WHY HAVEN’T I SEEN THESE IMAGES FLOATING AROUND

I MEAN SERIOUSLY NO ONE TOLD ME THESE PHOTOS EXISTED

[littlethingwithfeathers]

Me in the booth when I’m anxious to start the show but there’s nothing to do.

Theatre people are very superstitious. It Helps

[anathemadevisearchive]

i’m a simple bitch, i see the use of a turntable on theatre sets, i lose my fucking mind

[thoughts-of-a-stagemanager]

Person: It wouldn’t surprise me if you were a vampire

Me: *raises eyebrow*

Person 2: of course she’s a vampire she works tech, she’s a damn Stage Manager.

Me: You’re-you’re not wrong.

Scientist 1, an absolute slut for Christmas: EARLY CHRISTMAS IS GOOD FOR YOU

Scientist 2, ready to burn every Christmas tree within a 10 mile radius because it's not even Thanksgiving yet: IF I HEAR A SINGLE JINGLE BELL, I WILL DIE

[poztatt]

Obvious solution: silently decorate your tree.  Yay! 

[earlgraytay]

decorating your tree is a choice, it’s enrichment, it makes your environment better ( to your standards) and brings your family together

christmas music is everywhere, it’s inescapable, if you work retail you have to hear it 8 hours a day, and if you’re not Christian or have issues with Christmas it drives you even battier than usual 

makes sense to me 

[please-dont-drop-the-mic]

If I hear any Christmas music before thanksgiving I am going to sue for causing me undue emotional distress

we are all rowdy theatre kids in god’s denny’s when you really think about it

[schizoauthoress]

Today I learned that Van Halen have that rider in their contract about “a bowl of M&Ms with all the brown ones removed” in order to know at a glance if the promoter read the entire contract.  And the reason they do THAT is because they once had a stage collapse because a promoter hadn’t read the proper way to set up all the specific technical stuff.

So if the band goes in the dressing room or catering and sees brown M&Ms, they know they have to double-check the stage setup for safety.

Me: *About to despair*

7/11: *is right there*

The actor that snatched the Trump 2020 poster from a Trump supporter during bows at Frozen on Broadway is braver than any US marine and that’s the tea

[leepunzel]

No, he was unprofessional. I don’t care what your politics are, YOU DO NOT DISRESPECT THE AUDIENCE.

[andrewlloydwebber]

isn’t it disrespecting the actors to distract from their curtain call with a sign for a fascist (or any political sign)? isn’t the trump guy disrespecting the audience by drawing attention to himself when it’s supposed to be about celebrating the actors?

[durnesque-esque]

A Broadway show is not a fucking concert. You don’t get to bring posters or banners, just your respect for the show, performers, and crew. The actor had every right to grab it and shut that shit down.

[previouslyafangirl-deactivated2]

I agree whole-heartedly. If you go to a Broadway show you better show some manners. Not to mention this is a children’s show. “YOU DO NOT DISRESPECT THE AUDIENCE.” Sounds a lot like “The customer is always right,” When everyone knows the customer is usually wrong. Your presence in a theater production is a privilege, not a right. Don’t forget that.

[mountains-and-muses]

You absolutely disrespect the audience when the audience can’t control themselves and not be shit babies. Just like the drunk heckler that got decked during a production of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.

This is a good post, but I’ve got a couple additions that OP overlooked:

2. 1,000 candelabras 3. full-size pipe organ

one of the oldest and arguably the most important museum in Brazil is burning to the ground as we speak. home to the portuguese royal family from 1808 to 1821, the Museu Nacional stored fossils, meteorites, pre-historic human skeletons and a variety of artefacts related to natural history. it holds two centuries of latin & brazilian history and now it’s all gone.

some of the things that are now lost forever: the largest collection of egyptian artefacts in latin america; the skeleton of the largest flying reptile ever found in Brazil; the oldest human fossil ever found in the country, named “Luzia” (over 11.000 y.o) and other 20 million extremely important relics and researches just burned to the ground. never to be seen again.

thanks to our government, of course, who didn’t want to pay the museum the necessary funds to make the essencial maintenances since 2014 (which by the way, costed less than a supreme federal court judge’s sallary: R$520 in a year).

another sad instance where the state’s indifference towards culture and history becomes painfully obvious. this is a massive blow to our cultural legacy.

all that in our independe week. happy independe for us, brazilians, who just lost our history and culture in a fire caused by ignorance and indifference.

[lupins-archive-deactivated20181]

in case you’re wondering, this is what the museum used to look like:

this is what it looks like now:

thousands of years of culture lost. happy independence week.

[lupins-archive-deactivated20181]

“Authorities say the fire lasted for six hours, causing irreparable damage. To put it bluntly: it’s all gone. A meteorite, that can sustain incredibly high temperatures, was found intact. But other than that, there are apparently no other pieces left. It would not be an understatement to call the Museu Nacional the Brazilian equivalent of the Louvre or the British Museum.”

here is a thread of wonderful pictures taken before the fire started, so you can see details of the museum that now is lost forever.

here is some of the international news saying on this, because most articles and videos are all in portuguese, u can check some of the news in english: (here *new york times*) (here *bbc news*) (here *le monde* for french speaking readers) (here *shorouk news* for people who speak arabian) (here *azteca news* for spanish) (here *corriere della sera* for italian).

it was a natural science and historic museum, there were all sorts of important researches and relics. all burned. this was our culture. our history. the first human fossil found in brazil (mentioned above, Luzia) was so important for science, since it proved that way before indigenous tribes existed in Brazil, there were black people.

this is the place where our first constitution was made and the declaration of independence was signed. our independe day is this friday. heartbroken.
