UPDATE I WAS LOOKING AT A LIST OF ALL TOWN SIGNS IN MASSACHUSETTS AND I FOUND LITERALLY THE EXACT IMAGE THAT WAS EDITED TO CREATE THE PROMO IT’S AMHERST
The croissant debate has me in tears laughing over how hard the others are rage-baiting Murph and I genuinely can't tell if he's in on the joke this time lmao
I honestly think Gen-Z and younger simply does not understand how recent widespread smartphone adoption is.
I am not that old, and I didn't have a smartphone until probably late high school. For most of my life, many if not most people were not walking around with a magic internet machine in their pocket that they pulled out and used constantly for everything.
OP, this is genuinely a masterpiece, three poems in one, moving and well craft. Please tell me you have submitted it to at least some poetry contests, and if not, please do so.
Gods, imagine insulting Audra McDonald, Broadway darling and national treasure, and then doubling down on insulting Kecia Lewis, another black woman with a long career on Broadway.
Is Patti LuPone racist? I don’t know. She seems to generally be fine with insulting others and getting what she wants, in a very ‘classic Hollywood broad’ way. I think she probably wasn’t intending to be racist when she rudely told another production to quiet down for her show (and it was rude, I go to the theatre all the time, noise from other spaces is a part of the experience, most people deal with it).
But choosing to insult two black women, her peers (one who is considered one of the best theatre actors of the modern age), in print with no fear of pushback? At the very best, it shows an insane amount of white privilege and a lack of self-awareness. At worst, it makes it clear that she finds black women beneath her, even if she doesn’t realise it. I’m not shocked that McDonald, known for her professionalism and old-school graciousness, isn’t friends with LuPone. They cannot move through the world in the same way. She should acknowledge how poorly she came across, apologise, and get a publicist who will rein her in a bit more, because she’s just hurting her own legacy at this point.
I’m not a musical theatre fan (generally hate it in fact), but I did love seeing LuPone in Company years ago, and I grew up with her on my television. I liked her as an actor/singer. I won’t say I’m disappointed because I no longer have faith in any celeb not acting like a fucking weirdo. But I wish more white celebs thought about the way they come across in the same way black people always have to. If Patti suffers consequences from this, then it’s well deserved based on this article.
And well done to Audra for publicly standing with another black actor, that’s why she’s so beloved.
The seventy-six-year-old theatre diva, famed and feared for her salty bravado, dishes on Hal Prince, her non-friendship with Audra McDonald,
It's important to talk about how Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh is being charged with terrorism for what can be boiled down to waving a Palestine flag and shouting phrases that, for an Irish person, aren't support of terrorist groups but are moreso that oppressors should not be supported at all. Though the second one could be debated. But I want to look at another aspect of the situation.
One thing I want to point out that you notice about a lot of the reports from British journals about this. They refer to him as "Liam O' Hana", as that's the name he was charged under. One issue with that. That's not his name.
O' Hana may be his legal surname. But his first name is Liam Óg, not Liam. The fact they changed his name when charging him is a political statement of how the Irish language is viewed under the current British government.
Regardless of what you think about what Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh said, the British courts have made a political statement about what they think of the Irish language and Irish people. These aren't just "Irish versions of names". They're our names. They're willing to strip us of our own names. The British systems in place are still willing to strip us of our culture as soon as they want to make a point.
It's not surprising that we are seeing this first hand with an Northern Irish singer who is against the occupation of Ireland and Palestine. Do not let this be normalised.
They're older than Florida. The Floridian peninsula is the solidified runoff of the Appalachians that got caught on some coral. It's why we're like this, I think. You don't stand a chance of being normal when you were created by the shed skin of an elder god draping itself over a hollow skeleton. You're always going to be a little Off.
Worldcat is my bestie and my one true love!! Not only does it tell you what library a book is at, but it also price compares different used book sites against each other for easy view! It's how I got Tarot For the Master for $10!!
Oh, and since I have your attention: z-library (books and textbooks) and sci-hub (gatekept scientific journal articles.) I just ripped a textbook for class off z-library and snatched a required reading from sci-hub. Life is good and education should be accessible at every stage and station of life.
Human Form!Bryaxis has been occupying my brain so here’s a quick doodle. Some headcanons:
• Learns how to take on a human form after quietly observing the library’s Priestesses.
• An exiled Death God of Nightmares, confined to his beastly form at the NC library after challenging Koschei centuries ago and losing. Their dispute was over Koschei’s treatment of the females at the lake, which Bryaxis perceived as cruel and unnecessary.
• Stripped of most of his powers, he is but a reflection of other people’s worst nightmares. In his beastly form, his presence is enough to incite the horrid visions; in his human form, you must look into his depthless eyes. Your visions will occur whether he wants them to or not. He usually doesn’t.
• He sees the nightmares of all the Priestesses when they sleep at night, but due to the nature of his being, he is unable to stop any of them.
• Sometimes, he sleeps, too, and is plagued by nightmares of his own. When he does, he claws at his own skin, leaving scars that often take weeks to fade.
• In his human form, he has a deep, lulling voice that can compel anyone to fall asleep in mere seconds.
Just saw an ad for fucking Kellog's cornflakes wherein a shirtless blindfolded man tied to a bed is like "Wait.. are you... eating??" and it pans across the bed to reveal that his partner is, indeed, too distracted to have sex with him bc she is chowing down on corn flakes. Now I've been caught up in wondering whether:
a) John Harvey Kellog would despise this ad; the mere proximity of bondage-play to his brand name and beloved anti-porn flakes is unforgivable
b) John Harvey Kellog would enjoy this ad, because it shows a young woman forsaking the temptations of the flesh in favour of eating a wholesome and nourishing bowl of cornflakes
Cast your vote
A - that crunchy old man is rolling in his grave
B - it's literally demonstrating the flakes' intended purpose
C - what in the goddamn hell are you people talking about
"Are you sure you want to post this without tags?" What, pray tell, tumblr, would I add to this post to help it reach its 'intended audience.' #cornflakes #bondage
…..not even six hours later i got an offer of a well paying full time long-term job with free room and board in queens in nyc, allowing me independence and a way to escape an abusive situation and an unhealthy environment

Hey, so it turns out we’ve been living with two gas leaks in our house for an unknown amount of time and we need to replace our entire furnace unit. There are people coming on Thursday to do it.
We are taking out a line of credit to get it done because for our safety we have to, but the interest is significant.
I feel like I’m asking for a miracle, but if I can sell 2000 ebooks or 500 audiobooks of Hunger Pangs through my Payhip, that would cover it. You can also gift people copies through Payhip gifting system or by donating to the donate pile so I can run giveaways.
Joy is a Scottish international best-selling author, editor, and disability advocate currently manifesting in the American Midwest with her
The water heater still needs replaced but that leak has been addressed safely and is no longer slowly killing us.
If you like what I do and want to support me in other ways I have a Patreon and a Ko-fi. (You can ignore the 18+ warning that comes up on my Patreon, they’ve had me wrongly flagged as an adult content creator for years.)
Please, I cannot stress this enough do not give money you don’t have. Even sharing this and telling people about my books is a wonderful help. I’m just trying to alleviate some of the financial strain from Mothman.
I’m going to have a lie down now in a well-ventilated space. Maybe have a soothing scream first.
