Some thoughts on this World Theatre Day from @crritic.bsky.social.

They choose this. They choose this. They choose this. Melania. Usha. Ivanka. They are adults and they choose all this. They can leave at any moment, and every day they are still choosing this. They are not victims, they are henchwomen.

If you’ve never seen BoJack Horseman, I cannot think of a better time to start watching it. The acerbic wit and self awareness is an excellent way to escape but it also affirms so much of what we know of the world.

I wrote something that means the world to me. Please read it. Please share it. 💗

😭😭😭😭

2025 is going to suck bad enough. That’s why someone or several someones with money need to save @chicagoreader.com. We can’t afford to lose free indie pubs anymore. Truly we cannot. #savenewspapers

I just decorated for Christmas. I’m always an early November decorator. But I couldn’t bring myself to do it until now. I’m glad I did though. Did my heart good.

It’s BoJacked Horseman. #beastars #yahya

All I want for Christmas is to not have any more unprecedented times.

I’m so glad @vivziepop.bsky.social introduced the Helluva Boss fandom to Patrick Page. Just another incredible stage performer in this universe that I adore.

my primary issue with straight actors taking on gay roles is that they usually make these films completely sexless, ergo doing absolutely nothing to normalize gay sex in society. happily, #queermovie is an exception. my review for @screenanarchy.bsky.social:

Merrick Garland is dead to me.

Scrolling casually through the Rotten Tomatoes critics synopses of Wicked made one thing abundantly clear — most of the critics who panned it were men who thought it was without substance.

“Wicked” isn’t a masterpiece. It is a thrilling love letter to musical theater.

Found a long forgotten, green velvet dress with silver stars all over it. Am I going to wear it to see Wicked even though I’m going to a 9:45 am showing? You bet your ass I am.

Me vs everyone who stands by DT.

Don't do Nazi shit.

As someone who has loved Wicked for literally half their life and as an unashamed theater kid, I am begging you not to sing in the theater.

This isn't a culture war. This is the only trans congresswoman, ever being bullied through the press and legislation, and having only 1 of hundreds of colleagues stand up for her. They can do more than 1 thing at a time. Defending her will not take so much effort that they can't do their jobs.

Matt Gaetz is out. 👋

Octavia Butler being a time traveler or seer, will forever be a hill I'm willing to die on, because there's just no way. Parable of The Sower was published in 1993. Look at this date. #BlackBookSky #BookSky

disney exec: it’s about a guy who thinks he’s a monkey lol. probably don’t need anything too crazy for the soundtrack. phil collins: [eyes glowing white, levitating above the ground] no

He really decided to pull from the cream of the crap for the cabinet.

Please listen to Emily. Don't abandon trans kids.

some of the best critics in the world.

I need Disney to explain why they made Flounder in love with Ariel in the stage musical version. The most unnecessary character change.

We all let Jimmy Carter down.

It turns out rock-bottom has a basement.

Be sure to look over your checklist this weekend! BMHF is here for you. 🧠🌟

I’ve been collecting stuff for a future kiddo for years. The new administration is putting my dream into a scary place. I have PCOS and my hormone levels will make it hard or even impossible to have a baby. But it won’t stop me from holding on to that dream of being a mom - one way or another.

King Lear is a cautionary tale about what happens when Boomers don’t retire

You are: 💚 an artist 💚 a healer 💚 a creator 💚 a survivor 💚 a fighter and our industry is lucky to have YOU! There is only one you — that’s your greatest talent.

I unfollowed several #travelwriters on Insta in the last week. How can you do this work and support DJT? Travel is supposed to make you more open minded. They must be doing travel wrong.

Someone at Writers Theatre is singing “What Was I Made For” but entirely in “meows.” And it’s delightful.

Goodreads is owned by Jeff Bezos. A better alternative is StoryGraph, a Black woman-owned platform. And before y’all start, you can transfer all your Goodreads data to Storygraph so you literally have no excuse.

I forgot how much I like scrolling a text based app.
