‘I've always remembered something Sanford Meisner, my acting teacher, told us. When you create a character, it's like making a chair, except instead of making someting out of wood, you make it out of yourself. That's the actor's craft - using yourself to create a character.’

when there’s too many bones in the bouillabaisse for you
I watched The Testament of Ann Lee recently, and I've been thinking about it ever since. It's so beautiful in its depiction of the weird ways that ego, faith, and sexuality become bound up in each other, about cults of personality, about how people who change the world are often difficult to love.
Janet is a dear friend and an absolute sweetie who is just trying to make a good life for herself. Help if you can, pass along if you can't.
I'm increasingly put off by the tendency to apply "cute" and thus nice, comfortable, and non-threatening aesthetics to everything queer.
biding her time
well I avoided it for 5 years but it looks like COVID finally got me :/
This is the dynamic across most of America: Liberal cities generate revenue, which state governments then transfer to benefit conservative rural areas, whose residents despite city-dwellers and consistently vote to harm them. But politicians endlessly pander to rural voters and demonize cities.
