well, half my targeted ads are bragging about the destruction of everything I love at the inhuman hands of ai & the billionaires bankrolling it & the other half are trying to coax me into joining a "mining family"

how's y'all's dystopias going?

One Special Guy is never, ever going to save you and how many f*ing elections do we have to have to test out our Special Guy Theory

I have, in fact, moved to several cities. & I've written much better work living where the connecting strings of human lives are most visible to me, the dramas that unfold before me are spoken in subtext layered on my heart since childhood, & I am a player in generations of strange events.

It's 2025, smack in the middle of a festering decade of plagues & housing crisis & poverty & decaying transportation systems. & the memory that we can do things differently is still so close at hand.

"Move to the big city!" simply cannot be the evergreen advice for artists any more.

Yes, some rural &/or disabled playwrights can travel for opportunities, depending on distance, frequency, etc. There are many factors. But a major one is money. If there's no consideration for what *could* be done remotely, there's a huge financial barrier for poor rural playwrights.

...I do think you should be upfront & say "because we aren't interested in the voices of rural & disabled playwrights" in your explanation of this change. & if that doesn't sit well with you, maybe consider if it would be so damn hard to keep options open.

I fully understand why many playwrights prefer in-person development opportunities. I do too, which is why I work to create them for myself & other playwrights in my rural area. But if you're running a dev program in a city & you let playwrights work with you remotely in 2020 but phased it out...

we owe her a future that reflects her decades of work to save us from living in the past.

i understand some of you are actors & i'm willing to grant some leeway there, however this crossover is probably how people started thinking it was okay to ask playwrights to be photographed in the 1st place. so maybe take some responsibility for your actions. idk how. get separate unhot headshots?

denormalize hot playwright headshots. we should not be looked at. that is not what we are for. i'm sorry hot playwrights, nothing personal, but you're ruining it for all of us.

my toxic trait is that i think vermont could be a province

Canada has a VERY TEMPORARY legal situation allowing anyone with provable CA ancestry to claim Canadian citizenship w/ no generational limit. It may be overruled, but it’s real now. Colin and I both have French Québécois ancestors so you bet yer ass that I’m doing a LOT of rush document requests now

the only reason i can think of for banning calvin & hobbes is not wanting kids to know that books can be actually fun & worthwhile & not just tired metaphors about the evils of trans people brought to you by christofascist youtubers

my favourite font is hoefler text, no contest, but i feel like it’s illegal to send documents in hoefler text so i’m out here changing everything to tnr at the last minute like a liar

vintage picnic set on fb marketplace never used is a sadder story to me than baby shoes never worn cuz maybe that baby just came out with bigger feet than anticipated but if you’ve gone 20+ years without having a picnic you ain’t living right

Mahmoud Khalil is free. May his release lead to the release of all who are detained and incarcerated from the US to Palestine, in ICE facilities and in prisons. And may his courage inspire us to remain steadfast in fighting for Palestinian liberation.

at minimum 2 people out there gotta have a comical anecdote about a mormon mistaking a trans person’s binder lines for garment lines or vice versa & i hope those 2 people are good friends now

whatever you’re doing in your social life, if you can find a way to up the amount of time you’re spending with old lesbians, you will see immediate mental health benefits

A PSA for anyone who needs to hear it: if someone mutes you on social media b/c of an exchange you had, please don't find their mailing address and mail them a letter, even if you feel you've been misunderstood. It's creepy and invasive. (I shouldn't have to explain why this is a hard & fast rule!)

when a trans person gently reminds you of their pronouns & you respond by jokingly suggesting they might do violence to you if you mess up again that's probably more information about your internal biases about trans people than they wanted to be made aware of

a man singing into a microphone with the words that 's the thing i 'm sensitive about below him Alt: john mulaney shouts “that's the thing i’m sensitive about”
