Yep! And Berliner ensemble and NYC!

By the way, it wasn’t a coproduction! It was a Trav production which visited the RC. ❤️

Nearly 40 years later Tilda Swinton and I are having another go at Manfred Karge’s Man to Man.

Pregnant Women, DON’T USE TYLENOL UNLESS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY, DON’T GIVE TYLENOL TO YOUR YOUNG CHILD FOR VIRTUALLY ANY REASON, BREAK UP THE MMR SHOT INTO THREE TOTALLY SEPARATE SHOTS (NOT MIXED!), TAKE CHICKEN P SHOT SEPARATELY, TAKE HEPATITAS B SHOT AT 12 YEARS OLD, OR OLDER, AND, IMPORTANTLY, TAKE VACCINE IN 5 SEPARATE MEDICAL VISITS!

Off to Cambridge University to talk about learning disabilities.

I relish the contradiction.

This is what fascism looks like.

The people in Arizona’s 7th congressional district have been without representation in Congress for over 7 months.

Mike Johnson continues to deny them representation because their duly elected representative has pledged to sign the petition to release the Epstein files.

Best bought in boxes of 10.

Make it make sense. [Cartoon by Adam Zyglis]

Special education staff decimated after Trump administration shutdown firings: Sources The nation’s special education services have been significantly damaged after Fridays’s mass layoffs within the Department of Education, sources told ABC News.

The Department of Education reportedly fired nearly everyone in the office that focuses on the nation’s children with disabilities in a wave of new layoffs

Proud of this. Like sending a thought out into the world. To be heard, ignored or rejected. But there it is.

The Pope tweets: "The poor are not there by chance or by blind and cruel fate. Nor, for most of them, is poverty a choice. Yet, there are those who still presume to make this claim, thus revealing their own blindness and cruelty. #DilexiTe" Someone replies: "I was so hopeful I could be a Catholic again after the disaster that Francis was, guess we just get Francis 2.0 now and I am heartbroken. How do I stay a Catholic now...I don't want to lose faith but I am. You belong to someone else, not God."

heartbroken to learn the pope sympathizes with the poor. how can i continue to believe in god

Brilliant evening hearing our former @kidscharity.bsky.social Chair @stephenunwin.bsky.social talk to Patron @cathynewman.bsky.social about his book ‘Beautiful Lives’. A compelling challenge to stop valuing only money and cleverness and to adopt a richer notion of being human.

Great to meet you.

Great talking to Cathy Newman at a lovely evening for KIDS tonight.

Thanks so much for doing it!

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

To anyone who thinks Jenrick was right in what he said. He was WRONG!

Birmingham is a proud, diverse and welcoming city but Brummies will not stand by and let MP’s or anyone else attempt to sow division in our communities.

In 1981 the SDP / Liberals were polling at more than 50% with the Tories and Labour both at 23%.

Reform’s strength is overstated.
