Ah it's Edinburgh Fringe Recommendation Week, where reviewers who spend one weekend in Edinburgh each year declare which bits of as-yet-unproduced theatre are worth seeing based on which PR agents have emailed them. Feels like it gets sooner every year!

To the AI telling me to change "someone I actually like" to "someone I like" for conciseness - fuck you, words mean things

The true believers of the transphobic movement are obviously beneath contempt, but it's the Sensible Centrists who seem to have outsourced their morality to a bunch of old folks in wigs who really boil my biologically male piss

In 2013 we had 2 Popes, which was very rare. In 2022, after 9 years we dropped down to 1. Three years later we are at zero. Extrapolating the trend we should be on negative Popes by 2026

>be british >finally vote out the right wing party that has ruled us for decades >more austerity, more support for genocide, disability benefits slashed, and trans people can't use the toilet anymore >celebrate all the damage we limited

If one of the consequences of your ruling is that lesbians are not allowed to be attracted to trans women, I think it's pretty clear that there are some flaws

Good thing we voted for the lesser evil, I'm sure they'll leap to stop the legal destruction of trans identity, right?

Dream team for my workshop of #WildfireSeason at Edinburgh Festival Theatre Studio.

I'm not really a concert person, but I made my first attempt to buy tickets today (for Chappell of course) and oh boy it really does suck doesn't it

It's fascinating that people who've made their whole personality about hating trans people turn out to all be great enthusiasts for women's pool

Garron sailing away from TikTok like Odysseus while the Cyclops shouts "Noone! Noone was racist!"

I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was And the fact that my core political beliefs now revolve around hating foreigners and trans people because a children's author told me to doesn't represent a change in my youthful ideology of progress

I try to stay chipper about applications and rejection - it is a part of what I do, especially while I remain in that dreaded category of "emerging artist", but they're coming thick and fast at the moment and it's hard to not feel worn down

Just did my first chorale harmonisation of my professional career, so I think I've got some harmony teachers to apologise to

Spoilers for #TheTraitors, but surely it's already over? Frankie will say Charlotte's a traitor, Charlotte will claim that's a lie, the other three are enough to vote them both out in turn.

No, you don't understand, it's Roman! He's not a German fascist, he's an Italian fascist!

Tell me why I keep applying for jobs at drama schools that are clearly designed for freelancers (e.g. Saturday teaching in the junior department), and yet the form asks me to list out a chronological employment history with reasons for leaving each position like it's the 20th century

Enjoyed Lisa quoting Columbo's famous phrase: "and another thing" #TheTraitors

I just typed the word eleven and there is no way it's spelt like that, so unserious

It wouldn't be a series of #TheTraitors if there wasn't some of the worst rowing you've ever seen

Trans healthcare is not a luxury, it is essential!

It's been a complicated year, and my first full one out of education Savoy! My first professional show as MD and the first to contain my music has to be a highlight Lots to look forward to in 2025, potentially with a fringe run of my own with Mairead - watch this space!

Watching "It's a Wonderful Life" and in the alternate reality Mary meets the worst fate a 1940s woman can suffer - an unmarried librarian with glasses

Currently at the "staring at spreadsheets and screaming internally" stage of planning an Edinburgh Fringe run

Had a dream last night that I was cast in Les Mis as the guy who throws a rock at the dragon at the end of act one
