back baybee!!

Can’t wait!

"By moving convicted felon Maxwell to a minimum security, country club prison, the DOJ sends a disturbing message that child sex trafficking is acceptable and will be rewarded."

Sensible opening night selfie for Cymbeline, the last opening of the summer.

Fun fact: I saw Ichiro play for all three of his MLB teams. I saw him on the Mariners against the Yankees (I think he hit two home runs), I saw him play for the Yankees, and I saw him on the Marlins against the Mets.

It’s called a Thigh Master!

I know that Shark Week has done a lot of stupid/celebrity filled programs over the years, especially recently, but I’m annoyed this is how we’re starting the week.
