"You read books, eh?" A 1949 red scare Herblock cartoon about pressures on teachers that hits hard once again.

Even though today was shitty, I didn’t text National Secrets on a Signal chat and put a bunch of military folks in harm’s way so I’ve at least got that going for me.

Make this go viral!

Her husband’s life was put at risk by the Signal texts.

I'm rewatching The Wire. A character in the episode I'm watching says, "A lie ain't a side of the story. It's just a lie." For some reason, that speaks to me these days (as do a million other lines from the show.)

Never Stop Filming: 5 Black Horror Characters Who Know The Importance Of Keeping Receipts Sharai Bohannon highlights a fascinating horror trend: the Black camera operator and their job to record and protect white counterparts.

I swear I’m gonna shut up at some point today BUT I’m fucking proud of this new thing over at @dreadcentral.bsky.social.

Huge thanks to @cassclarke.bsky.social for listening to my podcasts and alerting me that I said something interesting in my tipsy rants.

as a playwright, I feel a lot of big feelings about seeing organizations like the Playwrights Center and New Harmony - nonprofits which incubate, develop and support new plays and support living playwrights - bravely call out the NEA’s cowardice and defend diverse voices in the American theatre

This is the piece I will be arrested for. by Arthur M. Jolly Charges will be made, Leveled, brought, filed And this is the piece I will be arrested for. Do not read it. They have warned you. The words are subversive, an incitement to violence. I have committed assault, I have disturbed the natural order, I would resist, but I have no resistance. Only empty words, unread, unheard. And this is the piece I will be arrested for. I have beaten my ineffectual fists against the monolithic tanks and heard nothing but a hollow knocking echoing inside. Inciting violence will be stamped across my file. I would show these words to them and ask where, but who would I show them to?
They will not read them, they will not, for these are the words I will be arrested for. (Do not read them. They have warned you.) Inciting violence, when the blood drips from their boot heels, when every action they have taken in turn took its price in suffering, in misery, in lives. Was I the one that said when peaceful protest is impossible, violence is the only option? That Fascism has only ever been defeated by direct confrontation, that complacency always and only aids the oppressor? Those aren’t my words, even if they are true. I never said them. And yet These are the words I will be arrested for. Do not read them. They have warned you.

How long before speaking out against the regime is labeled "UnAmerican"? Over/under is six months.

I stand with the trans community. Pass it along.

Straw, Sticks, Bricks by Arthur M. Jolly You know their story, you've just never noticed them in all that huffing and puffing: Straw, Sticks, and Bricks (the chosen building materials of the Three Little Pigs) are personified in this moving...

YES! And btw, this came out today, and I am so proud of a little play about a pile of straw that longs to be a house. Everyone deserves to have their story told! www.youthplays.com/play/straw-s...

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

Politics is the art of the possible. And when the answer to "who's gonna stop me?" is "no one"... suddenly a lot of bad shit is possible.

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it.

“When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.”

As best you can, ignore him.

You can wipe the s*** off the walls, but the stain remains.

Congratulations!

May I suggest plays? So few libraries carry plays written after 1950.
