This is my cat, Squeaky, who died suddenly one year ago today (12/6/2021). She was a perfect cat in so many ways. She was feisty (good luck trying to trim her nails), picky, cuddly, insistent, and loved to lie on my knitting. I had her for 14 years and she was my best friend. I miss her every day.

Alina Cojocaru and Isaac Hernandez in Romeo and Juliet, English National Ballet, October 2015. © Bill Cooper.

Alina Cojocaru and Isaac Hernandez led out the night. Both making their debuts, as individuals they did well enough, if there seemed little chemistry. As the night progressed their tellings became more realistic, but Cojocaru’s first appearances and a particularly childish portrayal did not work; we know she is young but this seemed way too young.

Giselle By Akram Khan Sadler’s Wells, 2016

Taking one of the most memorable ballets and turn it into a contemporary piece is a task most of choreographers would find hard enough to not even consider accepting such challenge. It feels almost suicidal. Unless, of couse, you’re Akram Khan, and your passion and fearless commitment has no limits. I’ve never seen anything from him that I didn’t love, but this Giselle felt so epic, current and relevant, it’s probably the most compelling piece he’s ever produced. I consciously did things in reverse and went to see this modern Giselle without any references from the original one, as I didn’t want to feel conditioned to compare both stories. And my God, what an unbelievable night Alina Cojocaru, Stina Quagebeur (those relevés!) and the whole English National Ballet gave us. If this piece doesn’t become a modern masterpiece I will be really surprised.

Nearly 14,000 mail ballots in Nevada have signature issues

Nearly 14,000 Nevada voters must verify their identity with election officials to cure the signature on their mail-in ballots or their votes

Nearly 14,000 mail ballots in Nevada have signature issues

Officials urge residents to use online tool to check if ballot was accepted

The total number of ballots — 13,906 — needing curing include 6,383 from registered nonpartisan or other voters, 4,026 from Democrats and 3,497 from Republicans.

The deadline for voters to cure their ballots is 5 p.m. Nov. 12, officials said. Ballots can be cured here.

The main issue they're having with young voters is that Nevada allows for voter registration through the Department of Motor Vehicles, and the "signatures" are digital (the licensee types it into a form), so their hand-written signatures on their ballots don't match the KEYSTROKES that serve as signatures on their license.

It would be hilarious if it weren't so fucking infuriating.

[for-a-longlongtime]

Please share so Nevada folks see this and can cure their ballots and help people close to them do so!

I hope none of you disappear in the coming days. Seriously don't do anything that can't be undone.

I know i'm just a random person you follow online but I mean it. People (all kinds of marginalised people too!) Have survived all types of horrible times and managed to find happiness eventually. If for no one else, survive for them. And also, try to survive because the people making you despair don't want you to live. Don't give this to them. Don't give your life. The best thing you can do is cling to it with everything you've got. Lay in bed for a day if you have to. but please promise you won't hurt yourself.

[hiveswap]

Take screen breaks, (now more than ever!!) Meet up, Call your friends, call your family if you're on good terms. Text your favourite mutual you never speak to if you've got no one irl. Make sure you eat enough and sleep enough, and take any meds and vitamins. Don't believe anything you think if you're hungry and tired. Rewatch your favourite show. Get a therapy appointment if you think you need it.

You can absolutely not take any shortcuts when it comes to your wellbeing right now.

When you see a really good post but there’s some form of guilt tripping to reblog it added on at the end
