My goal in life is to be one of those people who are just light. You see them and you suddenly feel so warm inside and all you want to do is hug them. And they look at you and smile with the warmest light in their eyes…. and you love them. maybe not in a romantic way but you just want to be close to them and you hope some of their light transfers onto you.

As I get older the more I appreciate straight forward people. Like if you’re mad at me I will respect you if you tell me. I don’t understand adults that would rather stomp their feet and use passive aggressive behavior to communicate. Life does not have to be this difficult fam

See, Rowling largely operates Harry’s generation in a clear system of parallels to the previous generation, Marauders and all. Harry is his father—Quidditch star, a little pig-headed sometimes, an excellent leader. Ron is Sirius Black—snarky and fun, loyal to a fault, mired in self-doubts. Hermione is Remus Lupin—book smart and meticulous, always level-headed, unfailingly perceptive. Ginny is Lily Evans—a firecracker, clever and kind, unwilling to take excuses. Draco Malfoy is Severus Snape—a natural foil to Harry, pretentious, possessed of the frailest ego and also deeper sense of right and wrong when it counts. And guess what? Neville Longbottom is Peter Pettigrew. … Neville is a perfect example of how one single ingredient in the recipe can either ruin your casserole (or stew, or treacle tart, whatever you like), or utterly perfect your whole dish. Neville is the tide-turner, the shiny hinge. And all because he happens to be in the same position as Wormtail… but makes all the hard choices that Pettigrew refused the first time around. Other characters are in similar positions, but none of them go so far as Neville. None of them prove that the shaping of destiny is all on the individual the way he does.

In 2015 I read the Bible chronologically in a year. In 2016, my plan is to do a deep study of one scripture and work on applying its principles to my life. The theme scripture I have chosen for this year is Colosians 3:12-15. Throughout the year please feel free to ask me what I'm learning, or how I've grown in compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, patience, forgiveness, love, peace, and thankfulness. I'm looking forward to the places God will lead me. Happy New Year, everyone!

Whether Ms. Rowling had described Hermione as white, black, green or none of the above, casting an adaptation of a work is not the same as illustrating it. An actress creates a character by embodying his or her spirit, not by resembling previous performers. The works of Shakespeare have been cast with any number of ethnicities — including many white actors, historically, as Othello the Moor. That Lin-Manuel Miranda is of Puerto Rican descent does not exactly make his portrayal of a white founding father in “Hamilton” any less powerful or authentic. In fact, the musical’s multiethnic casting metaphorically underscores that America is a nation of immigrants better than any literal likeness could. Just so, any resistance to Ms. Dumezweni’s casting only proves how appropriate it is. After all, one of the most important aspects of Hermione’s character is that the bigots of her own world consider her impure and illegitimate.

How beautiful it is to find someone who not only accepts who I am, but celebrates the things that have made me who I am. We find joy in being seen, to be known is what our hearts long for. How wonderful, to have someone who knows us, and extends the hand of promise and future growth. That is fuel for our souls, when someone makes the effort to love you for you.

[tblaberge]

We have the opportunity every day to reach out and love someone, we have the chance to be kind and joyful, and yet, we seem to think that it’s the job of someone else to do that for us. It’s time we decide if we are going to be active in what we want, or destructive in what we will not do. You must be brave when it comes to initiating love, you must be willing to lay down your pride and say “I choose to extend the hand of peace first, I choose to show love in the way it was meant to be shown, with hands open and a willing heart.” Today is the day to take the opportunity to do something beautiful.

I want to remind everyone AGAIN, as Tony Awards season nears:

Tonys are the awards.

Tony’s is a pizzeria.

[deactivated---1-deactivated2017]

Dunno. They sound the same to me. But, since when did the Tonys ever care about sound?

[weirdtinkerer]

You get an award for pyrotechnics because that was a sick burn.

[backstageleft-deactivated202009]

q2qcomics: “There’s also no Tony for pyro…. Props for that joke though. Speaking of which, props also doesn’t have a Tony.” 

[slightlyinelegant]

Seems like you guys are just projecting a lot of your anger here. It’s impressive, but unfortunately there’s no award for projections either.

[2toplace]

Can we all manage to take 5 and give them a break? Oh wait, there isn’t Tony for stage management either.
