🌈Happy Pride! Wanna support a rural queer & trans playwright, poet, podcaster, novelist, zhnester, & crossing guard who's short on rent & needs to refill their T & psych meds? That would be very gay rights of you. You can buy a bunch of my stuff here! www.patreon.com/c/emmlf/shop

winnie the pooh is such a transmasc icon

You know who isn't getting radicalized? Guys who do ships in a bottle. Embrace model-building and avoid the pitfalls of right-wing extremism

there's lots of stuff cishet people who wanna be 🏳️‍🌈allies🏳️‍⚧️ should do all year, but for those who can only commit to remembering we exist in june, you can maximize your fair weather allyship by: 1) volunteering to do some pride chores, &/or 2) not adding anything else to our plates til july

I love making a sandwich that has like 3-5 different mildly spicy ingredients/condiments. I don't want many chili peppers in terms of Scoville scale, I want many in terms of variety.

Pride month is coming up and I cannot tell you enough, cis people, that the best thing you can do right now is stand up for trans people financially, publicly, and in any way you can think of so this witch hunt ends, once again, with bigots on the wrong side of history.

check your settings!! I didn't even know this was a thing on bluesky & it was automatically disabled.

it's so funny going thru puberty in middle age because you think it's going to suck & then you're like "ooooh thiiiiiis is what it's like when your body changes in ways you actually want & have been looking forward to"

doing anything to promote ai at this moment feels like such a scab move. can we get a scab-adjacent term for this behaviour? pus-pimple? stop shilling for the beast, ya pus-pimples

Shen Yun lost their motion to dismiss a human trafficking suit. The allegations here are horrifying, including that Shen Yun shamed teenage girls for…menstruating. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

may have wuthered a lil too close to the heights

Could there be a better example of "the trans debate" than 98% of women supporting trans people and then one single lone person voting against them and getting their way regardless. It's all such a fucking sham

“The Al is not just telling you what you want to hear. It is training you, one conversation at a time, to need less friction, expect more agreement, and become slightly less capable of handling a situation where someone pushes back on you”

A Pope is a Pope and will always believe many things I do not believe, but that does not change how absolutely bang-on correct and beautifully articulated this is.

petsitting for moderately well off people with kids is great because i get to larp being moderately well off sans kids

One of the best things you can do as an adult is realize that you didn’t actually have to stop drawing, coloring, painting, playing with clay, doing whatever else you loved as a kid. Even if you’re bad at it. Maybe especially if you’re bad at it

i can do so few things because i am doing so many things

um can we get the booktok girlies who are only reading the dialogue into plays?

g*d is a he/him lesbian

Hey y’all, are you looking for the coolest, online, free, 24 hour, Shavuot study option? Are you into feminist, queer representation? I highly recommend checking out/signing up for ShavuotLIVE! I’m not a presenter or anything, I just love this event!

none of the structure or punctuation « ai tells » seem very telling in themselves to me. the tell is the content betrays a total lack of firsthand experience with being alive on the planet, related with absolute confidence.

Me & my professor buddy make this podcast called Theotre of the Mind where he explains sociology to me & I explain plays to him. We'll be so stoked if you listen & subscribe on your platform of choice, rate, review, comment, & recommend it to people you know. www.iheart.com/podcast/1333...

NOW: Hundreds of Solidarity Guard activists in Jerusalem to provide protective presence during the notoriously violent Flag March, when extremist settlers flood the city and Palestinian residents close their businesses and hide inside for fear of being spat on, pushed, and called slurs. (1/2)

the most bizarre thing about adhd adulthood is that "strong potential, but needs to apply themself" continues to be the case when you apply yourself so thick everybody's frign sick of it

My friend who used to say the final stage of corporate greed was demanding to be loved is never, ever proved wrong.

New episode of the podcast I make with my friend Youssef is out! I brought the play Our Town, so we talk a lot about stage management, which is appropriate since I'm currently training him as an ASM! www.iheart.com/podcast/1333...

I keep thinking about this because I have an ultramarathoner husband, and the thing I think about is that people are dying at here-to-fore uncontemplated rates in the Italian alps in part because they are asking ChatGPT for advice. (Source: www.outsideonline.com/outdoor-adve...)

it's a great day to unfollow ng, if it just slipped your mind when he slunk out of sight

starting t on friday the 13th has a real werewolf energy to it

It's not just eulogizing them for a moment after their death. We all expect for Good and Pretti to be held up as the faces most associated with this resistance. It's already happening. Because white people always need white faces to identify with.

hey that podcast i make with my professor friend is back. i told him about Caryl Churchill; he told me about some smart people shit, good times. www.iheart.com/podcast/1333...

I always remember that Zwerg, like many of the Freedom Riders, was in fact a sincerely religious Christian whose belief in God’s justice, which supersedes that of the state, made Zwerg’s work on earth not only possible but compulsory.

I just want to make it clear that it was *Border Patrol* agents who murdered Alex Pretti, and those fuckers murder people regularly here along the border. Renee Good´s murderer is also a former Border Patrol agent (currently ICE). Disband ALL the paramilitary groups and prosecute every member.

making myself a guided meditation about being taxidermied & put in a whimsical display case

i don’t think i’d thrive in an orgy setting but i would go to a party where we all just moisturized each others hands

GOOD MORNING I am SO excited to announce that my gothic horror novel, Woman of Sorrow and Blood, is coming out on March 13th!! Click through to see the full cover, blurb, and of course, preorder links!! #BookSky #IndieBooks

a stranger told me they hope I die in an email via a professional networking site today. which is not very professional. & also, as a chronically suicidal playwright: that's hope plagiarism, actually.

Hilary P. Barry's 1000 Monologues Challenge is a truly spectacular resource-in-progress for actors & anybody else who wants to learn more about plays & performance. As of today, I'm honoured to be on a page in this wonderful video library. youtu.be/sMBex0o0iAM?...

Just posted my first script perk of 2026 over on Patreon. Buy this one for $3, or become a $3/month patron & get this + my whole back catalogue of plays, monologues, zines, videos about weird people who did weird stuff, etc.

it is a bit like the NYT covering Hitler as a kind of goofy German eccentricity. which is more or less how the NYT did in fact cover Hitler at the time.

fwiw, I think the best way to think of this is not really as "trump is the worst ever" so much as "trump takes all the worst aspects of american history and speed runs them all at once"

if I'd known this would be our last episode with merlin, I wouldn't have edited out so much of him trying to steal the mic. 😿 www.iheart.com/podcast/1333...

It's 2025, smack in the middle of a festering decade of plagues & housing crisis & poverty & decaying transportation systems. & the memory that we can do things differently is still so close at hand. "Move to the big city!" simply cannot be the evergreen advice for artists any more.

denormalize hot playwright headshots. we should not be looked at. that is not what we are for. i'm sorry hot playwrights, nothing personal, but you're ruining it for all of us.

whatever you’re doing in your social life, if you can find a way to up the amount of time you’re spending with old lesbians, you will see immediate mental health benefits
