Actor, director, teacher. Blue AF. Atheist. I love dogs the most, but all animals are better than most people. Shakespeare's Complete Works is my bible.
Please, no DMs unless you plan on casting me or hiring me to direct.
I'm still doing the Blackout Black Friday. I do have to go grocery shopping tomorrow, but I'll shop for the basics only and from a locally owned grocery.

A master playwright.
I’m dumbstruck by news of the death of Tom Stoppard—maybe because he hoarded all the words and knew how to use them better than just about anyone. I hope we savor his spectacular wit and erudition and argue about the politics of his plays forever. He was monumental, and also a kind and curious man.

If you still don’t want to leave Spotify (despite the fact you can transfer your playlists to other streaming options that don’t profit from exploiting artists while recruiting for ICE), we ask you not to share your Spotify Wrapped this year.
Spotify is running ads to recruit for the regime’s secret police. Stop paying for or using Spotify until the ICE ads stop: indivisible.org/cancel-spotify?source=bluesky

An Amazing playwright has left our world.... May Angels sing thee to they rest.... farewell #TomStoppard
""I think age is a very high price to pay for maturity." Tom Stoppard
a quote on my email template
Farewell to the absurdist king.

An extraordinary man.
Sad that he's gone. A very great playwright in a world where there seem to be fewer and fewer, whatever his opinions on other matters.

Someone (almost certainly multiple people) in the US Navy's chain-of-command clearly committed murder as defined by both international law and US military code. Was it Trump? Was it Hegseth? Admiral Frank Bradley? Subordinates? Do not let this go.
