now and forever

clearly it's tech day one on tour for Perfect Show For Rachel

It’s so illogical to me that there are grown adults with proper jobs who quite happily square their belief that charities and human rights experts and so on can be right about everything apart from trans rights and that fascists and dictators can be wrong about everything apart from trans rights

if a single theatre is messaging its FOH staff to fall in line with the ehrc (how???) we've lost our fucking minds. absolutely not.

No one ever had to yell “adapt or die” to get me to use any other bit of technology in my life.

In Oxford! Perfect Show For Rachel opens tomorrow! www.oxfordplayhouse.com/events/perfe...

WE DON'T NEED PETROLEUM-BASED PLASTICS ANYMORE! "The [bamboo plastic] outperforms most commercial plastics and bioplastics in mechanical and thermo-mechanical metrics while maintaining full biodegradability in soil within 50 days and closed-loop recyclability with 90% retained strength."

It’s World Ovarian Cancer Day today, so please forgive me banging on even more than usual. The most important thing is how vague and tricky the symptoms are - but that once you know, tests can be quite straightforward. Here’s a good place to start: targetovariancancer.org.uk/about-ovaria...

The multi-award winning show #PerfectShowForRachel is coming to @oxfordplayhouse.bsky.social next week, Weds-Sat. 2x sold-out runs at Barbican. Would LOVE to see folks there. www.oxfordplayhouse.com/events/perfe...

my parents hometown has flipped Lib Dem from a Tory stronghold as long as I've lived, and there are now more green than reform seats, too. never thought I'd see anything but blue. fash flags on roundabouts not equivalent to popularity/ votes. (if Croydon could actually declare that would be greattt)

this is such a slam dunk, esp the last line.

insisted we took this xxxx

Eeesh

When you see the relentless attacks from other parties on the Greens across the media remember this: They hate our plan to end Rip Off Britain. They don't want a wealth tax. They don't want public ownership & lower bills. They're trying everything in their power to stop us.

See you tomorrow at #D&D21 where we will be the right people to help make the field of theatre a better place.

me watching a room full of incredibly talented artists making DIY slug puppets on the floor in an R+D last week muttering 'the government pays us for this' (the slugs were great)

Heading to @bushtheatre.bsky.social for two days on a divine new play by Laurie Ogden today with @wearezooco.bsky.social and some really special artists.

Can't remember your surname for the life of me.

ok theatres, crazy pitch but what about a little tech spec for me that's just there on ur website for free as a little treat x

This fortnight's energy has been extremely Start Of The New Financial Year xxxx can't explain won't try xxxxxx not a finance girly xxxxx

All bad things gotta come to an end… Viktor Orbán concedes with Hungarian opposition on course for landslide election win

Where to find the words anymore? What to say when Israel continues to behave like this? And no condemnation at all from the UK Government. They carry on business as usual as if Israel aren't carrying out genocides in both Gaza and Lebanon. aje.news/jf7llm

I didn't know Mick, but those who did speak so warmly of him and his work. Xxx

Scottish Labour pledges £30m to top up artists’ income to a living wage

Data meets demagogue. Paul McNamara didn’t let Farage hide behind “leaflet” waffle—just pinned him down with facts. This is what accountability looks like. #r4today

Wes Streeting having the chutzpah to tell the story about the NHS. He doesn't tell the bit about how much he's accepted from private healthcare and the risk our NHS is at under this Labour Government. And most of all, lots of questions about his meetings with Palantir. #BBCQT

excruciatingly embarrassing actually xxxxxx

I love Croydon I have zero doubt that anti-fash will outnumber these pricks but the EMBARRASSMENT of it. The audacity. We sat thru hours of community consultation & steering groups to talk about this building's future. Didn't even contemplate it could come to this.

The next BAC, they promised. Croydon's version of the Southbank. 6 years later we've got a dead building, theatre co's can't afford to put work on, community groups outpriced, but AH! Farage & friends welcome! Oh great ! Actually ! Fairfield Halls wtf www.yourlocalguardian.co.uk/news/2591941...

pov: you've just been mentally and physically and financially ransacked by ur first fringe.

let's not insist that theatre is a training pool for working on screen. I know this is a bad faith read, but it also feels important not to make theatre become TV and film's kid sibling/ training pool to take care of. that lens really narrows the lens of what good and valuable theatre can be.

great actually

As Nigel Farage is now so concerned about the influence of "foreign-born voters" can he finally explain why a Kazakhstan-born billionaire appears to be bankrolling his own political party?

Drop the charges. 🇵🇸

moved by this headline in so many ways. we are probably all more changing and brave than we allow ourselves to know.

Theatre cannot save us. But it can keep something alive that the present order depends on extinguishing: the sense that another way of being together is not only imaginable, but felt. Fight for theatre that does not provide solutions but enacts the possibility that alternatives can be rehearsed.

He is very nearly explicitly saying out loud at a press conference a core vulgar tenet of fascism: we are allowed to kill you if your worldview threatens our power

Once again tapping my sign: ICE exist in the UK 🚨 They have had arrest powers since 2000. This government - not a hypothetical future one - is working harder than ever before to raid homes and businesses.

A month full of friends piled onto sofas, making each other dinner and screaming at the telly. I love our January blues combatting Traitors rituals.

CNN: DHS officials have come to FEMA staff and told them to limit the use of the word ice…they are worried that by posting something like, watch out for the ice, that it's going to become a meme….

in case you're curious about how angry Minnesota is about ICE, it was -20 today

In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi. He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael. At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk. Wael died on Friday at age 30. ICE caused his death. They didn’t get to say goodbye.
