Respectfully, eat shit. Those kids were expelled, arrested, and targeted relentlessly by their school administrations with the specific goal of preventing further protest. Eighteen year old kids were held down and maced by campus security, hit point blank with tear gas canisters by riot cops.
Events have conspired that I am running tonight's final dress rehearsal before we open on Saturday, and well... we'll see how this goes.
I know everyone in the DMV is saying the same thing right now, but it was 86 degrees yesterday and today it is SNOWING, and I am CROSS ABOUT IT.
Clint McElroy has suddenly appeared on the guest list for Awesome Con in DC this weekend, and that man has come into town to see his grandkids and found out he could show up at two panels and make a few bucks and I Salute That Spirit.
Tis the season to just have the Passion chorale stuck in my head all the time, I guess.
Six years ago this week, I was reading NK Jemison’s The Stone Sky, and this hits just as hard today as it did then. I wish it didn’t! Wish things were better and the world wasn’t still filled with fear and suffering! But it still helps.
This is absolutely fantastic and fitting, well done!!! I really look forward to reading.
I have no idea how well it holds up but I loved it very much! I've been wanting to take the time to find it and watch it again for awhile.
Exactly, the real world is always more complex and also the opinions you form as a teenager who never leaves home without both a book AND a backup book are likewise very real and true.
I haven't seen the Wilde biopic in twenty years, probably, but I DID have the poster up in my freshman dorm room and I DID always cry when baby Michael Sheen as Robbie Ross tips his hat, and I WILL always hate Jude Law for no better reason than playing Bosie. I am very normal and reasonable.
If ever there is an opportunity to say A HAAAAAAAAAAAAANDBAAAAAAAAG?????? and I don’t take it, people should be CONCERNED. The rhythms of this play are off the CHAIN, it’s so funny every damn time.
Oh NO
I have discovered the Modern Era versions of the classic American Girl dolls and I am taken SOMEWHAT ABACK. What is the POINT?? (to sell more dolls, I know, but they used to be marginally better than this!!)
What do you mean, this is so normal, so all-American good time fun time patriotic presidential embracing?
Hey, friends. Three years ago today I released VOID 1680 AM, the response to which legitimately changed my life.

I spent a lot of the second half just thinking to myself self, YASSSSSS GIRLS, Kill! Those! Men!!
God I love the weird ways dancers pretend to be normal people on stage. The gestures! The careful artifice of high emotion! Ballet is a trip and I love it.
Ahhhhh wasn’t it BEAUTIFUL????? God the paintings were just so gorgeous, I would redraw them all the time.
When I was a kid, I bought this book and read it again and again. The art was beautiful and I loved the wild and dramatic stories of ballets I’d never heard of before. I was obsessed with the story of Giselle and never forgotten that childhood fascination. Tonight I FINALLY get to see it.
My youngest nephew got into a performing arts high school in NYC!!!! I'm so proud of him I could BURST.
Oh my GOD YES, CHARIOTEER. I finally read that for the first time last year, and I think about it ALL THE TIME.
Why am I so delighted by this pattern of Jacob Tierney reading a book and going YES PLEASE, THIS.
Greg Davies: Great task, well done. Didn‘t eat a thing.
Persephone: Thank you.
Alex Horne: Ah. Well. Let’s take another look at that pomegranate.
Sometimes when I get particularly overwhelmed, I make a big list of all the specific things that are making me feel that way and it becomes more manageable. Sometimes, I see the length of the list, and seeing it all laid out makes it WORSE. The fun game is, you never know which one you’ll get!
I signed up to volunteer at a con I couldn't otherwise get a badge for, and they want me on the 10pm-2am shifts, which seem to be all that's left. Folks, how do I explain that simply being awake at 2am is my actual nightmare?
This is so precisely my jam I feel called out.
Now the only problem is how much I’d love to get to play again…
A goal of many years is finally achieved- got to play my first game of Ten Candles tonight.
“The children are always ours, every single one of them, all over the globe; and I am beginning to suspect that whoever is incapable of recognizing this may be incapable of morality.”

Picked a good day to spend a few hours at the barn, ankle deep in mud and helping out with the horses.
