Last month, I got to film my one-act play "I don't know, then we die" for a digital slot with the Rogue Theater Festival. This play takes place in a high school bathroom, and filming was an exhilarating (and very humid) challenge. You can stream the piece through July 12: cur8.com/17616/projec...

Little Jessica wants to participate in middle school volleyball with her friends? Turn over her DNA and subject her to a genital exam. Turns out she has CAIS and is intersex? Oh well, too bad. She can't compete on the girls team anymore and has to use the boys bathroom despite having a vagina.

A big deal: a federal court has BLOCKED Alabama from using nitrogen gas to execute. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026... My colleague Lauren Gill has done essential work witnessing what nitrogen gas does, and writing about this torturous method of execution in Alabama specifically. Revisit:

Timely again because of the International Gymnastics Federation's decision this week to allow Russian gymnasts to compete under their flag again...

My play is on the homepage of @newplayexchange.bsky.social! So grateful to be on this list of Experimental Work alongside some other fabulous artists. You can read it here: newplayexchange.org/script/20199...

After spending 35 years growing Baltimore’s Everyman Theatre, Vincent Lancisi — the company’s founder and lone artistic director, will retire at the end of June. buff.ly/NklXJ0z

I was looking up an article I wrote a few years ago about Russian gymnasts + other athletes aiding propaganda about the invasion of Ukraine, and I found out it was cited in an academic journal! 🤩 Thank you to Leo Goretti and the Istituto Affari Internazionali www.iai.it/sites/defaul...

Re Chavez: Thread for sexual assault survivors/victims (however you see yourself is ok!) and people supporting them today. Here are some things that I think are useful. I am not an expert, just someone who has been navigating being public about my experiences, including in media interviews. 🧵

Sometimes I'll start talking about a gymnastics things and later Ben will talk about a football thing and I realize we're just doing "blorbo from my shows" at each other. Blorbo from my sports.

I have never watched figure skating before

If you're gonna victim blame this hard, at least proofread.

It's funny how half of any given Olympic gymnastics team or NCAA roster goes into commentating but in figure skating if you want to work in sports media you have to have a bedazzled duel with Johnny and Tara

The administration routinely calls ordinary Minnesotans terrorists and says observer video is doxxing. You just handed them a pass, Chuck. Remove Chuck Schumer now. Every second he spends talking about—and compromising on—masks is unbearable.

The phrase “not on my bingo card” is not sufficient to describe the theatre news of today

okay I am genuinely devastated and unwell and will be singing "god loves a terrier" all weekend

My new mission is to get @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social @mayor.nyc.gov to DIRT at The Tank. He would have so much fun! In other news, I reviewed Elevator Repair Service's ULYSSES adaptation at Under the Radar: www.newyorktheatreguide.com/reviews/ulys...

Chuck, I have terrible news. The feds shot the Baileys. Point-blank range, right in the face. They're gone, Chuck. You let them die. You have the Baileys' blood on your hands.

ICE has kidnapped one of my MN News Guild siblings

Conservation nonprofit American Prairie in Montana has acquired holdings now spanning more than 2,428 km², the nonprofit aims to stitch together 12,950 km² of shortgrass prairie, home to bison, badgers, prairie dogs, ferrets, pronghorn, sage grouse and swift fox. buff.ly/PJYfnwi #ShareGoodNewsToo

If you're not in the theatre world, you maybe don't know why Mamdani handing out free Under the Radar tix was so significant. Just a few years ago, UTR was all but gone. It's so important that City leaders shine a light on affordable arts! From 2023: www.americantheatre.org/2023/06/06/a...

Renee Nicole Good, who was murdered by ICE yesterday, was a published poet Indeed, she won the 2020 Academy of American Poets Prize for a piece called "On Learning to Dissect Fetal Pigs" It's beautiful and you can read it here: poets.org/2020-on-lear... The poem's conclusion is haunting me now

It's annoying how much of the NCAA gymnastics fandom refuses to migrate from Twitter to literally any other website/forum that doesn't have a rapid porn-generating bot doing AI child abuse

Not to make New Year's ~all about me~ but this is the fifth anniversary of my Nana dying of Covid alone in assisted living. The state then forged her death certificate to keep numbers low in 2021. Robbed of the chance to say goodbye, then told it didn't actually happen.

I have a bunch of annual subscriptions that keep hitting my account and annoying me but @brightwalldarkroom.com does not annoy me. You get so much for 15 bucks!

Yet another instance of Jeffries failing to build a coalition

Honored to have been asked to contribute to this list of the 50 most influential plays of the last 25 years. Thank you to my former colleagues at AT for compiling this cultural archive! www.americantheatre.org/2025/12/17/5...

Jewish groups are circulating the hebrew names of the injured for the traditional prayers for healing. Just got sent these: * Reuven Ben Manya * Chaya Mushka bas Shterna Sara * Feivel Eliezer ben Dobra Bella * Arsan ben Amelia * Yaakov Dov ben Pnina * Yaakov ben Ethel * Moshe Yonatan ben Tziporah

One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential

In addition to all of the other benefits already reported about NYC congestion pricing, "In the first six months of the program, air pollution – in the form of particulate matter 2.5 micrometers and smaller – dropped by 22% in the Congestion Relief Zone (CRZ)" news.cornell.edu/stories/2025...

It’s my 30th birthday 🙂which means it’s the 5th anniversary of my Grandmom’s death 🙁

Journalists should never be arrested for doing their jobs. Prosecutors in Miami-Dade County must immediately drop the charges against photojournalist Dave Decker, and police should apologize for arresting him for doing nothing more than working to keep the public informed.

Going off of this, you really don’t need to post the sordid details of how someone abused a child. It’s really fine to leave that out. Really, we’re good.

BREAKING: Dozens of Starbucks baristas & hundreds of allies are demonstrating at Starbucks’ largest regional distribution center in the country in York, PA. Workers are escalating their ULP strike RIGHT NOW to shine a light on how Starbucks is failing partners at every level.

Palmyra will not go forward with ICE partnership, village officials say via @askennard.bsky.social wisconsinexaminer.com/briefs/palmy...

Baruch Hashem!!! Awful that he had to wait in a holding cell to learn his fate minutes before the schedule execution but of course the psychological torture is half the point.

What do you want from the woman who allowed Josh Duggar to sit in the same room with her while she interviewed the survivors of his assault on camera?

Whenever these files come up, adult CSA survivors have a rough day. When you talk about this, remember that those survivors are in the room. You may not think they are. You may think you would know if they were. You don't know.

Does everyone doing politics reporting get fired at the end of this?

It's World Ballet Day, so I'm resharing a piece I reported for ELLE about dancers fighting for workplace protections for pregnancy, and working to change the field for the better: "We’re told we should do it ‘for the love of the art form,’ but we still have bills to pay and families to raise."

I remain absolutely riveted by Anne Washburn's new play and am grateful that I get to keep unraveling its puzzles. My review: www.newyorktheatreguide.com/reviews/the-...

if you are food insecure for both the humans and pets in your household there is a tool called Pet Help Finder that can help locate pet food banks nearby and other free or reduced price assistance and supplies for pets. no one, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE, should have to give up their pet bc of this.

Once again, we need to define what “feminism” is here. Not everything any woman ever does—not even in the political realm, and not even concerning gender—is “feminism.” Opposing the rights of women as a class to equal status and dignity is in fact called “antifeminism.”
