How about we worry less, as a society, about whether individuals might be cheating to get a disability accommodation or some help buying food, and more about whether extremely wealthy people and corporations are paying their fair share of taxes?

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

Headed up to New York for the sole purpose of seeing Anne Washburn’s The Burning Cauldron of Fiery Fire before it closes because that’s how much I love apocalyptic drama and Anne Washburn (and @donnettalavinia.bsky.social). #theatresky

Seeing #EurekaDay in person is way different than reading it. When my class read it we took it seriously as a real conversation about vaccines and we thought the play didn’t work. In person I can see that it’s just a humorous takedown of really terrible people. #theatresky #puretheatre #charleston

Every time I come grocery shopping I become more convinced that somewhere in a back room, a @harristeeter.bsky.social manager is systematically going through the list of things I buy regularly and removing them from their orders.

As ludicrous as the whole answer is, what gets me is the use of “despite scale” to refer to Elon’s gaggle of offspring. Like they’re a business model, which I guess in his mind they are.

Pinot Grigio and Red Hots are quickly becoming my grading-avoidance Friday evening snack. I’m not sure if I’m aging or regressing.

Huh. I’m also on Hulu. It’s at the start of each episode. Weird.

I’ve had to watch the “previously on” segment twice before each episode just to remember what I didn’t understand in the last episode. Haven’t yet decided if it’s worth it.

Right there with you. So many exams. So many papers. At least this semester I’ll have the fun of reading many students’ snarky comments about the current administration in their history papers.

Cole Escola on @jeopardyofficial.bsky.social doing a whole category of answers on Abraham Lincoln was just the perfect fusion of some of my favorite things. #theatreSky

I miss the old hellsite. Once upon a time, people actually talked about #theatre there. Here it’s all Shakespeare quotes and “Your twenty favorite” whatever and no actual discussion. Does being nice mean we can’t mentally engage?

#CircusQuixote at Looking Glass Theatre was fantastic. Amazing circus work that didn’t overwhelm the poignance of the show. I highly recommend it! #theatresky

Mine too. The only time it approves of me is when I’m sitting in the theatre. And it’s not wrong.

Heard it in conversation constantly in grad school. Still have to look it up every time I want to use it.

Today I’m at Playwrights Horizons for Jordan Harrison’s The Antiquities. I love speculative theatre that gets us thinking about our present. I’m excited for this!

I’m so glad I was able to see Sanaz Toossi’s English @roundaboutnyc.bsky.social before it closes. It’s a beautiful character study that also confronts the problems caused by the englishization (I declare it a word) of the world. Even more lovely in the acting than in the reading.

New York for spring break and shows. First up - @roundaboutnyc.bsky.social for Sanaz Toossi’s English. We read this for one of my classes this semester so I’ve thought about it a lot. Looking forward to it!

I decided three shows last weekend was too many, so this weekend I just went to part of a tech rehearsal last night, and tonight I’m at The Footlight Players for Gutenberg! The Musical! Looking forward to some silly fun.

I love that too. The script strongly suggests that theatres do that. It’s like Heidi Schreck knew we’d need it.
