HEY remember in WWII when Jewish people were fleeing Germany and the USA put a quota on how many Jewish immigrants they would accept because they were worried there were too many Jewish people coming over to the USA???

Reminder that the USA has always been fucking garbage to immigrants and basic humanity

Please spread I haven’t seen this in the news still! I’ve literally had to tell people about it and they didn’t believe me!

If Wonder Woman doesn't do well at the box office there will be no more superhero movies with a woman in the lead role. I hope all of you are able to find $10 to see the movie.

Your girl won the Hamilton lottery today people... what can I say that hasn't been said already? The show is incredible. I also saw War Paint yesterday night and took a picture with Patti LuPone, which was an absolute dream come true. The 14 year old kid just getting into theatre inside me was on cloud 9. I'm feeling happy, grateful, and blessed for the last two days. I still owe you guys a Dear Evan Hansen review but feel free to message me if you'd like a Hamilton or War Paint review as well.

You call yourself a free spirit, a ‘wild thing,’ and you’re terrified somebody’s gonna stick you in a cage. Well baby, you’re already in that cage. You built it yourself. And it’s not bounded in the  west by Tulip, Texas, or in the east by Somali-land. It’s wherever you go. Because no matter where you run, you just end up running into yourself.       - Breakfast at Tiffany’s (1961)
