Theater Freak

This was not created of my own free will. It's an outlet for an obsession- theater. So expect a ridiculous amount of obscure and "WTF" worthy posting on everything from highschool plays, to Broadway, to foreign musicals.

No but moralizing about how you don’t deserve the vaccine yet is greatly reducing vaccination numbers it’s not your job to worry about if you’re “stealing” a vaccine from someone else there is a National supply and when it’s your turn it’s your turn. Refusing to get vaccinated is not going to magically vaccinate a bed bound rural person. It’s just going to get vaccine doses thrown in the garbage. God.

[normal-with-adhd-is-a-joke]

Every vaccine dose ups our herd immunity.  Every vaccine dose potentially frees up treatment for other people who might need it.  Get the vaccine!  There’s no “selfish” reason to protect yourself and everyone else from a deadly virus.

Central Alabama was hit by bad storms and tornadoes today (March 25th, 2021). I and all my loved ones are safe, but there’s a lot of damage

I’m going to preempt all the “here’s how to help Birmingham!” posts from people out of state just googling for local charities by recommending local community groups that I can personally vouch for. If you want to support, here are some great places to put your money:

Birmingham Mutual Aid

The Birmingham Free Store

Be A Blessing Birmingham

Greater-Birmingham Alliance to Stop Pollution (GASP)

If you can spare a few bucks, we could use it. There’s a lot of work to do over the coming days, and I’m personally gonna try to volunteer as much as I can

Please signal boost this post

just watched the lion in winter again and still a fantastic movie, but I just spent 10 minutes trying to find a screencap of the bit where timothy dalton is in the background of family drama just like

Some actors: "I'm so tired of being typecast and I fear I can never escape the shadow of that iconic role I once played"

Michael Dorn: "I am literally BEGGING you to let me play Worf again"

honestly, out of all the games that might have patch notes reading “fixed a Geneva convention violation”, Stardew Valley was not one I expected.

[ink-quill-coffee]

Lol?!?

[zennistrad]

This far from the first game to do so. This specific Geneva Conventions violation is so common in video games the Red Cross itself has had to tell the industry to knock it off.

My favorite part of it all is that it makes “Neopets violated the Geneva Conventions in the early 2000s” a completely true sentence.

Small correction: The minimum wage in Washington is $13.69/hr. It’s Seattle specifically that has a $15 MW.

You know what one of the biggest changes the city has seen is? The number of people who live here who sign up for military service has plummeted. Because the military relies on poor teens wanting three hots and a cot plus a little bit of pay for its recruitment. When they can make more money working minimum wage jobs, people don’t enlist.

I love this.

Get the vaccine.

If you have the opportunity, get it. If you’re eligible, get it. If you’re NOT eligible and you have a chance, get it.

If it’s due to a condition. If it’s due to your job. If it’s through a “hey our doses will expire, anybody available come quick” situation. And yes, even if it’s through a “my sister can get me in” situation.

This isn’t a selfish act, no matter how you get it. Every single person who is vaccinated helps everyone. This is a group project. There is no ethical issue with getting vaccinated “ahead of someone else.” That is not a thing. This isn’t a single-file queue and it is impossible to vaccinate everyone in an exact order of priority, all we can do is emphasize higher-risk people, which is being done whenever possible. 

If you can get it, get it. You are only helping.

Tired of people comparing every forbidden love story to Romeo and Juliet, especially ones about class or racial divides. It’s important to how the story works that the Capulets and Montagues are alike in dignity and that the feud is baseless and petty on both sides. If the Capulets had spent centuries systematically disenfranchising the Montagues, it wouldn’t be Romeo and Juliet. The play relies on both families facing roughly equal losses and being able to make roughly equal apologies and roughly equal reparations. Romeo and Juliet is a play about two kids who weren’t allowed to love in a world full of senseless hatred, and if you give one side a valid reason to hate the other—if either the Capulets or the Montagues are right—it stops being that and starts implying that the opressed have as much to do with the environment of hatred as their opressors do

So. Today in class we assigned Macbeth roles to students to read. When I asked the class who wants to be Lady Macbeth, a young man raised his hand. I kind of stared at him like “Lady Macbeth,” and he nodded like “I know what I’m about ma’am.” So then the student who ended up as Macbeth raised his hand and said “HE’S THE ONE, HE’S MY WIFE!” So I said “yeah sure why not,” and the entire class period they were blowing kisses to each other and winking at each other, and every now and then Macbeth would say “I’m the luckiest man on Earth” and Lady Macbeth would put a hand to his chest, and be like “BABE!”.

I just stared at them, knowing that they CLEARLY have never read ‘Macbeth’ before, so… all this lovey dovey… I don’t know if I have the heart to tell them the truth.

Update:

Macbeth is absolutely willing to fucking throw down for Lady Macbeth. Has already threatened a wall, a desk, a few students, a textbook that was neither his nor Lady Macbeth’s, and me

Lady Macbeth is enjoying the attention and has begun to use this new connection to his advantage. I’m starting to suspect he’s read ahead in the play.

Macbeth is going to end up living in detention at this rate.

Macbeth has no idea that he is the tragedy of the story. Claims to be the hero of the play, fails to see the irony in this

Macbeth slowly scooted his desk across the classroom to hold hands with Lady Macbeth. He was not subtle.

Macbeth has proposed on several occasions. Lady Macbeth just laughs and says they’re already married.

Macbeth’s girlfriend is in the class with them and is “totally not jealous or anything just thinks this whole fucking play is a waste of time”

Lady Macbeth should probably be a theatre major at some point, he fucking rocked Act V scene I

Other teachers and staff are emailing me about the “lovely lords”. Lady Macbeth now refuses to answer to anything other than Lady Macbeth and is always very upset when people don’t call him by his proper title.
